Monday, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” after the FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, FL to allegedly retrieve classified documents, Disgraced former FBI senior official turned political analyst Peter Strzok claimed the public should “trust what the FBI is doing.”

“Well, Joe, absolutely, the American public should trust what the FBI is doing. You know, what’s funny is I think back the year and a half that I spent with a team looking at Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.”

“There was no concern. There was no outrage on behalf of any Republican as we used search warrants, as we went out and did a very invasive investigation to try and get to the bottom of what she did or didn’t do.”
“So it’s not that the FBI is targeting any one side or the other. What you see is the FBI going out on a day-in and day-out basis objectively investigating allegations of law.”

“There’s absolute silence when the FBI is investigating former Secretary Clinton. There’s absolute silence when the FBI is doing things that isn’t targeting them.”

“So, I think this is a one side — one sided narrative that has been developed and amplified, particularly by President Trump, going back to 2015 and 2016.”
