Two FBI agents assigned to the investigation into alleged
collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia exchanged text messages
referring to the future president as an “idiot,” according to copies of
messages turned over to Congress by the Justice Department, reported Politico. Special Counsel Robert Mueller removed agent Peter Strzok from the
probe “immediately” after learning of the texts in late July, the department
said. The other agent, Lisa Page, had ended her assignment to Mueller’s office.
After Page commented on a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker, Strzok
replied, “He’s an idiot like Trump. Figure they cancel each other out.”
The messages, which turned up during a Justice Department
inspector general investigation into political influence on investigative
decisions during the campaign, are fueling Republican calls for a second
special counsel to investigate Mueller’s operation.
