top FBI investigator unexpectedly stepped away from special counsel

>Strzok headed the FBI's counterespionage division last year and was one of the top officials overseeing the criminal investigation into whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information while she was secretary of state. He had previously worked on some of the "most secretive investigations in recent years involving Russian and Chinese espionage," according to the New York Times.

>Rangappa noted that the DOJ's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) opened an investigation in January into the FBI's handling of the email probe, including former FBI Director James Comey's decision to announce a new inquiry into her email server 11 days before the election. It is not clear whether Strzok, who supervised elements of the email probe, was caught up in the OIG investigation.

>The OIG declined to comment. But their website lists the probe as ongoing.

>Strzok's departure also came one week after The Washington Post reported that Mueller had obtained a search warrant to raid the home of President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. The Post report cited "people familiar with the search," prompting questions about whether anyone on Mueller's team had leaked the existence of the search warrant to the Post.

>Mueller has assembled two-dozen investigators and lawyers to help him examine Russia's election interference and whether Trump's campaign colluded with Moscow to undermine Clinton. The former FBI director impaneled a grand jury in late July that quickly issued subpoenas related to the June 2016 meeting between Trump's eldest son and a Russian lawyer with connections to the Kremlin.

>Manafort and Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, also attended the meeting.

The media has moved on to the alt left vs alt right movement, so there's no longer a need to push the Russian narrative.

People were getting burn out from it and the alt left can't get anything more out of it.

We'll probably hear about it being called off in a few months. They'll try to save it as a pocket ace in case the alt left riots don't take

>alt left
literally just people protesting a neo-nazi rally, for which removal of a statue became an excuse to finally meet up IRL and march around playing hitler youth.
that was literally their only platform. Alt-left in this case means everyone that isn't a neo-nazi, WN, WS, neo-confederate, traditionalist worker etc etc

When you got people with guns marching on you're streets with guns, yelling blood and soil, -bunch of dumb shit- and people show up bringing clubs to a gun fight. And then you have not media media Fox news saying it's both sides. It's stupid to highest level and I'm glad people are getting sick enough to confront them.
