+OverSword Posted August 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Quote Former FBI official Peter Strzok has reacted to his firing from the FBI, saying on a newly-created Twitter account that he was “deeply saddened” by the decision. Strzok, the former deputy chief of counterintelligence, was fired Friday following an investigation into anti-Trump text messages he exchanged with his mistress, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page. “It has been an honor to serve my country and work with the fine men and women of the FBI,” Strzok wrote, linking to a Go Fund Me page that has been set up to raise money on his behalf.

He had over 100k in a matter of hours. Im curious if the money is in anticipation of the regime going after him or if hes going after them for wrongful termination. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aztek Posted August 14, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 14, 2018 i always wondered how much of it, the people actually get, and how much those who collect get, if we go by what charities get it is less than 10% sometimes less than 1% the rest goes to collectors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitterRose Posted August 14, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Ruining someone's life over the fact that they had an opinion. Everyone has an opinion. It doesn't mean they're going to let it affect their job, and it was proven that it didn't affect his job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would depend on whether or not the FBI had any rules about using work phones for personal life, or probably more likely rules against mixing work and personal politics.

In doing so he reversed the decision of the career FBI official responsible for employee discipline who concluded, through an independent review process, that a 60-day suspension and demotion from supervisory duties was the appropriate punishment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok but how many people get actually fired over something so silly? You say quit using your work phone to text your mistress, and you move on. I don't think that FBI have some special requirement not to ever have another political opinion as long as they serve. That's outrageous, and if the shoe was on the other foot, there would be outcries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitterRose Posted August 14, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 14, 2018 It should have been enough that he was removed from any role in the investigation. There was no reason to ruin him. And it's obvious that is what Trump is trying to do to anyone who doesn't get on the train. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was definitely spying on people but he was more discrete about it. Plus the press tended to look the other way during his Administration which helps with secrecy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now hold on there. What did his text's say about candidate Trump? Something to the effect that he would do everything in he could to prevent his election essentially. I don't think he meant he was just going to vote for another candidate, like any other citizen would. He was investigating him. Just a slight conflict of interest don't you think? If a federal investigator was caught saying the same things about HRC would you still feel the same way? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if the decision was made right off the bat to fire him I wouldn't have even blinked. While I in no way think his political views influenced the investigations he did cause a whole bunch of trouble for his employer. For the department to make a decision, and then override their own decision , all while Trump and Giuliani are calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the investigation (the very same day if im remembering correctly) though is a little too conveniently timed for me.

I don't think his firing was politically motivated. I think that the person that fired him looked at the recommendation and overrode it because from the outside such a punishment looks so severe that people would have to wonder why he still has a job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromdor Posted September 19, 2018 #25 Share Posted September 19, 2018 So now there is a GoFundMe page for Cohen as well: https://www.gofundme.com/hqjupj-michael-cohen-truth-fund $176,000 so far. Looks like Strzok leveled out at $462,000. I don't know if I should be /facepalming or applauding their chutzpah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
