Now that he’s no longer with the FBI, Peter Strzok has a lot of time on his hands. Apparently he’s decided to use that time to … start tweeting?

That’s actually not too far off, it seems. Here’s the one and only tweet so far from the new @PeteStrzok Twitter account:
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

According to the Daily Caller, that Twitter account indeed belongs to Peter Strzok:
CONFIRMED: Here is Peter Strzok's new Twitter account. Appears to have been created just after his Congressional testimony. He follows several Resistance heroes and "liked" a tweet calling Trey Gowdy a "vile insect." https://t.co/JsxCahTdHl @dailycaller

More from the Daily Caller:
Jennifer Kay, a spokeswoman for Strzok’s attorney, confirmed the authenticity of the account.
…
Though he has posted only once, he liked a series of tweets posted by anti-Trump pundits and celebrities following his marathon testimony before Congress on July 12. Strzok testified for 11 hours before the House Judiciary and House Oversight & Government Reform Committees about his text messages.
The first tweet Strzok “liked,” which was posted by actor Jim Carrey, compared South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy, the chairman of House Oversight, to “a vile insect.” The tweet includes a sketch of Gowdy with the body of an insect.
Sounds like something Peter Strzok would like.
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

For what it’s worth:
WaPo says the Strzok GoFundMe is real https://t.co/efNtshfjrx

Because of course it would be real.
Congrats to Peter Strzok on his new Resistance-funded Porsche, I guess

Nice work if you can get it.
Peter Strzok getting fired from the FBI only to immediately join Twitter and post a GoFundMe is the most 2018 thing to happen since Avenetti going to Iowa. Remove me from this timeline, please. https://t.co/n3RAAA0soJ

Sometimes a visual really helps tie everything together:
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
