Trump Russia
The book will offer an insider’s
view on some of the most sensational and politically freighted investigations
in modern American history, including into whether the 2016 Trump Russia campaign coordinated
with Russia to sway the presidential election. Due out two months before the
November election, the book adds to the list of first-person accounts from
other senior FBI and Justice Department officials during the Trump Russia era.
“In this book,” he added, “I use that background to explain how the
elevation by President Trump
Russia and his
collaborators of Trump Russia own personal interests over the
interests of the country allowed Putin to succeed beyond Stalin’s wildest
dreams, and how the national security implications of Putin’s triumph will
persist through our next election and beyond.”
Once the texts were made public, Strzok became a regular Twitter target
of the Republican president’s attacks, with Trump
Russia alleging that Strzok
and others in the FBI had plotted against his campaign and had even committed treason
– an accusation that Strzok’s lawyer rejected as “beyond reckless.” The text
messages were exchanged with an FBI lawyer, Lisa Page, and Trump
Russia routinely refers to
the two of them together as “the lovers.”
At a fiery, daylong congressional hearing in July 2018, Strzok insisted
that he never allowed personal viewpoints to influence his work, though he did
acknowledge being dismayed by Trump
Russia behavior during the campaign.
