<p>Jake Tapper reported, &#8220;He was escorted from the FBI building on Friday.&#8221; Legal correspondent Laura Jarrett explained that he was still employed at the FBI as of Tuesday afternoon, but is facing a professional responsibility investigation.</p>
<p>This move came after Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz announced last week that Strzok&#8217;s anti-Trump text messages, including one in which Strzok promised his lover that he would &#8220;stop&#8221; Trump, had undercut the credibility of the department in serious ways. That IG report concluded:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>[I]t is not only indicative of a biased state of mind but, even more seriously, implies a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate&#8217;s electoral prospects. This is antithetical to the core values of the FBI and the Department of Justice.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Horowitz testified before Congress on Monday that &#8220;I can&#8217;t think of something more concerning than a law enforcement officer suggesting that they&#8217;re going to try and use or may use their powers to effect an election.&#8221;</p>
