Jeff Sessions: Peter Strzok No Longer Has Security Clearance
[Breitbart] Disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok no longer possesses his security clearance, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Thursday.

"Mr. Strzok ‐ as I understand ‐ has lost his security clearance," the country’s top law enforcement officer told radio host Howie Carr.

The admission follows multiple reports stating the former FBI Deputy Head of Counterintelligence was escorted from the bureau’s headquarters on Friday as part of an internal disciplinary measure.

Aitan Goelman, an attorney for the former FBI investigator, told the Washington Post Sunday that his client intends to appear before the House Judiciary Committee, along with other Congressional committees, without immunity or invoking the Fifth Amendment.

The Justice Department watchdog report released last week concluded Strzok had shown "bias," during the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email use.
There is likely more to this story (loss of security access) than 'bias'.... but excellent! Now what about Page, Comey, McCabe, Clinton, Abaden, FBI agents who accepted 'gifts' and all the others ?

Lingering question; I know it sounds crazy, but any chance a few of Strzok's cohorts may still be employed on the Robert Mueller investigative team? Oh wait....

#2 So, what I'm reading is his "security clearance" has been yanked but he has not been "fired." Passing strange for sure.

#5 Guessing he might have turned state's evidence. If I were him, I'd be aggressive in watching my six. Arkancide is an unpleasant event.

Given that this status is embarrassing and awkward for him and the DOJ, one has to wonder if there's an investigatory or prosecution advantage to having him remain employed. Avoid the 5th amendment protection?

No expose book deals for employees.

#9 Harry Dexter White probably still has a security clearance.

At this rate, the Swamp should be drained circa 100,000 AD.

A field-trip. An alien teacher:
"This hill was a swamp --
See those prints where they'd stomp? --
Oh, and here comes the very same creature!"
