President Donald Trump celebrated the news that FBI lawyer Lisa Page had resigned in the wake of her public affair with FBI agent Peter Strzok and the revelation of the couple’s anti-Trump text messages.
“Lisa Page, who may hold the record for the most Emails in the shortest period of time (to her Lover, Peter S), and attorney Baker, are out at the FBI as part of the Probers getting caught?” President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter on Monday. “Why is Peter S still there?”
Strzok and Page were both removed from the Special Counsel Russia investigation led by Robert Mueller after questions were raised about their bias against the president.
Page resigned from the FBI entirely on Friday, as well as FBI General Counsel James Baker. They were both advisers to former FBI Director James Comey.
Strzok remains at the FBI as he was reassigned to the agency’s human resources department in 2017.
Trump continues to attack the Special Counsel investigation led by Mueller, describing it as a “witch hunt” led by “angry Democrats.”
“Is this Phony Witch Hunt going to go on even longer so it wrongfully impacts the Mid-Term Elections, which is what the Democrats always intended? ” he asked. “Republicans better get tough and smart before it is too late!”
