"Peter Strzok, the FBI agent who sent anti-Trump texts, loses First Amendment case over his firing
A federal judge dismissed a long-running lawsuit from Strzok, who was fired from the FBI during Trump's first term.
Former FBI agent Peter Strzok has lost a long-running lawsuit claiming he was illegally fired during Donald Trump’s first term after sending text messages that criticized Trump.
Strzok argued in the lawsuit that his FBI bosses had retaliated against him in order to placate Trump, who was outraged over texts that Strzok exchanged while investigating ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia.
In a ruling Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that, after several years gathering evidence and testimony from those involved in the 2018 decision to terminate the veteran counterintelligence agent, Strzok’s lawyers had failed to show that his dismissal violated his First Amendment rights."
It took years to figure out that being part of the anti-Trump DOJ/FBI resistance could lead to firing? Anyway, tough luck for Strzok.
