Former FBI agent Peter Strzok, a onetime member of former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, is claiming the FBI and Justice Department violated his rights of free speech and privacy when firing him for uncovered texts that criticized President Trump.
Strzok and his legal team made the claims in a court document filed Monday that pushes back on the Department of Justice's (DOJ) motion to dismiss the lawsuit he filed in August over his ouster a year earlier.
DOJ alleged in its motion to dismiss that Strzok’s role in high-profile investigations meant he was held to a higher standard when it came to speech. But Strzok’s legal team disputed this in Monday’s filing, saying that the approximately 8,000 other employees in similar positions retain their privacy even when using government-issued devices.
“The government’s argument would leave thousands of career federal government employees without protections from discipline over the content of their political speech,” the filing said.
“Nearly every aspect of a modern workplace, and for that matter nearly every non-workplace aspect of employees’ lives, can be monitored,” it added. “The fact that a workplace conversation can be discovered does not render it unprotected.”
Strzok’s team also accuses the bureau and DOJ of only punishing those who condemn Trump, as “there is no evidence of an attempt to punish” those who verbally backed the president ahead of the 2016 election.

The irony....
Who's smirking now you little bitch?
A peeping Tom with a fraudulent FISA warrant whining about his privacy rights.
He needs a good Singapore caning.
What? WHAAAT?
If you wrote this in a spy novel nobody would ever believe it.
Bless His Little Heart.
I’m betting this was all done on work phones so he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. BTW every time I see that picture I just want to smack him.
Sorry, dude. I’m a Fed and there are a lot of things I cannot say.
He has a pair of brass ones.
Any judge worth his salts will laugh him out of his court.
When this A H gets placed in jail...let me know.
I think Peter Strozk violated all of our free speech rights, and I think he should have to answer for that.
I agree. They should have let him keep his job so he could continue posting incriminating texts to his other man’s wife pal.
You're not being prosecuted for your speech.
You were FIRED for your speech.
Your employer has the right to determine when your speech conflicts with your responsibilities.
He's definitely become emboldened.
I think he’s demon possessed.
Feint and diversion.
Stuck oig squeal.
