Two million dollars in taxpayer money used to pay off two disgraced FBI participants in the Trump Russian collusion narrative was approved by a former Department of Justice (DOJ) official who has gone on to help lead the current “legal resistance” against President Donald Trump. That’s the conclusion of a report in the Federalist based on new records reviewed exclusively by the publication and obtained by the Center to Advance Security in America under a Freedom of Information Request. The $2 million settlement in 2024 to FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa Page followed their lawsuits against the DOJ over the release of text messages related to their role in pushing what the Federalist called “the Clinton campaign’s Russian collusion hoax.” Critics said the payments were a “sweetheart deal” since the pair never would have prevailed if the case had gone to trial. According to the Federalist, Brian Netter, a former DOJ deputy attorney general under President Joe Biden’s DOJ from 2021 until early 2025, approved the settlement agreements. He has since moved on from the DOJ, with the Federalist reporting: Netter currently serves as the legal director at Democracy Forward, a Democrat Party-affiliated group launched in 2017 to fight President Trump with lawfare. The group brags that it took Trump to court more than 100 times in his first term in office. It has continued its use of the courts to win political battles into his second term in office. “Liberal Legal Group Positions Itself as a Top Trump Administration Foe,” touted the New York Times last November. As Breitbart News reported in May of 2024, the “FBI lovebirds” Strzok and Page claimed their right to privacy was violated with the release of their disparaging text messages.

It's called ... sue and settle
Happens all the time in state and local courts.
Someone wants to do something in violation of black letter law... particularly in development ..
city council, county board.. who ever .. decides it would be a money maker for them too.
So off to court.
Weak defense of the law, settlement for the plaintiff.
Presto changeo ... no one in the community knows how the law or ordinance was changed. It's still on the books but now there is case law and precedence.
Voice of the people .. hemmm ... I don't hear anything.
A shocking exclusive report in “the Federalist” based on new records reviewed exclusively by them, obtained by the Center to Advance Security in America under FOIA
<><>The $2M in 2024 went to FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa Page
<><>this followed their lawsuits against the DOJ wrt release of text messages
<><>text related to pushing “the Clinton campaign’s Russian collusion hoax.”
<><>so says a former Biden DOJ deputy AG
<><>$2M tax dollars paid off the two disgraced FBI participants in the Trump-Russian collusion hoax
<><>then-approved by a Biden DOJ
<><>who is now now helping lead the current “legal resistance” against Pres Trump.
Unbelievable.
I was already far ahead of most people on justified cynicism.
Even I am wondering how far beneath us the louses are as day by day we hear worse things about them.
his family murdered thousands when they brought down
the Titanic.
he should pay for the treason, the thefts, the lying;
and those who paid him should HANG.
Time for all of them to have attorney’s fees higher than that and lose their pensions.
A ban on “sue and settle” in federal agencies was a great achievement in the first Trump administration.
It is probably in effect again.
Sue and settle in the agencies is how an activist organization and an agency are able to circumvent the law by colluding to obtain a “settlement” they both desire, with no public input at all.
Yes I learned all about it years ago ....
Black letter state law prohibited our County and city from using certain funds for utility expansion out side the city limits.
But a developer convinced the “powers that be” that a county wide water system would be just the ticket to rake in the bucks.
The developer had a plan ... some of us could see the boondoggle and tried to stand against it.
We showed the state law but forward they went,
turned out that a few years earlier there was a sue and settle in some little back water.
Nothing we could do.
30 years later and it is still costing tax dollars, the money flow was a no show.
The contractor/developer was eventually sued out of business in an other state.
Iceberg, Greenberg, what’s the difference?

I find it hard to believe Netter would have the power of final approval. It seems to me the AG Garland or DAG Monaco would have to sign off as with case of McCabe having his full pension restored.
If I’m not mistaken, Boasberg was the judge that signed off on this
Not only does crime pay, sometimes it pays very well.
Iceberg, Boasberg, what’s the difference!

Who is the Lawyer???
Lisa Page.
Good catch
Bozoberg; where have I heard that name before?
$2 million, eh?
