Justice Department reaches $2M in settlements with FBI officials whose texts infuriated Trump (Peter Strzok & Lisa Page)
Other portions of Peter Strzok’s lawsuit over his firing will continue as former FBI attorney Lisa Page’s case is resolved.
The Justice Department has agreed to pay a total of $2 million to settle legal claims brought by former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page over the DOJ’s release of text messages the pair exchanged.
The agreement ends a lawsuit Page brought, but does not fully resolve Strzok’s separate suit, allowing him to continue to press his claims that he was fired in order to please then-President Donald Trump.

This made me absolutely SICK to read. Like Lois Lerner at the IRS, who got to retire with full benefits after being found guilty of targeting Tea Party non-profits for audit.
