Special counsel Robert Mueller removed Strzok from the Russia/ Mueller Investigation/ Special Counsel investigation (2017-Present) after the messages were discovered- where Peter Strzok and then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page- expressed anti-Trump stance while favoring Clinton.
The reports about their ‘extramarital involvement’ also came to light when senior law enforcement officials discovered that the duo was exchanging text messages during the Clinton investigation and campaign season.
During the Clinton investigation, Strzok was allegedly involved in a romantic relationship with former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who worked for Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
Sources inside the FBI- who defended Strzok and Page’s alleged affairs, said that nothing was professionally wrong about their 'romance' as there wasn’t any direct supervisory role between Page and Strzok in the workplace.
However, they also added, claiming that Mueller would not want anyone engaged in such conduct on his team; citing that the ‘affair’ information could be used as a means of blackmail if a foreign intelligence agency found out about it.
