Recently, while taking a victory lap from being acquitted by the U.S. Senate of a mostly partisan Democrat impeachment to try and have President Trump removed from office, the president re-invoked the name of one of the many “deep state” actors involved in the seemingly neverending effort to dismantle, tar, and feather the Trump administration.
The man in question is Former FBI agent Peter Strzok to be exact. He is the agent famous for texts with his “lover” at the time, Lisa Page, saying things like, “Hillary Clinton should win 100 million to zero” and insulting Trump supporters who like to shop at Wal Mart in Southwest Virginia by calling them “smelly”, along with many other bad optics things.
Strzok, via comments from his legal team and himself, is firing back, not taking the insults from President Trump sitting down. Bizpacreview.com reports:
Disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strzok pushed back against stinging remarks from President Trump on Thursday, as the president denounced the efforts of his political enemies to take him out while commenting on the US Senate acquitting him on two articles of impeachment.
Describing his own actions as a “responsibility for holding [Trump] accountable,” the fired bureau agent took to Twitter to say “America deserves better.”
Strzok’s tweet comes as he shared two comments tweeted by his attorney, who called his client “a patriotic career counterintelligence agent,” and claimed Trump “raged and threatened those public servants tasked with investigating or testifying about his serial misconduct.”

2/2 I will have a great deal more to say about the president’s attacks on those with responsibility for holding him accountable.

The full statement from Strzok’s lawyer in the two tweets read: “Peter Strzok, a patriotic career counterintelligence agent whose conduct in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election has been vindicated by two independent IG investigations, today found himself targeted by his President in yet another unhinged attack…. Angered by the disclosures of yet more instances of his betrayal of our national security in the service of his own political advantage, President Trump raged and threatened those public servants tasked with investigating or testifying about his serial misconduct.”
Well, it sounds like Strzok either has yet another diabolical plan to take down the president yet again, or his feelings are hurt. It’s tough to say which at this point, but I am sure with time all his plans will be revealed. Meanwhile, the Trump administration will continue on with their agenda as long as the folks trying to stop him are not successful. Whether or not you support that agenda depends on where you fall on the political spectrum of course, and that is what makes America great: the ability to think for ourselves and do what we want as long as it doesn’t hurt other people or break the law.
