Okay so yesterday there was a lot of fallout from all of the furor surrounding Mike Flynn, the former national security advisor who pled guilty to lying to the FBI. And we talked about yesterday whether this entire thing, this entire Mueller investigation, is going to turn out to show nothing with regard to collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, but could ensnare a bunch of Trump officials who are too naive to know that they weren't actually committing a crime, and so lied to the FBI. So you could have a series of situations in which people like Mike Flynn or Jared Kushner are caught up in lying to the FBI. No indication Kushner's done that yet, but Flynn already has pled guilty. And then you could have a bunch of talk about, did President Trump encourage them to lie to the FBI, is that obstruction of justice, and if so does that mean that Trump has to be impeached. So we could get a scandal about a scandal about a non-scandal. No underlying bad act. People lied to the FBI because they're dumb or because they're incompetent. And then it turns out that they were told to lie to the FBI by people who are also dumb slash incompetent or just didn't know what they were doing, right? All of that is a possibility and a very, a very significant possibility. And then we find out an actual bombshell, this is late yesterday evening East Coast time, in actual bombshell drops. And that is that there is an agent named Peter Stroke. I think that's how it's pronounced. S-R-Z-O-K, Peter Strzik, Strock, stroke. Okay, so I will call him Peter Stroke for purposes of this show. In any case, Peter Stroke was demoted this summer. Why? Because it turns out that he'd send an anti-Trump text to his mistress. Why does that matter that a random FBI agent working with Robert Mueller was sending anti-Trump text messages to his mistress? Well, it gives you a window into the mind of this

particular FBI agent. Well, why does that matter? Why is this FBI agent very important?

3:32.0

Let me explain to you who this FBI agent is. This FBI agent was in charge of the Hillary
