What nefarious plan?

And so far as it goes, I see it as more a case of "No harm, pretty minor foul". By all means, making those texts on his work phone was dumb and terrible optics. And while there's no reason to think that he was negatively impacting the integrity of the investigation, I have no particular problem with his being taken off of it. Optics DO matter.

That doesn't mean I'd want to see a highly competent agent *fired* over it though. That'd simply be a waste. (Although after this circus, it may well make more sense to go ahead and retire him. Good job, GOP, making America weaker!)
It occurs to me that the entire affair would indicate that the fellow is less than "highly competent". At best, he's an idiot trying to impress his girlfriend with false bravado.

If women were an issue then Trump would have rightly called out for far worse. He was at worse unwise in misreading the desperation of Republicans and the depth of their depravity.

He didn't look that way in congressional testimony. He def wasn't the idiot trying to make an impression in that. Those honors belong to Gowdy, Goodlatte, Gohmert & the rest.

In America, depravity sells, sad to say. At least to a fair % of the population. If it wasn't that way Trump wouldn't be President.

What a sad, embarrassing comment on your powers of observation. I hope it's just an act, or the usual affliction of Fox and talk radio partisan ignorance, not some kind of head injury (or worse).

Btw, Dump supporters don't get to criticize anyone over competence, intelligence or false bravado. It's the argumentative equivalent of punching yourself in the face and then acting smug about it. Petulant, shameless hypocrites can try to pass all the judgment they want but they aren't fooling anyone. You certainly aren't.

I would wager that the majority of people speak out of ignorance and didn't watch one complete segment such as with Gowdy but will condemn Strzok anyway.

His career in full suggests otherwise.

Just really sad that people are perfectly ok with his comments and actions ,especially in the position he had. They claim collusion from Trump, but claim nothing from this guy. Despite many actions and statements. Timing is pretty key, his actions and statements are very suspect.

But instead of looking at everything evenly. Dirty Republicans did everything wrong, Dems did nothing wrong. Again if the script was flipped, it would be a different story. From both sides. Not admitting that just shows your own bias and agenda. Again, some people deserve punishment if you're a Dem. Others not at all. Pathetic, but common now.

Have at it. Waiting for your evidence that his personal political opinions had any effect on the investigation, which by the way he has not been involved in, in quite a while.

I think you're allowing your own bias to cloud your ability to look at this objectively. As I said before ask yourself this - if an FBI agent was found to dislike a mob boss he was investigating do you think that individual is showing impermissible bias and should be taken off the case? If so, who would be left to investigate mob bosses? If not, why does the president get special extra privileges to only be investigated by people who like him?

Also, we should all be very clear that there is not a single piece of evidence that shows Strzok engaging in a single, solitary improper official act while investigating Clinton or Trump. Not. One. Shred. I'm sure plenty of FBI agents didn't like Hillary Clinton but I have no problem with them investigating her so long as they conduct themselves professionally. Why aren't you okay with the other way?

What actions, specifically? You know, the ones that the IG didn't cover, apparently.

Inquiring minds want to know...

What actions are you referring to here? His texting? He did nothing to derail Trump's campaign and had all the ammo to do so if he was actually allowing his bias to interfere with his performance as an FBI official. Fox News rots the brain.

He could have just leaked what was going on in the investigation. Nothing but crickets.

I do love it. Trump said "I will restore law & order!" then started tearing down the FBI immediately thereafter.

You can get away with things like that only when you have a cult following.

This is actually looking at everything evenly. You just aren't on the same field as all the other adults.

Also, based on your comments throughout your history of posting on ATP&N, you have clearly shown explicit bias towards republicans, the GOP, righties, and fundamentalist Christians.

It is obvious that this bias makes you incapable of defending all Americans, equally, in your capacity as a military serviceman. It is clear to anyone that is thinking fairly, that you would be unwilling to defend the life and the rights of an individual that does not lean your way politically. I think it is your duty to step down, then, as your clear bias inhibits your duties as a military serviceman to defend ALL Americans equally. It's rather clear and obvious, seeing as we have the evidence of your posting history.

If you disagree with me here, then you disagree with yourself in this very post.

So, please do the proper thing and discharge yourself. You can't be trusted to perform your duty fairly, because of your clear and obvious bias.

It is weird that conservatives keep insisting that Strzok was conspiring to defeat Trump yet didn't do the one thing in his power that would have almost certainly defeated Trump.

I am genuinely baffled that these guys are so committed to this conspiracy theory that even the fact that the 'conspiracy' could have totally won and chose not to doesn't make them rethink it.

They know it's just to discredit the Mueller investigation's findings, they're just playing dumb...or maybe they are that dumb.

Correct, so does this becomes a No Harm, no Foul situation? My original question was to ask, should Strzok keep his job because he failed to succeed in his nefarious plan?

What "nefarious plan?" By chance did it involve restaurants that specialize in pizza?

Less than "highly competant" yet managed a 22 year career with the FBI where he managed to attain the positions of Chief of the Counterespionage Section and then Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division. Obviously a loser.
