Former FBI agent Peter Strzok just wiped his entire social media presence on X, a move that’s raising eyebrows as scrutiny over his past actions intensifies.
The Daily Caller reported that Strzok’s sudden purge of posts comes hot on the heels of explosive documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, detailing what she calls a prolonged effort to undermine President Donald Trump since his 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton.
Let’s rewind to 2016, when Strzok emerged as a central figure in pushing unverified claims that Trump’s campaign was in cahoots with Russia.
His role wasn’t just a footnote—he actively worked to keep investigations alive, even intervening to stop the FBI from closing a probe into Trump’s first national security advisor, retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
Fast forward to August 13, 2018, when the FBI finally showed Strzok the door. His dismissal stemmed from leaked text messages to FBI attorney Lisa Page, with whom he was romantically involved, revealing his clear disdain for then-candidate Trump while probing the very allegations he helped fuel. It’s hard to argue that kind of bias doesn’t taint an investigation from the start.
Special Counsel John Durham’s report, released on May 15, 2023, didn’t mince words either. On page nine, Durham pointed out that Strzok, along with Andrew McCabe, harbored “pronounced hostile feelings” toward Trump, as evidenced by their texts. If that’s not a red flag for impartiality, what is?
Durham’s findings went further, confirming the FBI couldn’t back up the wild claims in the now-infamous Steele Dossier, which was used to justify monitoring Trump associates.
That’s right—baseless accusations, propped up by questionable warrants, with Strzok right in the middle of the mess. It’s the kind of overreach that makes even the most trusting citizen question the system.
On July 18, 2025, Tulsi Gabbard dropped a bombshell with documents and a memo describing what she termed a “years-long coup” against Trump.
She didn’t stop at words—she referred the matter to the Justice Department for a criminal probe, naming heavyweights like former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan as potential targets for a DOJ “strike force.” This isn’t just a political spat; it’s a call for accountability at the highest levels.
Now, with Strzok’s X account suddenly scrubbed clean this past Monday, the timing couldn’t be more suspicious. Is this a man trying to erase a digital paper trail as the heat turns up? It’s a question worth asking, even if answers remain elusive.
Strzok, by the way, hasn’t exactly faded into obscurity since his firing. He’s a regular on MSNBC, defending his actions and continuing to point fingers at Trump for supposed Russian ties, while also teaching counter-intelligence and national security at Georgetown University. For someone under such a cloud, he’s certainly kept a high profile.
Take this gem from a November 2022 MSNBC appearance with host Nicolle Wallace: “I think the reality is, people are still around the world looking to the United States and trying to figure out, is this flirtation with Trump done?”
Strzok went on to criticize Trump’s stance on NATO and Ukraine, aligning him with Russian interests—a bold claim from someone whose own credibility took a nosedive. It’s almost comical to hear lectures on national security from a man fired for bias in that very arena.
Then there’s the draft termination letter from then-FBI deputy director David Bowditch, as reported by the Washington Examiner: “In my 23 years in the FBI, I have not seen a more impactful series of missteps.” That’s a gut punch from within the agency itself, painting Strzok’s actions as uniquely damaging to the FBI’s reputation. When your own house calls you out, it’s time for some serious reflection.
Yet, reflection seems in short supply—Strzok didn’t respond to a request for comment sent via Georgetown University’s communications office. Silence can speak volumes, especially when the stakes are this high. One wonders if he’s hoping the storm will just blow over.
Gabbard’s push for a criminal investigation signals that some in power aren’t willing to let this slide. Naming figures like Comey and Brennan alongside Strzok suggests a reckoning may be coming for those who overstepped in their zeal to target Trump.
