    Yes, this was probably the right call, but it also, from what the Times has in the story, is not something dramatic ...https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/937000466818457600 …

        In summer 2017, Mueller (who started mid-May 2017) removed an agent from the investigation for texts sent in fall 2016 — that, in the absence of more information, could be very similar to things everyone was saying about Trump publicly during the debates.

        Ah, looks like the Times was chasing this Post reporting, which has much more detail:https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/two-senior-fbi-officials-on-clinton-trump-probes-exchanged-politically-charged-texts-disparaging-trump/2017/12/02/9846421c-d707-11e7-a986-d0a9770d9a3e_story.html …

        There was an affair, and the two agents involved were texting about the news of the day with “anti-Trump sentiments.” Sounds like Mueller made the right call.

        The Times, always happy to supply Team Trump with ammunition, breathlessly reports it as a shocking development

        Don't forget the agent hasn't been part of the investigation since the summer.. but Fox News isn't going to care

        Tell that to SHS.... "The REAL news is clear... This is a partisan witch hunt staffed with anti-trump activists, and even then they've come up with nothing! So much so, that ABC have to make up stories to make it look worse and and try to prevent the MAGA agenda the people want"

        What ABC did really doesn’t change anything because we still don’t know what Mueller’s got, but we do know Flynn lied.
