Ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok, who vowed to “stop” then-candidate Donald Trump from winning the presidency, demanded that he keep his security clearance and other powers before he moved to special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, new emails show.
“Broadly, I need to be able to act at least in the capacity of my old CD [counterintelligence division] DAD [deputy assistant director] job – approve NSLs [national security letters], conduct [redacted] declassify information, [redacted] agent travel, requisitions, etc. Of those, the most problematic and one of the most essential is declassification authority,” Strzok wrote in an email to Bill Priestap, FBI counterintelligence chief, dated July 13, 2017.
