Byron York: Nunes blows up, threatens contempt after FBI stonewalls House on Russia investigator demoted for anti-Trump bias
House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes has issued an angry
demand to the FBI and Department of Justice to explain why they kept
the committee in the dark over the reason Special Counsel Robert Mueller
kicked a key supervising FBI agent off the Trump-Russia investigation.
Stories in both the Washington Post and New York Times
on Saturday reported that Peter Strzok, who played a key role in the
original FBI investigation into the Trump-Russia matter, and then a key
role in Mueller's investigation, and who earlier had played an equally
critical role in the FBI's Hillary Clinton email investigation, was
reassigned out of the Mueller office because of anti-Trump texts he
exchanged with a top FBI lawyer, Lisa Page, with whom Strzok was having
an extramarital affair. Strzok was transferred to the FBI's human
resources office — an obvious demotion -- in July.
The
Post reported that Strzok and Page exchanged text messages that
"expressed anti-Trump sentiments and other comments that appeared to
favor Clinton."
