FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok was escorted from the building amid an internal review of his conduct, his lawyer confirmed Tuesday.
Strzok, who had a central role in the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while serving as secretary of State, was reportedly escorted from the FBI building on Friday amid an internal review of his conduct.
"Pete has steadfastly played by the rules and respected the process, and yet he continues to be the target of unfounded personal attacks, political games and inappropriate information leaks," his attorney Aitan Goelman said in a statement.
The FBI agent became the subject of ire among President Trump and conservatives after it was discovered that he had exchanged private text messages with former FBI lawyer Lisa Page that disparaged Trump and other political figures.

Strzok is not among those. I think he was trying to do a proper job but was rather stupid about letting his pro-Hillary feeling show on record (texts) between him and his lover.

This alone tells me how much absolute bullshit this entire process has been as an exercise in mollifying conservative Republican propaganda targeting all things "Clinton."
EVERYBODY does what Hillary did! It's 'Standard Operating Procedure.'
A presidential campaign conspiring with foreign agents to influence the outcome of the election? Now, that MATTERS!
