Republicans have a new public enemy No. 1: Peter Strzok, the FBI agent who was reassigned from special counsel Robert Muellers investigative team over allegedly anti-Trump text messages he sent during the presidential race.
A slate of reports from multiple outlets have catapulted the once-anonymous intelligence agent into the political maelstrom over what Republicans say is a woeful double standard of political bias at the FBI.
According to one report from CNN, Strzok, who also worked on the investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a private email server while secretary of State, was behind then-FBI Director James Comeys decision to call Clinton extremely careless in handling classified information over the server instead of grossly negligent.
Trump and his allies have used the stories about Strzok to bolster their argument that the investigation into Russian election meddling is a politically motivated witch hunt and that the investigation into Clintons server was a sham.

That's what a dictatorship is. Can't have public dissent. Can't have opposing viewpoint. Can't have free press. Can't have independent law enforcement.
