| • | Former FBI agent Peter Strzok, who is suing the government in a bid for reinstatement, argued in a court filing in Washington, D.C., federal district court on Monday that his politically charged anti-Trump messages were protected by the First Amendment — even though he sent them on bureau-issued phones while playing leading roles in the probes into both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. |
| • | "Firing an employee for the content of his or her non-public communications is unconstitutional, irrespective of any balancing of interests" including damage to the FBI's reputation and other factors, Strzok argued in his response brief, which also slammed Trump's "unpresidential tweets." |
| • | Because it was the DOJ that had leaked his anti-Trump text messages, Strzok argued, his texts should be considered private speech. |
| • | Strzok, once the FBI's head of counterintelligence, said he was entitled to "develop a full factual record through discovery," and that it would be premature to dismiss the case at this early stage. |
| • | He went on to argue that the DOJ's position would "leave thousands of career federal government employees without protections from discipline over the content of their political speech." |
| • | Strzok's filing was a response to the Justice Department's no-holds-barred motion to dismiss his lawsuit for reinstatement... |
| • | "If the president thinks that I'm crazy, I think that's a good thing because I think it would be a problem if he said he agrees with my ideas because he has many problems." |
| • | "He's racist, he's anti-immigrant, but more than just that — his administration is corrupt. I think he's afraid of women – of strong women, of Latina women. The values of the president are very backward." |
| • | In October, Trump called Ocasio-Cortez a "Wack Job" on Twitter, to which she retorted "Better than being a criminal who betrays our country." |
| • | "We're here to say that what we're living in is not an advanced society," Ocasio-Cortez said, prompting someone in the crowd to ask "Why aren't we calling it fascism? That's what it is!" |

| • | ... "DOJ and/or FBI officials disclosed" her sensitive text messages "directly to a select group of reporters to ensure they would become public." |
| • | Page's lawsuit lamented that Trump's tweets about Page's texts "have been retweeted and favorited millions of times." |
| • | Trump, Page went on, has "targeted" her "by name in more than 40 tweets and dozens of interviews, press conferences, and statements from the White House, fueling unwanted media attention that has radically altered her day-to-day life." |
| • | She argued that federal law prevents agencies from disclosing personal records about individuals "unless an exception applies or the individual who is the subject of the record consents in writing to the disclosure." |
| • | Her lawsuit does not contain an apology for her conduct, and she has long maintained that her anti-Trump views — which she shared with Strzok using FBI phones even as the two played key roles in the Hillary Clinton and Russia probes — did not affect her official duties. |
