Washington Free Beacon senior writer Elizabeth Harrington said Monday that FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page would have been better off working for George Soros or MSNBC.
"Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Andrew Wiseman, all of these agents would have been better off working for George Soros or MSNBC rather than the upper echelons of the FBI running both investigations with the amount of bias they had," Harrington said.
Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified Monday and Tuesday about his recent report about the conduct of the FBI in regards to the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
The IG's report also looked at counterintelligence officer Strzok and Page, who were romantically involved. The two FBI agents sent anti-Trump texts cheering then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and bashing Trump as an idiot, and they have been accused by Republicans of taking politically motivated action. The IG report concluded that the agents' political bias directly affected investigative actions.
"I think two days of hearings might not be enough to get through what was a 500-page report that's not just telling that Peter Strzok said 'we'll stop Trump.' That is damning in and of itself," Harrington said. "But we also have agents crying at their desk because Hillary Clinton lost. We also have agents admitting Hillary Clinton's IT guy, the one who deleted all the emails while Congress was seeking them, he lied his butt off to the FBI, which according to James Comey is a very serious offense and what did the FBI do? They didn't charge him. They gave him immunity."
Democratic operative Brad Woodhouse dismissed Strzok's bias affecting the Russia investigation because Special Counsel Robert Mueller pulled Strzok off the investigation. Harrington interjected that Mueller should have looked into Strzok before putting him on the investigation.
