Former FBI attorney Lisa Page, who is at the center of the anti-Trump Deep State scheme with her co-worker/lover Peter Strzok, is suing U.S. taxpayers for the “cost of her therapy” and the “permanent loss of earning capacity.”
Democrats have made this kind of victim narrative a science as was seen when Christine Blasey Ford perfected it in her debunked testimony against Brett Kavanaugh.
Page feigned regret for the lawsuit in a tweet, “I sued the Department of Justice and FBI today. I take little joy in having done so. But what they did in leaking my messages to the press was not only wrong, it was illegal.”
I guess Page forgot all of her adulterous text messages and anti-Trump hate messages were sent on government phones. She has no right to privacy when using taxpayer issued devices!
The Department of Justice released to the public 375 of Lisa Page’s texts to Strzok in December 2017. The test messages were presented by the Department of Justice as part of a larger investigation of charges of bias within the FBI.
In the complaint Page’s attorneys filed on Tuesday, they wrote she suffered “numerous damages” as a result of the disclosure that included permanent loss of earning capacity due to reputational damage” and “the cost of therapy to cope with unwanted national media exposure and harassment at the hands of President Trump.”
In her complaint Page is also seeking reimbursement for “the cost of childcare during and transportation to multiple investigative reviews and appearances before Congress,” the “cost of paying a data-privacy service to protect her personal information,” and “attorney’s fees.”
Deanna Fisher of “Victory Girls” expressed the disgust we all should have for Page’s shameless desire to profit of her own illicit actions. “Let’s get this straight. Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, who were work colleagues having an extramarital affair, conducted said personal affair on their GOVERNMENT-ISSUED PHONES. A phone OWNED by the FBI. How on earth does Lisa Page, as a supposedly educated government lawyer, think that she has any kind of expectation of privacy here?”
Page claims the FBI and DOJ released the texts to gain favor with President Trump after he had been critical of then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the DOJ over special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the alleged Trump/Russia collusion.
The texts between Page and Strzok revealed they had been hiding the affair from their respective spouses. During his fight against the FBI for his firing, the FBI’s Candice Will, assistant director at the Office of Professional Responsibility said that Strzok’s wife threatened to expose the affair after discovering text messages between Page and her husband.
When the text messages were first released, Page was largely silent about her firing though she continued to criticize Trump. In an interview with the Daily Beast published last week, Page said Trump’s reference to her at a rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota in October caused her to speak out.
“Honestly, his demeaning fake orgasm was really the straw that broke the camel’s back …I had stayed quiet for years, hoping it would fade away, but instead it got worse …It had been so hard not to defend myself, to let people who hate me control the narrative.”
Christine Blasey Ford step aside; Lisa Page just took your place as pseudo victim of the year.
