He referred specifically to Strzok\u2019s use of \u201can FBI device,\u201d an apparent reference to the shocking text messages sent on bureau cell phones between Strzok and his paramour, Lisa Page, in which vowed to stop former President Trump from being elected in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile there is no doubt your 21 years of service to the organization cannot and should not be erased, it is difficult to fathom the repeated, sustained errors of judgment you made while serving as the lead agent in two of the most high profile investigations in the country,\u201d Bowdich wrote in the August 8, 2018 letter. \u201cThough the Office of the Inspector General found no evidence of bias impacted any of your or the FBI\u2019s investigative actions or decisions, your sustained pattern of bad judgment in the use of an FBI device has called into question for many of the decisions made during both the Clinton e-mail investigation and the initial states of the Russian Collusion investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn short, your repeated selfishness has called into question the credibility of the entire FBI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Strzok&#8217;s dismissal letter was published today:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In my 23 years in the FBI, I have not seen a more impactful series of missteps that has called into question the entire organization and more thoroughly damaged the FBI\u2019s reputation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/walkafyre?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@walkafyre<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rFILnxDL84\">pic.twitter.com\/rFILnxDL84<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hans Mahncke (@HansMahncke) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HansMahncke\/status\/1575986650643304448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 30, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Strzok&#39;s dismissal letter was published today:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;In my 23 years in the FBI, I have not seen a more impactful series of missteps that has called into question the entire organization and more thoroughly damaged the FBI\u2019s reputation.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/walkafyre?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@walkafyre<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rFILnxDL84\">pic.twitter.com\/rFILnxDL84<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Hans Mahncke (@HansMahncke) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HansMahncke\/status\/1575986650643304448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 30, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The draft letter was an attachment in a DOJ response in Strzok\u2019s wide-ranging federal lawsuit alleging violation of his right to privacy and wrongful termination. Strzok\u2019s attorneys deposed Bowdich and are now trying to depose Trump and FBI Director Christopher Wray in a bid to show his firing was political. The DOJ attached the draft letter to rebut the idea that Strzok\u2019s firing was for political reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Bowdich has since left the bureau and is vice president of global security for Disney. Strzok, despite being humiliated by the exposure of his emails, extramarital affair, and repeated bungling of investigations, has written a book and frequently appears on hard-left cable news channel MSNBC to defend the FBI against accusations of political bias.<\/p>\n<p>Strzok served as deputy assistant director of the bureau\u2019s counterintelligence division, leading the investigation into phony Trump-Russia collusion claims and before that, the probe of Hillary Clinton\u2019s illegal use of a personal email server to send and receive classified documents.<\/p>\n<p>Strzok was first fired from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/robert-mueller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Special Counsel Robert Mueller<\/a>\u2019s team and then from the bureau after the Department of Justice\u2019s inspector general in 2017 turned up the damning emails exchanged between him and Page. In them, the pair expressed contempt for Trump and his supporters and Strzok hinted at plans to derail his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Bowdich claimed Inspector General Michael Horowitz found no evidence that political bias affected FBI investigations involving Strzok, but said the public perception was otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my 23 years in the FBI, I have not seen a more impactful series of missteps which called into question the entire organization and more thoroughly damaged the reputation of the organization,\u201d wrote Bowdich. \u201cIn our role as FBI employees we sometimes make unpopular decisions, but the public should be able to examine our work and not have to question motives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two-page letter ends with a blistering reference to Strzok\u2019s failure as a public servant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Deputy Assistant Director, you were expected to be a leader who was beyond reproach and set an example for not only our direct subordinates, but others throughout the organization who watched and observed your behaviors and actions,\u201d Bowdich wrote. \u201cYou failed to do so repeatedly and put your own interests [above] the interests of the organization. Though it pains me to do so, it is for this reason that I am dismissing you from the rolls of the FBI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the texts ending Strzok\u2019s career, they appear to have wrecked his personal life. In one exchange the DOJ revealed in response to Strzok\u2019s wrongful termination suit, the pair discuss Strzok\u2019s wife seeing their correspondence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy wife has my phone,\u201d Strzok wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour wife left me a VM,\u201d Page replied. \u201cAm I supposed to respond? She thinks we\u2019re having an affair. Should I call and correct her understanding? Leave this to you to address?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d Strzok wrote. \u201cI said we were close friends and nothing more. She knows I sent you flowers.
