Byron York: Nunes blows up, threatens contempt after FBI stonewalls House on Russia investigator demoted for anti-Trump bias

"By hiding from Congress, and from the American
people, documented political bias by a key FBI head investigator for
both the Russia collusion probe and the Clinton email investigation, the
FBI and DOJ engaged in a willful attempt to thwart Congress'
constitutional oversight responsibility," Nunes said in a statement
Saturday afternoon.
Stories in both the Washington Post and New York Times on Saturday reported that Peter Strzok, who played a key role in the original FBI investigation into the Trump-Russia matter, and then a key role in Mueller's investigation, and who earlier had played an equally critical role in the FBI's Hillary Clinton email investigation, was reassigned out of the Mueller office because of anti-Trump texts he exchanged with a top FBI lawyer, Lisa Page, with whom Strzok was having an extramarital affair. Strzok was transferred to the FBI's human resources office — an obvious demotion -- in July.
The
Post reported that Strzok and Page exchanged text messages that
"expressed anti-Trump sentiments and other comments that appeared to
favor Clinton."
