    I have one question for ya.... Do you know what Pete Strzok's actual job title at the FBI was when Crossfire Hurricane was started and he became one of the primary investigators?? I imagine you've forgotten after all these years...

    You lefties are funny. He lied to his own agency and literally snuck information to reporters during an active investigation. It really doesn't get more damning, not only was the idiot dead wrong per his bosses, he's put people in jail for lying to the same people he lied to. I swear the left sure likes for crimes to be overlooked...

    You don't know why he was fired? You don't know what the OIG found a key a part I quoted above. Durham is investigating the entire Russia collusion scheme which involves McCabe and others at the FBI.

    Who did he almost catch and for what specific crime?

    The Leftists care about power and control, actually following the law is not in their make up. Screw the law when you have the power and control, that's who they are.

    McCabe's firing - 24 hours before his retirement - was a political payback from Trump.

    The court just confirmed that.

    And you'll never be able to explain why the DOJ never prosecuted him.

    Justice was served, end of story.

    Biden has a long way to go to clean up all the crap Trump left behind.

    "was fired in March 2018 after the Justice Department’s inspector general concluded he had authorized the release of information to a newspaper reporter and then misled internal investigators about his role in the leak. "

    Why should he get his pension back? He leaked information he knew was phony to the press in order to affect the election and then lied to federal investigators about it. Don't you think he should be charged with a crime?

    Take it up with your reps, he's getting his full, well earned, pension and should also be able to sue the bejesus out of Trump for defamation.

    Barr wanted a special prosecutor not the DOJ to do so and there is much more to it than just McCabe. That investigation is ongoing. Why not wait until after that is completed before reinstating this. And yes the President took the report of the OIG and saw the wrongdoing and determined he should be fired and should not receive that pension from the government for the acts he committed. If the investigation confirms so be it, if it says otherwise then you can reinstate his pension. But the fact is the evidence is clear he committed felonies in order to affect the outcome of the election, are you happy with that?

    You ask questions when all the answers are in the court's judgment.

    And you'll also find out why the DOJ never filed criminal charges against him.

    This isn't the court it's the Biden DOJ. There is a Special Prosecutor investigating who was assigned by Barr. That investigation is ongoing. Why didn't the Biden DOJ await until that investigation is over and why is it ignoring the findings of the OIG?

    He participated in an attempt to change the outcome of an election, with phone information bought and paid for my the Clinton campaign, using his position at the FBI to do so LEAKED that investigative information to the Press so they could plaster the phony story through out the media and then lied about it to investigators.

    Why should he get another dime from the taxpayers? Why do you support such unethical and criminal behavior by FBI officials.

    Whatever his job title, he and they failed at it. We would later learn in dispositions in REAL TIME in 2017 they were aware they didn't have a basis for their investigation(as it turns out, pointing to 'various connections' does not make for a good investigation. At that point, you don't even know what you're investigating. That's why they then laughably turned to 'obstruction of justice' to at least keep the farce going.)

    When they learned in 2017 that the basis of the information was false, it should have ended there(as we know, it didn't). Having learned that later, it only meant one thing: They lied to Congress in testimony.

    But as @Bluesguy and others pointed out, it's okay for the Stasi police(FBI) to lie to Congress. We just can't lie to Congress or the FBI. Wanna know what that makes us? Second class citizens compared to the FBI.

    So sad... Pete Strzok's job at the FBI was deputy assistant director of counterintelligence, the department tasked with determining how Americans are compromised by working with foreigners against American interests.

    I'd say he freaking nailed his part of the job...

    Did he though? You've got to look at the results, and not what you personally think of them: Maybe all of the Democratic believers in the world believed that Trump colluded or was compromised by the Russians, etc but that didn't materialize. That's the end result, right there. We invested man hours looking for peewee tapes and all matters of ridiculous utter farces(from a guy proven to have lied in British courts.) for absolutely nothing.

    While you'd hope that the farce of the investigation would lead to massive overhaul, the incompetence isn't by accident, it is clearly by design.

    He was fired for political reasons and the discovery phase of the lawsuit found evidence of this. This is disheartening some people think Trump can fire whomever he wants and treat him like a King.

    Nobody spent 20 seconds looking for pee pee tapes... They looked into how men brought on to the campaign were as compromised at the candidate himself, at least the 2 more important ones anyway.... The other 2 were complete goofuses, but even those can be dangerous...

    What's know is documented... What's unknown will come out someday, and you'll gag at your own lack of comprehension about how bad it was....

    No one was compromised, one dude(Manafort) basically snuck his way onto the campaign and took advantage of the campaign for HIS own nefarious purposes. They couldn't even link those two together in the end. The thing was/is a joke. It's the same as 9/11 truthers. I want the four years back, all of that chaos was to feed the imagination of democrats and the democratic national committee.

    The problem with that happening is: even if the media, big tech, and Dems control the narrative in the US, they cannot control the actions of all 200 or so countries, or the myriad nonstate actors within them. I imagine that getting the world sick is not all that one of those dictatorships is capable of. I can't believe you included Fauci and Dascek.
