Discussion: Texts Show FBI Agent Removed From Mueller's Team Called Trump An 'Idiot'

Nothing illegal there. Prosecutors investigate crimes, not anti-*Trump emails.

So? He was right.

If calling Trump an idiot in private conversation disqualifies you for whatever your current government job is I’d posit about half the Cabinet will need to resign.

And almost every federal employee in DC.

A perceptive FBI agent - shouldn’t be a problem with that. And Trump’s own Secretary of State called him a fucking moron 6 months into the presidency. But, anyone in any position these days needs to keep opinions verbal with no recording if they can come back to bite you.

Absolutely. Despite the fact that I agree with Strzok, this was a stupid move on his part. Mueller can’t have anything to do with people voicing opinions like this in the investigation.

So when is Tillerson going to be investigated?

He was just repeating what Tillerson said.
No biggie

Uh huh. So get to the reason he was fired, not the part about him stating the obvious.

So this “slur” was made during the campaign, not during the investigation?

Seems more than a little overcautious, removing this guy for such a minor infrraction, it is hard to even call it that.

But with Republicans in control, the “good guys” are forced to take care not to give the creeps some sort of toehold of self-righteous indignation to rally round.

We’ve seen how Nunes and the rest of the recalcitrant R’s are going after Mueller, they really don’t NEED an excuse, they can conjure up charges from phantom Monica to Ben Ghazi fiction, even as their own pockets get lined with Russian money.

The Arc of Justice is littered with false charges the Republicans have foisted on us.

Trump’s own Secretary of State called him an idiot. Maybe we should have a Congressional investigation into the fact that the POTUS is an idiot.

But was it in the investigation? Weren’t these comments made during the campaign? That needs to be clarified, seems like every agent but the Russian moles could have something like this in their emails, especially after Trump trashed the intelligence agencies.

This is Republican authoritarianism’s ugly head, reared up like a cobra, deflecting their own guilt and projecting their abject failure onto others.

Its what they DO.

Again and again.

Cover their own fat red asses by pointing fingers at anything blue that moves.

except Trump’s family can’t resign, I’d wager they’ve said similar things, probably much worse… they KNOW him.

I predict Trump engineers Mueller’s firing. When the flames are licking at your feet and you have access to a fire extinguisher why would you leap from the 10th floor of the building to escape? Or worse, just stand there and get consumed by the fire?

Trump’s an idiot; a fucking moron according to Tillerson. Moore is a racist pedophile. Zebras have stripes, leopards have spots.

Trump’s idiocy is an objective truth. If an FBI agent didn’t consider Trump an idiot, one would have to question his professionalism and judgment.

He’s simply agreeing with most Americans there:
