Fired FBI agent Peter Strzok on Tuesday thanked his supporters, writing on Twitter that he is stunned and humbled as a GoFundMe page has raised more than $250,000 for him in less than 24 hours.
Strzoks tweet did not directly address the fundraising campaign, but it came as the account had exceeded its original goal of $150,000 by more than $100,000 in just 23 hours. Its new goal is $350,000.
Stunned and humbled by the extraordinary outpouring of support already received from thousands of fellow everyday citizens taking time to fight for our country and our shared American ideals, he tweeted. Thank you.
The GoFundMe campaign was launched Monday after news broke that the FBI fired Strzok, a counterintelligence agent whom Republicans have criticized for sending disparaging text messages about President Trump during the 2016 campaign.
The money raised will be placed into a trust dedicated to covering Petes hefty and growing legal costs and his lost income, according to the GoFundMe page.
Strzok was removed from Robert Muellers special counsel team investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election after his text messages criticizing Trump surfaced. Strzok exchanged the messages with then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page, with whom he was having an affair. He was also a key figure in the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email use while secretary of State.
Trump on Monday praised Strzok's firing, tweeting finally and asking whether the Russia investigation will be dropped.
I’d like to see the libs fund and fund and fund these corrupt jerks.
Less money for travel and protests for mid-terms and 2020.
Spend it all little libs, spend it all.
FAKE NEWS!
Makes me literally sick. I am forever thankful and grateful to all that donated to my brother in 2014 when he was dying from cancer, $2,285 of a $60,000 goal, a go fund me account my nephew set up for his uncle. That anyone would donate to this evil criminal Stzork is just nauseating to no end.
——GoFundMe = Money laundering——
laundering of black mail payments.
Pay up or I’ll squeal on you
Deep State payoff!
Why didn’t he just ask Hillary for the money? She owes him.
Five percent to lawyers, and 95 percent to his slush fund account!
I wonder who’s going to get investigated by the SEC by Pete’s wife Melissa Hodgman?
I guess it takes a certain kind of person to give money to a traitor like Strzok, and that Hussein Obama is probably one of the traitor/donors.
Is the toothpaste also out of the tube?
Probably all from the members of the MSM........
The real story is that the poor are pledging food stamps for Peter so that he doesn’t live under a bridge at night and ride his bicycle to his girlfriend’s house... but do you think the press will report that story? No! His only chance to make big money is to be hired by Occupy Wall Street and Occupy ICE to become a strategic adviser for Antifa. But that means wearing a mask on the streets and getting beaten up by the alt right. Peter’s okay with it as long as he can get back to the bridge at night without too much pain and missing teeth.
GoFundMe has turned into a leftist slush fund. It is disgusting. They have no shame as others truly suffer with no resources.
Next stop, tenured professorship at a major university.
The crazy lefties are all wound up on social media to donate $10 to this. I am with you, I think some big bucks are being laundered through. Not enough idiots with $10 to add up to this, at least I don’t believe that.
Fake News!!

To them, those mortgages and emptied bank accounts would have been well invested to get power.
