Team guy. and this isnd what he did when he was in the bureau. he investigated street gangs in los angeles like the bloods and the crips. he investigated mexican drug cartels and a group called hells angels. not "charlies angels," hells angels. i dont think a guy who has done that for his entire career in law enforcement is going to be intimidated by a tweet or two from anybody, and thats who made the decision to fire strzok. >>ir thats interesting. these are a actually found on his government i...

Tweets that president trump directed petes way. >> one of the other serious allegations in your lawsuit is that the texts which mr. strzok expressed his political opinions about president trump but also criticizing people like bernie sanders and eric holder and other people in politics, those texts were improperly and perhaps illegally made public. do you know who in the justice department or who in the fbi chose to release those materials to the press either unofficially or with what was ultima...

Despite the presidents best efforts to keep that stuff secret. and now separate and apart from that in a totally separate sphere, the acting fbi director and the top counter russian intelligence officer who played a role in the russia investigation within two days of each other, they have both gone to court signaling that they are going to get the story told of what happened to them, of how the president came after them and why. its all happening all at once. all systems go. joining us now is go...

Similarly described pattern of behavior by the president that theyre not saying this, but it is my analysis that that sort of behavior by the president could very well find its way into its own article or articles of impeachment if in fact the house draws up such articles and if these allegations are substantiated by these cases brought by mccabe and strzok in court. listen to this from peter strzoks complaint. quote, the decision to fire special agent strzok was the result of unrelenting pressu...

Intended to be private in violation of the privacy act. the fbi fired strzok because of his protected political speech and violation of rights under the constitution. the trump administration consistently tolerated and even encouraged partisan political speech by federal employees as long as this speech praises president trump and attacks his political adversaries. for example, president trump rejected the recommendation of the office of special counsel that advisor kellyanne conway be removed f...

Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign or those in the new york field office of the fbi who leaked negative information about secretary clinton to the trump campaign in the weeks before the election. this viewpoint discrimination is part of a broader campaign against the very principle of free speech underlying the first amendment initiated and led by a president who has repeatedly attacked the press as the enemy of the people, urged censorship of opinions which he deems insufficiently fl...

Just fired agent strzok. total fraud. should be properly redone. of course he lacks a hyphen between just and fire there makes it seem like he just fired which i dont think hes saying. how do those statements play going forward? >> i dont think the president influenced the decision of leaders in the fbi who made is this very tough call. what the president is doing whether he knows it or not is providing fodder for peter s trtstr zro to say, look, how could i been expected to get a fair trial her...

Defense attorney can get fbi people in front of a jury to say i think this was a wrong decision, youre going, i suspect, have a long time finding people like me or josh to stand in front of a jury to say i think they made a mistake. it will be tough. >> i have heard people say that one of the things they are concerned about is that agents, anyone, has the right to express their political beliefs in a private way, a. and b, the fact that this person that peter struck has been under attack so publ...

I think nobody should suggest here that the deputy director made this decision in order to politically retaliate against strzok. when you look at the landscape here, the criticism coming from the administration, the criticism coming from congress, i do think the deputy director may have decided that the best thing to protect the fbi from future political attacks was to fire strzok. even though that isnt political retaliation in a direct sense, it is using political considerations to decide the p...

Strzok relies, "no, no, hes not, well stop it." >> at no time in any of these texts did those personal beliefs ever enter into the realm of any action i took. >> reporter: a report from the justice department inspector general found strzok did show unprofessional bias in those texts, but found no evidence he acted upon it. today, his attorney said an fbi internal review recommended a 60-day suspension and a demotion. instead, strzok was fired. the second top fbi official to be ousted after comin...
