A fresh saga has emerged from the halls of Washington, where two infamous figures once entrenched in the anti-Trump conspiracy find themselves enriched by the very Justice Department that purportedly seeks justice. Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the dynamic duo who waged a covert war against then-candidate Donald Trump, are now basking in the glow of a $2 million payoff courtesy of the Biden administration. This windfall is surely a generous reward for their service during the Obama days, just in time for them to enjoy a cozy retirement from the political battlefield they once fanned into flames.
Strzok, the former FBI agent whose texts dripped with disdain for Trump, is set to pocket a cool $1.2 million, while his partner in political crime, Lisa Page, will claim $800,000. Their communications, which laid bare their biases and machinations, were conveniently revealed during the investigation into the laughably disproven claims of collusion with Russia. Instead of being held accountable for their actions, they get a cash prize—proof that in today’s Washington, some folks are more equal than others.
Why are Strzok and Page benefiting from taxpayer money? Their lawyers argue that they were victims of an unfair political vendetta, attempting to paint their smear campaign as an innocent misunderstanding. Strzok’s attorney claims this outcome serves not just to protect Strzok but also to safeguard future public servants from “partisan politics.” Quite an interesting twist, considering their own actions were anything but neutral. It’s a classic case of projecting guilt: when you’re caught with your hand in the cookie jar, why not play the victim?
Meanwhile, the editorial board of the New York Post weighed in with their take on the situation, and suffice it to say, their patience for this political theater is wearing thin. They pointed out the absurdity of taxpayers rewarding the very people who tried to undermine a duly elected president while pretending to uphold the law. In a convenient show of solidarity, the Biden Justice Department has chosen to “settle” with Strzok and Page right as Trump appears poised for a political comeback. Isn’t that just rich?

Even House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jim Jordan remarked on the dubious nature of these payments, asking whether going after a president would pay off. Attorney General Merrick Garland clumsily sidestepped the obvious implication, insisting it was about making up for violating the law, rather than rewarding misconduct. If the rule of law still meant anything, one would think Strzok and Page would be facing consequences instead of basking in the glow of a financial reward.
As the story unravels, the irony is palpable. While hard-working Americans shoulder the burden of government inefficiency and corruption, the dysfunction in Washington continues to pay off corruption with taxpayer money. Strzok and Page have become symbols not just of FBI overreach, but of a government that seems more interested in rewarding its own than in delivering justice. As they enjoy their unexpected financial windfall, America watches, shaking its collective head—wondering just how deep the swamp can get.
