FBI Agent Peter Strzok has been fired by the FBI Deputy Director. Strzok has faced heavy criticism from Republicans and the Administration for Anti-Trump texts that he sent during the months leading up to the Election.
Whilst I agree with the firing, I think he has been made a scapegoat. Every member of the FBI has political bias but they leave it at the door when they go to work. Strzok was exonerated of any workplace bias by the Inspector General Report a couple of months ago. He sent negative messages about Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders but they have been neglected by the Republicans and Trump Administration.
The FBI has the chance to get the public fully onside again. This could be a good first step but they have to root out all the problem Agents (For example, the Agents who gave Rudy Giuliani info about the Clinton Investigation a couple of day before James Comey re-opened it) not just the scapegoat Peter Strzok.
