Mia Murphy--FBI agent, Peter Strzok was fired
Peter Strzok has been fired from the FBI due to anti-Trump texts. Peter had lead the bureau's investigation of Russian interferance in the presidential election (2016) until he had been caught sending anti-Trump texts. The director of the FBI office had only said that Peter needed a demotion plus a 60-day suspension, but Aitan Goelman had said that he needed to go through the normal disciplinary process. Peter had also reached out to the FBI on twitter thanking them for letting him work there, but the FBI had declined to respond to him. Peter was a very active worker for the FBI, he had investigated Russian spies, and had also been apart of the Russia case and Hillary Clinton's use of personal email server, which happened to be two of the most high profiled cases they've had. In the end of all of this Peter Strzok was removed and put in a human resources position.
