Peter Strzok would like to clear a few things up




https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/05/peter-strzok-would-like-to-clear-a-few-things-up-409280

"I’m sorry to bother you. But it turns out Trump just accused me of treason.”

Peter Strzok, who was still an FBI employee that day in January 2018 and couldn’t respond to the president’s attack, was appealing to his boss: “The bureau can’t let this stand,” he pleaded.

“I’m sorry, Pete,” came the response. “We’re not going to say anything.”

Nearly three years later, Strzok — who led the FBI’s Russia investigation, dubbed Crossfire Hurricane, until he was removed over several anti-Trump texts he’d sent during the election amid an affair with a colleague — is finally able to speak publicly and on his terms for the first time since he joined the FBI more than two decades ago.

And he has a lot to say.

Strzok’s new book, obtained by POLITICO ahead of its release next week, recaps the full arc of Crossfire Hurricane from the perspective of an enterprising counterintelligence expert who perceived Donald Trump and his campaign team not necessarily as criminals but as compromised by a foreign adversary. And he worries that there’s still much we don’t know, because the bureau was never able to do the kind of deep dive into Trump’s business records he wanted.

Long suspected Trump used both on shore as well as off shore shell Companies in his efforts to disguise whom his business partners really were. Like Any Mobster,his Account is the key to the unraveling of his so called holdings. Love to be a fly on the wall when the Forensic Accounts tear this shit bag apart.

I put the question mark there because I don't/can't know for sure, but it applies here and always

Need answer to why the bureau was never able to do the kind of deep dive into Trump’s business records the FBI’s counter-espionage team wanted for natsec.

More Russia. Less hoaxer.
