Ex-FBI agent regularly targeted by Trump bringing out book about president's links to Russia

An ex-FBI agent whose part in the investigations into Donald Trump administration's ties to Russia angered the president, will soon claim he was compromised in a tell-all book.

In a statement to the Associated Press on Tuesday, publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books & Media said Peter Strzok’s book would outline claims that the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to sway the 2016 presidential election.

The book – Compromised: Counterintelligence and the Threat of Donald J. Trump – will come out less than two months before Americans vote in this year’s presidential election.

“Russia has long regarded the United States as its ‘Main Enemy,’ and I spent decades trying to protect our country from their efforts to weaken and undermine us,” said Mr Strzok in a statement accompanying the book announcement.

“In this book I use that background to explain how the elevation by President Trump and his collaborators of Trump’s 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.”

Support Strzok, irritate Trump, and donate it to the library when I’m done. Win-win-win.

Mary Trump's book sold a million copies in the first week of release. This one will probably do well too, I hope.

I read that he caught more Russians spying in the US than anyone else.

The WSJ read 7000 texts of his released thru freedom of info suit. They concluded he had a handful of anti Trump comments but was overall politically neutral. For instance he was the one who urged Comey to reopen the Hillary probe when emails were found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. He drafted for Comey the notorious letter to congress released 11 days before the election, the letter Hillary says cost her the election.
