Yeah. That's what I said. Sensitive.

Strzok was also discussed in the Classified Appendix:

Based on the date of this exchange, Page told the OIG that the discovery of classified information relating to Lynch likely prompted her discussion with Strzok, but that she did not recall the idea of appointing Fitzgerald to be the special counsel for the Midyear investigation being discussed with FBI leadership. After reviewing a draft of the report, Page stated that she and Strzok had discussed consulting Fitzgerald about the classified information relating to Lynch, not about serving as a special counsel. Strzok said that he did not recall what led to this discussion, but he speculated that it may have been motivated by concerns about the information discussed in the classified appendix to this report. Strzok told the OIG that discussions about a special counsel reflected a genuine concern about the Department’s ability to credibly close the investigation, denying that the idea was intended to get the Department to move more quickly on the Mills and Samuelson laptops.

Page 210

Since the Classified Appendix also includes discussion of classified information that the IG found on classified systems, per previous posts, there could be additional conversations between the subjects discussed in the appendix.

Fine. The appendices contain sensitive material which provides supporting details for the public part of the report. We know that. That what appendices are for.

Yet, for some reason, you think they also contain a recommendation for a criminal investigation.

a reply to: Phage

I said possibly
The additional classified information, if anything like the public information, is not good for Strzok.

a reply to: BlueAjah

The public information we already knew. There is no indication that the IG report implies that Strzok was anything but strongly opposed to a Trump presidency. We knew that.

I Hope he is Strzok Down..........

No, the OIG suggests the possibility of more than that:

That was my first reaction to the report and it may turn out to be so. However, while it's true that Horowitz kicked the can down the road, on closer inspection I think he might have provided sufficient information for any prosecutor willing to do the right thing. Hopefully that's Huber.

It's going to have to be a team effort against the entrenched corruption and Horowitz can only do so much anyways. I don't think he's forgotten how the last admin tied his hands and usurped--for awhile--his rightful duty and powers.

Just maybe he slyly, but thoroughly, did his part.

Heh. Right. No one thought Strozk's actions may not have been free of bias. Especially here on ATS.

Trouble is, and I think that's the point being made in the report, it's hard to prove that a decision was based on bias. You can suspect it, sure. But beyond that? Just like it's hard to prove that someone doesn't remember something. You just know that they remember, but we don't have brain probes. Yet.

It Always seems to be a question of Skirting the Law , and not paying the Consequences for Breaking it if you are Employed by the Federal Government . A Double Standard that Must be eradicated once and for all for the Good of our Democratic Republic IMO .

Pure speculation but surely he has some proof of his innocence or has some major bombshell proof.

What's he charged with?

He has been referred to Horowitz for investigation, specific charges pending depending on the investigation findings.
He was head of counterintelligence. That is a sub director level position, not in the employee classes of special agents. This is a category equivalent to Career Senior Executive Service (SES) employees that the FBI, CIA, DOJ, State Dept, etc have. The Hatch Act restricts political activity of these Federal employees,

These employees are largely limited to exercising the most basic rights of civic participation, such as voting, making political contributions, and expressing individual opinions.

So expressing a political opinion to his lover is alright, but acting upon it using the power of his office is not.

He has been referred to Horowitz for investigation,

Cool. That's what I was asking.

Can you provide a link?

Of course he's willing to testify. He has done nothing wrong beyond venting in emails to a like minded colleague. Why isn't Trump as eager to testify without conditions?

So, in what way did he prevent Trump from being elected?

The Heart Attacks are in the redacted sections.

Get Ready.

Dwell on what is contained in the omitted parts.

Appendixes are generally where sources and things are detailed.

Xuenchen posted this elsewhere a bit ago and Blue Ajah referenced it. Doesn't necessarily mean much as far as Strzok and any charges he might be facing, but does seem like someone pretty high up the ladder might be.

Let me spell it out for them. The appendix contains emails (and possibly phone recordings) intercepted (possibly by a foreign, allied intelligence agency) from Russian sources. They are classified because, unless redacted into Swiss cheese, they would reveal means and methods, thus jeopardizing important assets. Not the first time House Republicans have put short term political points ahead of national security.
