The FBI agent removed from the special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election lambasted then-presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Attorney General Eric Holder in texts to an FBI lawyer, as well as his previously reported negative remarks about President Trump.
Found in the 375 text messages given to Congress by the Justice Department, senior counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok reportedly called supporters of Sanders “idiots,” as reported Thursday by Wall Street Journal.
Strzok and attorney Lisa Page also panned Holder, who would have once been their boss at the Justice Department.
During Holder’s speech at the Democratic National Convention, Strzok texted, “Oh God, Holder! Turn it off turn if off!!!”
Republicans have seized on text messages from Strzok insulting Trump as evidence of political bias in the special counsel probe, from which he has been removed, as well as the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of State.
