Honor among thieves: Biden-Harris Justice Dept. sends $2 million to Strzok, Page For Failed COUP

This was not a settlement—it is a payoff.  Strzok and Page were involved in a coup and got caught.  The coup was to overthrow Trump (those behind it did better with their coup-insurrection—to overthrow Biden).  These two created a plan to get Trump—it did cause his impeachment—which failed.

Now, they get paid off, with your tax dollars for an attempt to overthrow the President of the United States.

Nice work if you can get it.

“Congratulations, US taxpayers: You get to pay Peter Strzok and Lisa Page $2 million.

The Biden-Harris Justice Department just settled a suit filed by the two ex-employees about supposed privacy violations that publicized their anti-Trump messages (on government phones) in the early phases in the get-Trump “Russian interference” probe.

This follows Justice’s 2021 gift to another anti-Trump crusader, Andrew McCabe — restoring retirement benefits he lost when he was fired for illegal leaks to the press and lying about them (under oath) to internal investigators.

When Trump is elected, the DOJ needs to clawback this money and indict for election interference and corruption.

Congratulations, US taxpayers: You get to pay Peter Strzok and Lisa Page $2 million.

The Biden-Harris Justice Department just settled a suit filed by the two ex-employees about supposed privacy violations that publicized their anti-Trump messages (on government phones) in the early phases in the get-Trump “Russian interference” probe.

This follows Justice’s 2021 gift to another anti-Trump crusader, Andrew McCabe — restoring retirement benefits he lost when he was fired for illegal leaks to the press and lying about them (under oath) to internal investigators.

We won’t review all the details of the Trump-Russia hysteria now; suffice it to say that it began as a Clinton campaign plot to smear her 2016 rival, centrally by paying a British “expert” on the Kremlin (who didn’t even speak Russian) to produce allegations (utterly fictional, as it turned out) — something the feds should have been able to figure out in short order.

Instead, a combination of blatant political bias at Justice, elite Washington hysteria about Trump and major-media malpractice blew it up into perhaps the most successful misinformation campaign ever, kneecapping Trump for much of his term.

McCabe, Strzok and Page each had a role in feeding it, along with other questionable actions (e.g., Strzok helped produce that recommendation that Hillary Clinton not face prosecution for her multiple violations of the law in storing top-secret information on her private email server).

They played politics on the job, and got burned for it.

But the folks now running Justice share those politics, and are taking care of them.

They made McCabe whole pretty quickly; now that Trump looks likely to return the White House, with his picks to clean house at Justice, they’ve settled a winnable lawsuit to reward Strzok and Page.

Consider it honor among thieves, albeit at the department charged with serving justice.
