Peter Strzok demanded the right to declassify intelligence while he was on the Mueller probe probing Republicans fears over Trump-hating agent’s plans

FBI lawyer Peter Strzok demanded and then secured special authorities to declassify material and authorize information requests when he joined Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, government documents reveal.

New emails obtained by Judicial Watch show Strzok negotiating with counterintelligence chief Bill Priesap before formally joining the probe.

The documents show Strzok driving a bargain and prevailing in his demands, which related to his working authority as a deputy assistant director.
