Fired FBI agent Peter Strzok on Tuesday thanked his supporters, writing on Twitter that he is “stunned and humbled” as a GoFundMe page has raised more than $250,000 for him in less than 24 hours.
Strzok’s tweet did not directly address the fundraising campaign, but it came as the account had exceeded its original goal of $150,000 by more than $100,000 in just 23 hours. Its new goal is $350,000.
“Stunned and humbled by the extraordinary outpouring of support already received from thousands of fellow everyday citizens taking time to fight for our country and our shared American ideals,” he tweeted. “Thank you.”
The GoFundMe campaign was launched Monday after news broke that the FBI fired Strzok, a counterintelligence agent whom Republicans have criticized for sending disparaging text messages about President Trump during the 2016 campaign.
The money raised will be placed into a trust “dedicated to covering Pete’s hefty – and growing – legal costs and his lost income,” according to the GoFundMe page.
Strzok was removed from Robert Mueller’s special counsel team investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election after his text messages criticizing Trump surfaced. Strzok exchanged the messages with then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page, with whom he was having an affair. He was also a key figure in the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email use while secretary of State.
Trump on Monday praised Strzok's firing, tweeting “finally” and asking whether the Russia investigation “will be dropped.”
GoFundMe = Money laundering
~~~
We need a special council appointed to investigate how many Strzok donations came from Russian bots.
:D
I have a feeling these are large donations from people who are going expect “payback” someday. Having an ex dirty FBI agent in your back pocket is a worthy investment to the right investor.
The sheer hatefulness towards PDJT and his supporters in the comments on the original article make for scary reading.
This depends on who set up the go fund me page, and how it was set up. Could all be non-taxable gift to him.
He needs to go to jail. He engaged in active obstruction of justice.
Trump should personally file a lawsuit for violation of Civil Rights under color of authority and bankrupt the b@$+@rd.
All these Manchurian candidates have been programmed to sound as patriotic as you and me. It makes me wince every time someone like Struck/Stoke or Brennan whip out their false flag.
A fool and his money...
What is he raising funds for?
He doesn’t need a criminal defense, unless there’s something we don’t know, yet.
I thought GoFundMe was for illness, organ transplants, natural disasters, and orphans.
Who knew sedition could be so profitable?

Most definitely money laundering. And probably showing that PT Barnum was right.
It’s too late but perhaps we could do a go fund me for Scooter Libby. Two can play this game.
Good. Less money they will be able to spend in the mid terms.
Isn’t America great? Where else can you be a criminal and thousands support your efforts?
Holy crap liberals are stupid...
Is there any way to track these payments to him?
He has probably best save it for a legal defense fune. I think he will need it.
“The liberals will re-mortgage their houses and empty their bank accounts in the next two election cycles.
They do not care and will sacrifice everything to win.”
Yes, because they realize that these next two elections are for “all the marbles.” Particularly 2018. They can see that all the $hit they’ve done going way back to the end of WWII or earlier, to “communize” America will go out the window if they loose the next two elections. The real task ahead of us is to destroy the Leftists in our “institutions of higher learning,” otherwise it will just begin all over again.
Me, I’d take it further and say there are 100 suckers (at least in America) born every second!!!
Or to quote Forrest Gump, “Stupid is as stupid does!”
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
Agree!
Does he get his pension?
He got fired does that mean he loses his pension?
