Correct me if I am wrong, Mueller found and fired

Lisa Page and Peter Strzok after he learned about not only their political banter but because they broke FBI rules about adultery and fraternizing within dept. When asked, reporters and witnesses should just say; "Yes" ... and Muller was the one who discovered this and then fired them ... not trump or some other repug. I believe this factoid has been lost to trumper's because it has never been plainly stated. REMEBMBER TO PLAINLY STATE FACTS TO trumper's ... or else it will just glosses over the top of their brains

It was just revealed last month that in closed testimony McCabe made the decision immediately after finding out about Strzok's anti-Trump text messages to Lisa Page. McCabe consulted with other top FBI officials and they had Strzok removed from Russia investigation although the Special Council announced the removal in a way that everyone assumed Mueller had made the decision to remove him.
