IANAL, but that doesn't sound like near enough, given what the "justice" department did to that man.

Asshole stole enough from "we the people" he should be able to afford it. Not to mention what he might have profited from the sale of certain documents.

Former FBI agent Pete Strzok, who was fired from the bureau in 2018 after his disparaging text messages about Donald Trump were made public, has reached a settlement with the Justice Department over his claims that his privacy rights were violated, according to his lawyers.
According to Strzoks lawyers, the U.S. government has agreed to pay Strzok $1.2 million.
In his 2019 lawsuit, Strzok and his lawyers argued that the FBI and DOJ unlawfully disclosed his private text messages disparaging Trump before and after the 2016 presidential election -- including the time frame during which Strzok helped lead the agency's investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server and Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Trump, who made Strzok a frequent target on social media, argued that Strzok's political bias tainted the early stages of the Russia investigation.

Hope someone is keeping track of all the taxpayer money being spent to pay people off for Trump's gross abuses of the public service.
