Daily Caller: The FBI agent who was fired from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation team for sending anti-Donald Trump text messages conducted the interviews with two Hillary Clinton aides accused of giving false statements about what they knew of the former secretary of state’s private email server.
Neither of the Clinton associates, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, faced legal consequences for their misleading statements, which they made in interviews last year with former FBI section chief Peter Strzok.
But another Strzok interview subject was not so lucky.
Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser, pleaded guilty last week to lying during an interview he gave on Jan. 24 to Strzok and another FBI agent. Circa journalist Sara Carter reported on Monday that Strzok took part in that interview with the retired lieutenant general.
At the time, Strzok was the FBI’s top investigator on the fledgling investigation into Russian interference in the presidential campaign. He was appointed to supervise that effort at the end of July 2016, just weeks after the conclusion of the Clinton email probe. CNN reported on Monday that as the FBI’s No. 2 counterintelligence official, Strzok signed the documents that officially opened the collusion inquiry.
The starkly different outcomes from Strzok’s interviews — a felony charge against Flynn and a free pass to Mills and Abedin — are sure to raise questions from Republicans about double-standards in the FBI’s two most prominent political investigations. FBI Director Christopher Wray will likely be pressed on the Strzok scandal on Thursday when he attends an oversight hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.
Strzok was also a prominent part of the Clinton investigation, so much so that he conducted all of the most significant interviews in the case. read more
It is beginning to unravel.
The Keystone Cops don’t shoot themselves in the foot this bad.
Enough with the parlor games. Trump should march over Sodom, DC with Elephants and Armies and blow open the entire swamp of indecency and duplicitous “law”.
The planet is doing yet another circle around the Sun with Hillary and the other demons eating gourmet meals and celebrating their dominion. Screw that.
Laws??? They’re for little people. Not important elitists.
When you are a partisan hack (Mills and Abedin) from the same Clinton mob as the FBI political hack investigator things go better in the short run and the long run.
I’m sure Mills and Abedin were just “careless” in their choice of words. No harm, no foul.
Yet another reason why the Special Counsel should pack up and leave town.
Doesn’t matter! Joe and Mika told us today the “Trump and his family are going to jail for the rest of their lives.”
That Josh Earnest (could someone be more misnamed?!) guy was there too, as smug as ever! 😡
“The starkly different outcomes from Strzok’s interviews — are sure to raise questions from Republicans ”
Boy, that’s an overly optimistic statement.
We’ve already seen enough to draw conclusions. 86 “Mueller’s folly”.

Hang ’em
Hang em high
Right there is all the proof needed to charge Strzok with Obstruction of Justice. Altering reports, letting faulty testimony slide to protect Hillary.
Oops, sorry forgot he is a Dem. No charges
The difference is that Flynn lied, while Mills and Abedin said nothing. And were allowed to remain silent, but that’s not the point (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).
It must have been that they were determined to have no intent to lie.
As O’Baja’s spiritual advisor once crowed: “America’s chickens are coming home to roost.”
It wasn’t supposed to happen this way, Clinton was destined to be president, everybody important said so.
Maybe the lovely Cheryl Mills was trading sexual favors in exchange for leniency? Excuse me, I’m suddenly feeling a little nauseous.
Yeah … nauseous …
izlamo delenda est …

No worries! Donna Brazile hasn’t started her book tour, yet. I’m sure she can whip something up.
Of course, Flynn will get prison time, but Huma and Mills, being Hillary cronies, will not be charged. Ever.
Forget not the President whom made both Comey and Mueller FBI Director!
As Ted said 2 years go he is , “… a NY values Republican!”!
