"In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Strzok excoriates the Justice Department and FBI for their handling of his dismissal over a trove of text messages he wrote to a colleague that were critical of Trump. Strzok accuses the president of inappropriately bullying law enforcement officials deciding his fate, raises questions about why his texts were leaked to the media and lambastes the administration for only defending its employees’ free speech rights when they are praising Trump.

Specifically, Strzok’s lawsuit accuses the agencies of violating his First and Fifth Amendment rights by firing him over the texts and then depriving him of due process to challenge his expulsion. And, Strzok argues, DOJ’s decision to give the incendiary messages to reporters before handing them to Congress — generating blaring headlines — was “deliberate and unlawful,” a violation of the Privacy Act."

8. I'm with Strzok! The FBI has to clean house of the James Comeys and political hacks!

Get the Putin sympathizers out!

10. Comey is not a Putin sympathizer. I didn't like what he did to Hillary but

he is an honest broker imo.

11. Naive enabler

with 20/20 hindsight. His legacy is a compromised, subservient FBI.

His honesty is irrelevant.

Trump hoped the press would miss him firing the FBI’s counter-espionage experts.
