We thought it would be interesting to layout all the levers that Russia could have pulled to turn agent Strzok. We will also display the documents and facts that cast him as a possible enemy agent.
Fact: Washington D.C. and London have the greatest concentrations of enemy agents in the world.
Strzok was having an affair with an FBI lawyer, Lisa Page, both of whom were married at the time. It is likely that they used hotels rooms. It is also likely that Russian agents monitor who comes and goes from FBI headquarters. Agent Strzok was a high-value target because he was the best counterintelligence officer that the FBI had and he had exposed Russian agents which had led to their arrest or expulsion.
Agent Strzok did take his smartphones into Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (pronounced “skiff”), a U.S. Department of Defense term for a secure room. It can be a secure room or data center that guards against electronic surveillance and suppresses data leakage of sensitive security and military information. SCIFs are used to deny unauthorized personnel, such as foreign intelligence services or corporate spies, the opportunity for undetected entry into facilities for the exploitation of sensitive activities.
This is a picture of a mobile SCIF. A SCIF is often a permanent room in a government building.
When we found this text message, we reported the violation to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and to President Trump. Shortly thereafter, Strzok was walked out of FBI headquarters, the Hoover building.
Listen to this CIA security official’s testimony on SCIFs.
There is another lever that Russian agents could have pulled. View these text messages exchanges between Strzok and Lisa Page. It appears that Strzok and Page have the intent to give information to Matt Apuzzo covertly.
Agent Strzok went to London in connection with the surveillance operation, Crossfire-Hurricane, which was launched against candidate Donald Trump and his campaign members. Christopher Steele was in London. Steele had been in contact with Russian officials-spies in London for the acquisition of information on Donald Trump. Who is to say that agent Strzok did not pass top secret files from his phone which he took into SCIFs to Steele or Steele’s Russian contacts in London?
The Inspector General reviewed Strzok’s text messages. The Inspector General was concerned over the bias in Strzok’s text messages but found no evidence that Strzok acted on his bias in his FBI duties.
It is possible that Strzok was fired because he had been compromised by Russian agents. The FBI, seeing that the damage had been done, and not wanting to see the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s image further damaged, the call was made to only fire Peter Strzok with the promise if he ever breathed a word things would get ugly for him.
This could be true or not, the point of this article is that anyone can be made out to be an enemy agent. In Peter Strzok’s case, he gave us probable cause to do so.
