So fairly early on in an investigation that started mid-May with Mr. Strzok joining the team only in mid-July. So he worked about a month before being removed. Conservative sites are framing the issue like it just happened but that is not the case.

Because of his previous ties to the Clinton investigation, some were taken by surprise when it was announced July 13 that Strzok was joining the team of over 25 people, including FBI employees and support staff, in Mueller’s exclusive probe.
