(Reuters)Fresh ammunition came this weekend, when it was revealed that Peter Strzok, the top FBI agent on Mueller’s team, had been removed over politically charged texts he’d exchanged with another former member of the Mueller team, senior FBI lawyer Lisa Page. Officials have said Page left the Mueller team two weeks earlier for unrelated reasons. On Wednesday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) signed letters to the Justice Department and FBI demanding more information about Strzok’s communications. Fitton said the Justice Department and FBI “covered up’’ the Strzok issue for months. Tillis offered a mixed review of the Mueller probe.
