FBI fires Peter Strzok, months after anti-Trump texts revealed

 WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 12: Deputy Assistant FBI Director Peter Strzok attempts to recall information about his polygraph tests while testifying before a joint committee hearing of the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill July 12, 2018 in Washington, …


FBI official Peter Strzok, who played a lead role in both the Russian meddling and Hillary Clinton email probes but became a political lightning rod after the revelation of anti-Trump text messages, has been fired.

Strzok attorney Aitan Goelman said in a statement Monday that his client, a 21-year FBI veteran, was fired Friday afternoon, claiming this was a departure from standard practice and politically motivated. Goelman said bureau Deputy Director David Bowdich “overruled” the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility to remove him. 

“This decision should be deeply troubling to all Americans,” the attorney said.

Strzok appeared to launch a new Twitter account to fire back, saying he's "deeply saddened" by the decision and linking to a GoFundMe page.

    I seen where his Go Fund Me page has earned over 80K so far. INCREDIBLE! I hope it is all bad $$$. The kind you wish you had never taken.

    It is about time.

    I hope that his gofundme account does not amount to anything. (pun intended)
