Remember Peter Strzok, the Smirking Anti-Trump FBI Agent? He Just Lost 1st Amendment Case Against the DOJ
Share this @internewscast.com

Do you remember Peter Strzok, the FBI agent known for his anti-Trump stance, who was dismissed after sending text messages to his colleague and romantic partner, FBI lawyer Lisa Page? Those messages suggested they would prevent Trump from winning the 2016 presidential election.

Recently, Strzok’s First Amendment lawsuit against the Department of Justice and the FBI was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an appointee of Barack Obama. The judge ruled that Strzok did not successfully demonstrate that his rights had been violated.

Filed in 2019 during the tenure of President Donald Trump, Strzok’s lawsuit claimed that his dismissal was an illegal act of retaliation by FBI officials in response to his text messages critical of Trump.

According to Strzok’s attorneys, Trump was infuriated by the messages Strzok sent during his investigation into possible collusion between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia. As a result, they argued that FBI leadership terminated him to satisfy the White House.

Does this reflect an impartial counterespionage agent defending the nation, or reveal someone entrenched in a partisan mindset who believed he was beyond accountability?

Page texted Strzok: “Trump’s not ever going to be president, right? Right?”

Strzok replied, “No. No, he won’t. We will stop it”.

Despite losing this lawsuit, the Department of Justice under Biden astonishingly awarded Strzok over $1 million for “privacy violations” due to the release of those controversial texts, as we noted back in 2024:

But that was then; this is now, and the news wasn’t nearly as good for the OG Deep Stater:

In her ruling on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that several years of evidence and testimony collected by Strzok’s legal team from those involved in the 2018 decision to terminate him failed to prove that the 22-year FBI veteran’s rights were violated…

A summary of Jackson’s ruling — the full decision is currently under seal — showed she also rejected Strzok’s argument that he had entered into a binding deal with a senior FBI disciplinary official, which would have demoted the counterintelligence agent and suspended him for 60 days. The deal was canceled by the FBI’s then-Deputy Director David Bowdich, who fired Strzok.

He grew infamous for smirking relentlessly during congressional testimony, even as lawmakers were grilling him over his unprofessional messages and dubious marital mores:

Strzok is now an adjunct professor at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. Be forewarned, students, he epitomizes the deep state cabal that undermined Trump in his first term and continues to attempt to do so today. If you think that’s too harsh a description, remember some of these nuggets he texted while serving in an official capacity. Here’s an exchange from August 2016:

“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in [former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe] Andy’s office — that there’s no way he gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” he wrote. “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before 40.”

What exactly he meant by that has been debated endlessly, but what wasn’t: he wrote, “God Trump is a loathsome human,” and called him an “idiot.” 

I recommend not writing stuff like that about your boss on your work-issued phone—it’s unlikely to end well for you.
