Former FBI agent Peter Strzok claims government violated his privacy, free speech rights

While Plaintiff and many others who have criticized the President have faced discipline, up to and including termination, revocation of security clearances, and threats of criminal prosecution, federal employees who praise President Trump and/or attack his political rivals have faced no consequences.

President Trump has made Strzok a frequent target, citing those disparaging texts, and has repeatedly argued that Strzok's political bias tainted the early stages of the Russia investigation.

Plaintiff also expressed deep concerns with the lack of due process in his disciplinary process, citing the following facts: repeated public and private statements by President Trump demanding that Plaintiff be fired; Plaintiffs inability to access his own files or the thousands of pages of materials relied upon by OPR ; and the unusual and unprecedented speed of OPRs process, evidenced by the fact that OPRs letter to Plaintiff still contained language keyed to a prior version of the OIG report that had been changed in the final report, which suggested a rush to judgment which undermines right to due process.
