“A fool and his money are soon parted” must be the informal motto of GoFundMe, the website that allows regular people to “crowdfund” – meaning fundraise off anyone who clicks on their link – for many and various reasons. GoFundMe, of course, gets a percentage of the money raised, but allows most anything to be the subject of a fundraiser. Including fired FBI agents.
First it was Andrew McCabe, who ended up raising a cool half-million dollars before shutting down his GoFundMe “legal defense fund” after being fired. And now… Peter Strzok, within hours of being fired from the FBI, has his own Twitter account and a GoFundMe.
Deeply saddened by this decision. It has been an honor to serve my country and work with the fine men and women of the FBI. https://t.co/iET9SbeTrv pic.twitter.com/7VTswzjoxE

Yes, really.
If this is actually Peter Strzok, then I’ve gotta say that it is definitely the Peter Strzokiest thing to have your very first tweet be a tweet scrounging for money on GoFundMe. https://t.co/Iuk5nJrzoV

Making GoFundMe money off of dumb libs trying to resist getting owned is turning into quite the business model https://t.co/jKDGqKTPZ6

As of Monday afternoon, the GoFundMe had already raised over $62,000.
I just donated to this @gofundme:"Support for FBI Veteran Pete Strzok" I want to say a few words about why. https://t.co/oLhqEY6qxE

Blah blah blah, Trump Russia political hit job, blah blah blah, if you don’t want to read the rest of this guy’s tweet thread. And behold, the fools appeared, their pockets laden with credit cards, which they did offer up to the Resistance in the form of donations to one skeevy creep.
Best line from the GoFundMe profile:
"Peter Strzok is a proud husband…" https://t.co/zuQmWNa1RP

DUDE.
This is just a straight up money grab for “legal costs and lost income.” And people are actually giving this guy money.
Congrats to Peter Strzok on his new Resistance-funded Porsche, I guess

Literally no one has made it easier for Trump to discredit Russiagate than Peter Strzok, so let’s [check notes] buy him a new house

Remember when McCabe’s GoFundMe pulled down $500K? Soon every FBI agent Trump hates will be a Resistance millionaire

Its ok, because a capitalist knows that a fool and his money are easily parted.

Word.
Welcome to 2018 – get fired, beg for money, watch the donations roll in. And send the lawyer out to still insist that your text messages don’t show bias.
Um….
Old @petestrzok: I am not biased against Trump!
New @petestrzok within moments of being fired and starting Twitter and GoFundMe accounts: I follow everyone I can who hates Trump. Give me money! pic.twitter.com/HzLgFoHnRO— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) August 13, 2018
The Resistance sure seems to be filled with rich fools, or at least fools who are willing to give away their money. I’m sure Peter Strzok and his wife (wouldn’t it be ironic if she divorced him now and took half this take?) appreciate the Resistance’s gullibility. I’m just glad that he is no longer getting taxpayer money to be a smarmy, lying weasel.
GWB says: allows most anything to be the subject of a fundraiser
Well, they supposedly exclude anything related to an actual crime. And they have shut down all sorts of legal defense funds. Of course, they won’t shut down this one. Or any of the others that defend the right kind of people. (I think they did shut down the one for Defense Distributed, despite it not being related to an actual crime.)
“Peter Strzok is a proud husband…”
Yeah, that one got me, too. Oy vey, what a schmuck.
I can’t fault the business model, except on a moral level. But what a bunch of maroons to actually fund it. These are the same people who buy organic wasp sting extract to cure their freckles or such crap.
Or, they’re just people with more money than morals, who actually want to “stick it to the right!” or something.
No matter which group they’re in, they’ll still be the first up against the wall when their side takes over.
