...Peter Strzok. Patrick Byrne said he resigned shortly following Overstock's 20th anniversary, with them in great shape, b/c he unwittingly played a part in the "biggest scandal in American history.”
He said he answered a call from high-up FBI agents in 2015 or 2016 to do some things he called "fishy," but he trusted them, and didn't realize what it was until about a year ago, and then discovered the whole thing had been orchestrated by Peter Strzok.
Byrne said he resigned b/c he was told he is about to be ground into dust by the current DOJ investigation, and he didn't want to take the company down with him. He apparently had an affair with the alleged Russian spy Maria Butina.
Yowser.

Dang! Another dead one? Poor guy, an unwitting participant but dead nonetheless.

Listened to a lot of this on Sirius while on the road.
Yea, the guy does sound like an admitted and committed hippy, but so what? Few years earlier I would be too. So what?
If true, and I'm wagering it likely is, this will put a gutter in the swamp and let the creatures flow out.
Times they are a'changin'. Thanks Bob!
We'll, looks like the real "buckle up" is coming
Lol

That was me.. I was leaving the gym last night when he started talking and listened to about 15 minutes of it.. I'm not sure if he's playing with a full deck because it sounds out there, but if he is, holy sh*t.

Doesn't sound as if he is able to provide proof of any of this. Although I could very easily believe it show me the beef.
He did lose me saying he was the one man occupy Wall Street taking down corps with the "men in black".
Old boy sounds a little cooko for cocoa puffs. His interview on CNN was...interesting.
I think like most things, the truth is in the middle somewhere. I think he is likely exaggerating his own involvement, but the idea that he assisted with some political espionage led by Peter Strzok isn't much of a stretch at all.
Whatever the truth may be, apparently he was interviewed by John Durham, so whatever is true or not will eventually come out.
Tried to listen to him explain things to Chris Cuomo last night and the dude was all over the place. Hopefully we'll get a decent set of facts at some point.

Okay, if any Russian engaged an American to try and become a "spy", etc. for Russia and that American contacted the FBI as they should, any FBI member is most likely going to have that American engage the Russian on our behalf, Strzok notwithstanding.
Now, if we find he did so for any nefarious reasons, then yeah, it's a BIG problem.
But we're quite far away from knowing that yet. IMHO.
Strzok is the highbrow type who fancies himself as an intellectual. He's never going to give himself up to jail time. He'll talk at the last minute to keep from doing it. His ability to connect the dots back to Obama and Hillary means he should be on suicide watch if this proves true. And it would be wonderfully ironic if other guilty parties in the FBI were given oversight of him as that means he would talk all the quicker.
As for the CEO, he's had a brush with evil and just how much he's been sucked in by it and how much he has had to give up because of it has him rattled. When people really get rattled their stories often come out as a kind of shaken soda spew. They get the stuff out at first but because they haven't fully been able to make sense of it, or reconcile the fact that they've been used (and a CEO not in control is rattled) these types of interview responses are actually quite normal and to people who have studied the reactions of the victimized these patterns are actually much more believable than the straight Joe Friday well displayed step by step factual presentation which is almost always rehearsed.
I see that the ubiquitous and hackneyed defense of the Deep State starts with the standard, "They seem kooky" stuff. Since people have in the past tended to trust their government and buy its measured responses because they seemed stable, playing the kook card has traditionally worked to diffuse such messes. But the world is so upside down, and corruption in all levels of society so high, I don't think today's audience will as readily buy this dampening practice.
When a high ranking FBI official uses a citizen and CEO to set up probability for a plot line and may have likely had the Russian spy in bed with the guy for leverage it doesn't take much of a leap of belief to assume that it is the agent who had the nefarious purposes. Call the CEO a kook if you want, but kooks don't get to be CEO's, and they sure as hell don't willingly give up power unless they are pretty damned frightened. His moves here are calculated. Resigning was an attempt to protect what he created and his investment in it. And admitting things up front cuts the power of those who set him up to be leveraged. It was the only chance he had.
His reactions are perfectly in keeping with a guy whose world has been turned upside down and he intuitively knows what has happened to him and realizes how he was set up. His interviews are all over the place because (a) it's deeply personal and emotionally devastating to him, and (b) while he knows basically who did it to him, he can't be sure how many others in the FBI, DOJ, or other agencies may have been in on it and how much his life may be at stake because of it. Therefore, getting his story out also buys him time to possibly preserve his life if indeed he knows too much about the wrong kind of people.
As he regains control of his fear I'm sure he will again be able to speak coherently about all of it.
^^ I think that's a reasonable take, well thought out. The guy is not an idiot. You can't be and build something from nothing, as he did, in a hugely competitive market.
And the one easily identifiable calculated move is resigning, to separate himself from the company. He seems rattled for sure, which to me, lends some authenticity to what he is implying.
I suppose we'll see, but it's not like there haven't already been about a million pieces of evidence leading us down the same general path.
This is legitimate
He is a hippie wanna be but you dont give up what he did and say what he is saying for media attention

Haven't read through all this yet, so maybe already covered, but he said all this stuff whatever that may be is with Barr and Dunham.
We'll see how it plays out, yes he sounded kinda goofy, but he also founded a pretty damn successful and large Co., so who knows.
The story itself was convoluted enough, so seems a bit much to just dream up and go public with it. What else I find interesting is that it doesn't seem like many others have picked up on it or even made note of it (Yes, been out of anything for the most part today), so maybe no one else has found it credible.
If, big IF, it is this goes to the top. Commie Brennan, lying Clapper and the Homey. Maybe even beyond that.
