Peter Strzok Has a Warning About Russia — and Trump

September 8, 2020 · 4:36 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Garrett Graff has an excellent review of Peter Strzok’s new book, Compromised.

“I’ve spent a dozen years covering the FBI, written multiple books about the bureau and dozens of magazine articles, interviewed hundreds of its employees—from evidence technicians and analysts to six of its eight directors—and probably spoken to FBI personnel more days than not since 2008. And part of what’s so surprising about Strzok’s unique and engaging book—part-memoir, part-lesson in intelligence tradecraft, and part-cri de couer—is just how utterly typical an FBI agent he appears to be.”

“Far from a conniving villain or Deep State plant, Strzok—who by the summer of 2018 was the deputy assistant director of the bureau’s counterintelligence division, the number-two job in one of the FBI’s most important missions—was widely regarded in the bureau as one of the most promising counterintelligence agents of his generation.”
