Peter Strzok, the former FBI agent who came under fire for sending disparaging text messages about President Trump and other political figures during the 2016 election, is suing his former employer over his firing, claiming the decision was a result of "unrelenting pressure" from President Trump.
In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Strzok's counsel argued that he was fired unlawfully for using his protected political speech under the First Amendment, among other reasons.
Strzok was fired last August.
His firing came after DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a lengthy 500-page report last year that fiercely criticized Strzok for his conduct, saying he displayed a “biased state of mind” during a key phase of the Clinton email investigation.
Strzok, a 21-year veteran of the bureau, also faced a barrage of attacks from Trump and Republicans after an internal investigation from the DOJ revealed he had sent messages critical of the then-Republican candidate during the 2016 presidential race to then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page. The two were having an extramarital affair at the time.
Is he really that stupid?
Perhaps he can purchase a designer orange jump suit with the proceeds?
This is just an attempt to get out in front of his prosecution and make it look vindictive. He wants to get injunctions against his arrest until after the next election.
Discovery will be interesting................
Using a government-supplied smart phone?!?
Unfortunately for us because he once was an FBI employee with power, I think DERANGED is a better word for him.

Well, Mueller already destroyed his a text messages.
Apparently he found a lawyer to take his case.

Correct. Democrats, aided and abetted by the GOP, have had years to destroy evidence. There will be no smoking gun.
Evil never stops.
For me it is always interesting when people sue for getting fired.
Lisa Page?
Perfect example of JUSTICE FOR ME, BUT NOT FOR THE!
Stroke will never be prosecuted by corrupt doj.
The irony is, doj swamp lawyers will probably argue to pay him off and reinstate all of his clearances and give his job back, so he can continue his investgations into Trump family and associates.
It’s over folks we lost this one to Hillary, dnc, and Comey Brennan swamprats.
That’s outside his purview............
as opposed to be in jail, he should be thankful He can join his mentor Comey on the ethics faculty
Has this guy’s lawyer informed him of the risks he faces in discovery? What a bleeding idiot!
I read here yesterday on another post that he was still visiting the DOJ and FBI offices, and participating in meetings. He apparently still has his clearances
I had to look it up. Strozk was fired in August of last year. Barr wasn’t Attorney General, but he’s named in the lawsuit? WTF?
