The FBI has fired Agent Peter Strzok over the anti-Trump texts he sent to his mistress and colleague Lisa Page. From The Daily Caller:

“Late Friday afternoon, the Deputy Director of the FBI overruled the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and departed from established precedent by firing 21-year FBI veteran Peter Strzok,” his lawyer Aitan Goelman said in a statement.”

Strzok’s text messages to Page revealed significant bias against then candidate Donald Trump and even one in which he pledged “we’ll stop” him from becoming president. Strzok played a central role in the investigation of the Trump 2016 campaign and its alleged ties to the Russian government along with the inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

Strzok was also briefly employed by special counsel Robert Mueller but was removed from the investigation because of his text messages and dalliance with a colleague.

Trump has long questioned why Strzok continued to have a job within the FBI despite significant evidence of his wrongdoing.

Big deal. One man gets fired from an agency rife with corruption and evil deeds.

So when may we expect seditious conspiracy charges?

Seditious Conspiracy:
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

I still don’t believe we’ve found out what Strzok’s “insurance policy” was. It can’t have been that silly fake dossier—that’s just business-as-usual; “insurance” would be something above and beyond that.

They may have to go after Lisa Page with cattle prods to find out . . . if they even want to find out.

Are we adopting the narrative that the left wants on this one? Was Strzok fired for the texts, which were arguably protected speech, or was he actually fired for leaking to the press?

Updated info on the firing. Strzok had downloaded classified information from the FBI server to his gmail account and then shared it with family members. For this the OPR wanted to give him a 60 day suspension? There’s an agent in Minnesota who downloaded classified information and is being prosecuted! Strzok should get the same treatment.
