Disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strzok’s ongoing play at victimhood hit a snag as an Obama-appointed judge dismissed his First Amendment case.
More than a year after then-President Joe Biden’s Justice Department awarded Strzok a fat seven-figure settlement over alleged privacy violations, it appears fortunes for the former official who’d been part of the Russian collusion hoax have changed. Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the District of Columbia dismissed Strzok’s lawsuit claiming he’d been wrongfully terminated for his biased text message pertaining to then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
The judge appointed by then-President Barack Obama detailed that her ruling was not a determination on whether or not the termination “was the appropriate sanction,” as she wrote, “The sole question to be determined here, then, is whether the FBI’s imposition of the sanction of termination comported with the Constitution.”
“After a thorough review of the pleadings and the materials submitted in support of the cross-motions, the Court finds that there is no genuine dispute of material fact that would preclude the entry of summary judgement in the defendant’s favor and that plaintiff’s motion for summary judgement should be denied,” wrote Jackson whose full opinion is to remain sealed until Sept. 30, 2025 at which point, barring objections from either legal team, it will be unsealed.
In 2024, after Strzok and fellow former FBI attorney Lisa Page — the woman with whom he was having an affair and sending text messages about stopping Trump from becoming president (which became the subject of a stage play) — scored a settlement from Biden’s DOJ that was seen by many as the laundering of $1.2 million to the agent in a “likely-doomed lawsuit” were Trump to retake the White House. The disgraced official’s lawyer lamented about his client’s inability to find work because of politics.
“It’s been impossible for him to get a job, actually, because he’s become so notorious thanks to former President Trump and his enablers in the media,” attorney Aitan Goelman told NewsNation’s Dan Abrams. “So, he has been looking for a job.”

“You know, as a former high-ranking FBI agent, you would think that he’d be easily employable, but people are, you know, afraid of controversy, and they’re afraid of being attacked by Mr. Trump and his minions,” added the lawyer who argued Strzok’s firing had been a “good day for Donald Trump, good day for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, bad day for America …”
At the time of the settlement, Hans Mahncke made the point, “This might be a good time to remind everyone that the release of the text messages between Strzok and Page (for which Strzok just received $1.2 million), crucially revealed that the FBI was secretly going after Trump *before* they initiated the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.”
The potential remains for Strzok to appeal the ruling to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
