The FBI fires Peter Strzok

  It might have come months late but it is now being reported that last Friday the FBI fired never-Trumper Peter Strzok. Here is more:

FBI official Peter Strzok, who played a lead role in both the Russian meddling and Hillary Clinton email probes but became a political lightning rod after the revelation of anti-Trump text messages, has been fired.

Strzok attorney Aitan Goelman said in a statement Monday that his client, a 21-year FBI veteran, was fired Friday afternoon, claiming this was a departure from standard practice and politically motivated. Goelman said bureau Deputy Director David Bowdich “overruled” the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility to remove him. 

  Peter Strzok’s lawyer claimed this was a “departure from standard practice” and “politically motivated” but you know what else falls into those same two categories? Peter Strzok’s actions in trying to hatch a plan to stop Donald Trump from becoming President and then being appointed to an investigation which is trying to take the President down, that’s what.

  Aitan Goelman went on to say all Americans should be deeply troubled by Peter Strzok’s firing but again I point to his actions while with the FBI that I find deeply troubling and Mark Meadows agrees:

“Peter Strzok was fired from the FBI because of what his own written words plainly showed: he was willing to use his official FBI position to try and stop President Trump from getting elected. He tarnished the FBI’s sterling reputation and severely damaged public trust in an institution where trust is paramount. His conduct should deeply concern every American,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., said in a statement to Fox News. 

My only gripe is that this should have happened months ago.
