GoFundMe page for fired FBI agent Peter Strzok raises $130,000 in 10 hours
Who says sending anti-Trump texts to your girlfriend doesn't pay?
Sure, such texts cost Peter Strzok his 22-year career with the FBI, but they also seem to garner the disgraced former agent a lot of support – enough to raise more than $130,000 for his legal expenses in just 10 hours on a GoFundMe page .
The page, launched Monday by "Friends Of Special Agent Peter Strzok," seeks $150,000 to be "put into a trust dedicated to covering Pete’s hefty – and growing – legal costs and his lost income."
"Peter Strzok, a man who has spent his entire life working to help keep us and our nation safe, has been fired," reads a message on the GoFundMe page. "He needs your help."
The post goes on to say that Strzok has "been the target of highly politicized attacks, including frequent slanderous statements from President Trump, who actively – and apparently successfully – pressured FBI officials to fire Pete."
It also says his firing did not follow the FBI’s "normal and independent process" because it overruled "the decision of the career professionals in the FBI’s disciplinary division."
In less than half a day, the page drew in donations from more than 3,000 donors. The largest were three donations of $1,000.

It seems Trump and the gop are intent upon purging the FBI of lifelong loyal Republicans...
FYI, James Comey, Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok are all conservative Big R Republicans.
I expect before this is all over they will all be completely vindicated and probably reinstated.
It doesn't really matter. Because if they aren't i'm sure you will find a way to complain how they were treated unfairly and railroaded by the system.
Once again proving the old saying "A fool and their money are soon parted"
Spot on, Sparty On. The President didn't fire this asshole. The office of professional conduct made a recommendation and the chief of the FBI made the decision to fire him, deservedly so. This guy obviously lacked the integrity that his FBI career demands. If you can't be trusted to be honest, how can you be an FBI Agent?
The OPC's recommendation was not firing Strzok who was fired for political reason on Trump's demand...
Yep. Trumpsters don't concern themselves with the facts though.
are you holding an FBI Agent to higher standards than other government positions ?
DITTO
Strzok's GFM account has raised, "Drum Roll Please", $232,237 by 5,780 people in just 21 hours...
The fund is to replace Strzok's lost income also...
Strzok's GoFundMe account it, "TRENDING", and will exceed its now $350,000 goal within hours...
Thanks for sharing. I contributed
With the help of good people like you Peter Strzok's GoFundMe account should reach a million dollars...
I expect he'll need it to complete his appeals. Conservatives should be outraged at what Trump is doing.
Illegally conspire with Vlad Putin to hack HRC and the DNC and to enlist Putin's Troll army to help get himself illegitimately elected...
Crime DOES pay...
What crime has Strzok been accused of? Not a one. He sent a dumb joke of a private text to his girlfriend.
When conservatives start losing their lifelong careers for dumb stuff they post on social media we can talk.
You'd think the Liberal Types would "Contribute" that money to the "Poor" instead of some Ex. FBI HACK. It' about Priorities I suppose.
Actually WE DO!
And unlike Conservative types who give primarily to RELIGIOUS charities, Liberals give broadly (BUT TO BE FAIR, NOT AS MUCH AS THE STEREOTYPES imply.
That sounds very much like a sweeping generalization to me. That isn't even remotely true in my case so i'd honestly like to see what information you are basing that comment on.
Except for $350,000 and growing. But that's just "Crumbs.
Why must righties constantly ask for documentation of what is public knowledge outside their opaque bubble?
Oh boy ..... I'm a "righty" eh? Well, yipee-ki-yay for me.
That said, your link CLEARLY does not prove that conservatives give PRIMARILY to religious organizations. You can try again or you could just let the person i posed the question to answer the question.
I do believe that many people give primarily for the tax credit not because they have big hearts
I agree but it can be both. Good for the soul and the pocketbook.
I know it is for me with many of the groups i donate to.
Yes it does. It get's you the Presidency.
If Strzok's private text damaged the FBI, what do Trump's dumb lying public Tweets do to the Presidency?
Let's subpoena all the FBI e-mails transmitted from the time the POTUS PRIMARIES BEGAN, up to election day … have them scrutinized for incidents of partisan politicking and do so via a bi-partisan commission with a NEUTRAL THIRD-PERSON ARBITRATOR!
Post the results on a website open to the public with the tally as follows:
E-MAILS CONTAINING …
1) ANTI-TRUMP COMMENTS
2) ANTI-CLINTON COMMENTS
Let's see why TRUMP-precipitated FBI DEMOTIONS and FIRINGS are limited ONLY TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS WITH WHOM COMEY SHARED HIS NOTES RE:THE FLYNN CONVERSATION!
That certainly seems fair to me. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out...
As Sparty On said earlier, just goes to prove the truth in the saying 'A fool and his money are soon parted'.
I know! Trump had to file bankruptcy how many times...... It's quite embarrassing but as you say, a fool and his money. What's worse is those who vote this person into Office based on false credentials. What should we call them I wonder........
Not that Presdient Trump or bankruptcies really have anything to do with this article. In football we called a fake like this an off-tackle slant.....generally a short yardage play.
How many companies? Approx. 500 (according to wiki)
How many bankruptcies? 6 seems to be the agreed upon number (from the Washington Post)
What is the national average? Looked at several sources and generally 50% make it 4-5 years before folding.
So, it seems as if his percentages as a businessman are far better than average. I could do the math for you, but you wouldn't really care.
The bottom line? Strozk deserved to be fired and was. See? There is justice in this world. If you want to spend your money to help support this lying, cheating person, knock yourself out. It's (or was) your money. I'm sure there are many far more deserving charities out there.
Yes, I did one of the things I hate when others do it to me. I did a whataboutism. I apologize because Trump's role in this has nothing to do with the money he lost but more about misusing his position to get people fired who opposed his election.
I'm surprised that you can discard and discount everything in this man's career simply because he tweeted negative comments about the President. It seems incredibly thin skinned.
I'm assuming your career was perfect since you can so easily dismiss everything Mr. Strzok has done for the country. You put a career man up against a man who dodged service 4 times over and pick the dodger? What's wrong with this picture.
Trump was so disreputable as a borrower no American banks would loan to him so he became beholding to Russian banks...
Those business bankruptcies forced his investors to take the hit while Trump protected some of his own interests. They are nothing to be proud of or blow off.
I did the math. It's 1.2%
It does, doesn't it.
I was about to engage in whataboutism but I think I will refrain
I haven't picked anyone over anyone. I do not believe that you have someone running an investigation, searching for the truth, when you already have your goal set and are just trying to collect evidence to get you to your pre-determined goal. That is not the business the FBI is in and that's why he lost his job. Additionally, I'm sure there is some 'moral' issues that the FBI has rules about, that he violated.
You seem to allow your emotions, your likes and hatreds, to determine how you see things.
And now, you are moving the goal posts again. In fact, trying to hide the goal posts.
Gary - You picked Trump over Strzok when you decided that it was okay that this President harass and use his bully pulpit to launch a campaign against our civil servants and our intelligence community.
I am sick to death of Trump supporters making excuses EVERYDAY for this man. He is the worst human being to run our country in my lifetime. I don't want to hear Trump supporters bitch one more day about being called deplorable. They have allowed that term to become true. To ignore common civility and human decency IS deplorable and pathetic.
I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong and I concede that I do allow my emotions to dictate how I feel about things depending on the issue. AND because I can acknowledge this about myself I'm also able to take a step back and re-evaluate the situation. Sometimes I will correct myself and other times I will stay the course.
I don't want to argue about this with you anymore. You have your opinion about me and I have my opinion about Trump supporters.
I suspect your opinion is shared not just by the majority of Americans but the majority of the world's population.
Tell that to all the people who were ripped of by Trump University or all the contractors Trump stiffed...
Strzok was illegitimately and probably illegally fired contrary to agency standards on Trump's orders so Trump is on topic...
Nobody should have to feed you public information known to anyone interested.
Strzok was fired for purely political reasons on Trump's probably illegal orders unless you can prove otherwise...
I think Mueller is strategic. He knew that even the appearance would be used to sow the seeds of doubt. He took Mr. Strzok off the investigation to protect the investigation because the Republican's can no longer be counted on to exercise their constitutional duties.
Just like David Bowdich firing Mr. Strzok even though it was not the recommendation. He did it for other reasons. Some suggest it was to send a message throughout the FBI.
That is my belief. I could be wrong and perhaps we will learn the reasons some day.
That's all I got. I've been under the weather for about a week so my powers are not at full strength.
Prove it. While you are doing that, answer Texan's questions. Unless you are just full of it and can't.
$250,000 in donations and growing....
The goal has now been changed to $350,000......per Fox News.
Update - 2:30 P.M. Eastern Time - $309,992 of $350,000 goal met - Strzok may go into politics...

Nonsense. Update: due to overwhelming support for Strzok his original goal has been met and enlarged...
$382,018 of $500,000 goal - It could not have been done without you...
