If you’re looking for a Justice Department scandal regarding Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's influence of the 2016 election, it's hiding in plain sight. Look no further than the government's release of the private texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
Both Strzok, an FBI counter-intelligence agent, and Page, an FBI lawyer, were involved in the 2016 investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server, and were both briefly on Mueller's team investigating Russia's influence of the 2016 election. In the texts from 2015 and 2016, they complained about the Republican presidential nominee's intelligence and demeanor (including in unprintable terms). In July, those private texts came to the attention of the Justice Department's inspector general. The FBI reassigned Strzok to human resources, while Page left the special counsel's probe.
