In a stunning announcement the FBI's top investigator, tapped by special counsel Robert Mueller just weeks ago to lead the probe of Russian meddling in last year's presidential election, has left Mueller’s team. The sudden departure of FBI veteran Peter Strzok is a major hitch in the secretive investigation. It's unclear why Strzok stepped away from Mueller's team of nearly two dozen lawyers, investigators and administrative staff. A spokesman for the special counsel's office declined to comment.Was he too ethical for Mueller or did he want to wash his hands of what that team is trying to do?
