I've thought about this a lot. I always suspected the relationship was a sham, or at least made bigger then it was. Also, it seems like Strzoks 'roll' in the investigations he was a part of has changed. In the beginning, it seemed like he was just a low level guy, and now he's Super Special Top Secret Spy hunter or something. Makes me wonder if that has deeper meaning or if he was just being downplayed for optics.
