Ex-Overstock CEO Byrne Reveals FBI's Peter Strzok Manipulated Him For 'Political Espionage'

Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne claimed in a bombshell interview with Fox Business that he received "Fishy" orders from former FBI official Peter Strzok.

The 56-year-old Byrne also told Fox's Martha MacCallum "I was given some fishy orders and I carried them out in 2015-2016, thinking I was conducting law enforcement," adding "I didn't know who sent the orders, but I did them. Last summer, watching television and some congressional hearings, I figured out where these orders came from. They came from a guy named Peter Strzok."

Byrne told CNN that the FBI directed him to pursue a romantic relationship with accused Russian spy Maria Butina.

"They came back to me and said, 'Boy, what a mistake we made. Russia, you're right highest national priority," said Byrne.

"They said, 'We want to be clear - this never happens in the United States," Byrne added.

Byrne resigned as Overstock CEO on Thursday effective immediately, after he disclosed his entanglements with the "Deep State."

"While I believe that I did what was necessary for the good of the country, for the good of the firm, I am in the sad position of having to sever ties with Overstock," Byrne wrote in a lengthy 1,600-word letter.
