"Im sorry to bother you. But it turns out Trump just accused me of treason.
Peter Strzok, who was still an FBI employee that day in January 2018 and couldnt respond to the presidents attack, was appealing to his boss: The bureau cant let this stand, he pleaded.
Im sorry, Pete, came the response. Were not going to say anything.
Nearly three years later, Strzok who led the FBIs Russia investigation, dubbed Crossfire Hurricane, until he was removed over several anti-Trump texts hed sent during the election amid an affair with a colleague is finally able to speak publicly and on his terms for the first time since he joined the FBI more than two decades ago.
And he has a lot to say.
Strzoks new book, obtained by POLITICO ahead of its release next week, recaps the full arc of Crossfire Hurricane from the perspective of an enterprising counterintelligence expert who perceived Donald Trump and his campaign team not necessarily as criminals but as compromised by a foreign adversary. And he worries that theres still much we dont know, because the bureau was never able to do the kind of deep dive into Trumps business records he wanted.

(34,661 posts)1. Should be a good read.
Long suspected Trump used both on shore as well as off shore shell Companies in his efforts to disguise whom his business partners really were. Like Any Mobster,his Account is the key to the unraveling of his so called holdings. Love to be a fly on the wall when the Forensic Accounts tear this shit bag apart.

Need answer to why the bureau was never able to do the kind of deep dive into Trumps business records the FBIs counter-espionage team wanted for natsec.
