‘Bullsh*t’: Comedian Trevor Noah Slams Ex-FBI Agent Peter Strzok’s GoFundMe Page

Fed up, comedian Trevor Noah fired shots at a GoFundMe page established to cover the legal fees and loss of income of former FBI agent Peter Strzok, after its target goal was repeatedly increased.

The page, launched Monday by the so-called Friends of Special Agent Peter Strzok, has upped its goals three times this week after the first two were reached. The goal was initially set at $150,000; it was later increased to $350,000 and then $500,000. Currently, the page has collected more than $430,000.

After taking note of the ever-increasing goal, Noah clapped back on Thursday night's installment of "The Daily Show."

​On Monday, FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich fired Strzok even though the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility had opted to hand him the lesser punishment of a demotion and a 60-day suspension.

Strzok gained fame after the discovery of repeated anti-Trump correspondence between him and fellow agent Lisa Page, which included statements such as "we'll stop it" when considering the possibility of Trump being elected.

These and Strzok's virulently anti-Russian texts, sent as he played a key role in the special counsel investigation into allegations of collusion between Moscow and the Trump team, were highlighted in a June 2018 report by the US Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General. Prior to his dismissal, Strzok had already lost his role on the special counsel investigation over professional judgment issues.
