Judicial Watch today released 14 pages of FBI documents concerning the assignment of former FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's operation, showing that Strzok insisted on retaining his FBI security clearance before moving to the Mueller team and confirming that Strzok played a pivotal role in the flawed Hillary Clinton email investigation.
The records were received in response to a December 2017 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit that was filed after the FBI failed to respond to an August 17, 2017, FOIA request in the counterintelligence division, including his security clearance, after his reassignment to the special counsel's office.
In response, FBI assistant director of the Counterintelligence Division William Priestap assures Strzok he will remain free to act just as he did while a deputy assistant director of the counterintelligence division and, further, that he will remain on the FBI's books as a "Floating DAD:".
In answer to your initial question, while assigned to the Special Counsel's office, you will retain your CD DAD authorities, to include declassification authority.
Assuming the 7th floor approves, you will remain on CD's books as a fourth DAD. When you move on from your DAD position, your DAD slot will revert back to HRD. "These new emails show anti-Trump FBI official Peter Strzok's 'assignment' gave the Mueller Special Counsel operation special authorities to target President Trump," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
"We know Strzok can't be trusted and the Special Counsel should tell us if Strzok abused his special authorities to target President Trump."
Strzok was reportedly removed from the Mueller investigative team in August 2017 and reassigned to a human resources position after it was discovered that he and another FBI lawyer, Lisa Page exchanged text messages during the Clinton investigation and campaign season that raise serious about his anti-Trump/pro-Clinton bias.
