Much of this information was previously out.

Some of it covered here - which is also the article Ivan refers to in thread.

Of additional interest is why Strzok was being interviewed.

And why at that particular time.
A final item of note was contained in footnote 1 of the latest filing in the Flynn case:

“Strzok was interviewed on July 19, 2017, in relation to other matters, not as part of the investigation of the defendant or any investigation of Strzok’s conduct.”
If Strzok wasn’t being interviewed on July 19th in relation to the investigation into Flynn or in relation to Strzok’s own conduct, what was the purpose of the interview?
I think it's possible Strzok was being interviewed in relation to McCabe's role in events.

On May 9, 2017, McCabe would lie in an interview to INSD agents regarding his participation in the leaks.

This was the same day that Rosenstein wrote his memo recommending the firing of Comey.
On July 14, 2017, IG Horowitz suddenly decided to respond to a letter sent by a group of Democratic senators - a letter that had been sent more than four months previous.
Horowitz’s letter appears to indicate that he was evaluating the direction of his investigation:

“We are continuing to assess what, if any, additional review would be appropriate for the OIG to undertake and will update you as appropriate.”
At some point prior to July 20, 2017, Horowitz had uncovered texts between Strzok and Page that caused him sufficient alarm to request all texts between the two during the Clinton email investigation.
Horowitz didn’t provide a initial discovery date of the Page/Strzok texts but given the subsequent receipt times of seven to 12 days, it would seem reasonable to assume that Horowitz made the initial discovery sometime prior to his July 14, 2017, letter to the Democratic senators
On July 19, 2017, Strzok was interviewed by an unknown senior assistant special counsel member and an unknown FBI supervisory special agent.
On July 27, 2017, Inspector General Horowitz notified Mueller of the discovery of thousands of text messages sent between Page and Strzok, which resulted in Strzok being removed from the investigation the following day.
On July 28, 2017, McCabe lied to Horowitz while under oath regarding authorization of the leak to The Wall Street Journal.

At this point, Horowitz knew McCabe was lying
During the course of the interview, the OIG showed McCabe text messages dated October 27, 28, and 30 from Special Counsel to DAD, indicating that Special Counsel had been in contact with WSJ reporter Barrett
Horowitz made his initial discovery of the Strzok/Page texts no later than early July 2017.

Horowitz would receive the second batch of texts on July 20 but had yet to receive the final batch that was later provided to him on Aug 10
Which brings us back to that footnote from the Flynn legal filing:

“Strzok was interviewed on July 19, 2017, in relation to other matters, not as part of the investigation of the defendant or any investigation of Strzok’s conduct.”
This disclaimer is somewhat countered by language contained in the actual FD-302 of the Strzok interview:

“The purpose of the interview was to collect certain information regarding Strzok’s involvement in various aspects of what has become the Special Counsel’s investigation.”
The purpose of Strzok’s July 19, 2017, interview may have been multifaceted, but probably centered around the actions of Strzok’s boss, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.
McCabe has lied repeatedly in his public appearances.

Addressed here:

A couple add-ons. Today's information is not new. But if folks were unaware. I'm glad it got the attention it deserved.
Here are a couple stabs at who might have done interview.
