STORY UPDATED: check for updates below.

Did recently fired FBI-agent Peter Strzok call President Trump a dictator, a Russian asset and an unhinged madman on Twitter? No, that's not true: the tweet in question was published by a parody account mimicking the recently created real Twitter account of Strzok.

The quote originated from a tweet published on August 13, 2018 from an account named "@notpeterstrzok" (archived here) which read:

"I have been fired for expressing my personal opinion in private texts about a dictator that history will soon deem not only a Russian asset but an unhinged madman threatening the sovereignty of the United States of America."

As long as it is still up, here is the tweet in question:

I have been fired for expressing my personal opinion in private texts about a dictator that history will soon deem not only a Russian asset but an unhinged madman threatening the sovereignty of the United States of America.

That account's bio reads:

Proud American. Former FBI agent. Army veteran. Parody account - paying tribute to Peter Strzok.

So it didn't come from Strzok's real Twitter account. Fox News reported he set one up but it was named @petestrzok:

Fired FBI agent Peter Strzok sets up anti-Trump Twitter account, GoFundMe page seeking $150G

Fired FBI agent Peter Strzok took his anti-Trump rhetoric public on Monday, setting up a defiant Twitter account and a GoFundMe page seeking to raise $150,000 to cover his "legal costs and lost income."

On that Twitter account, Strzok only published this tweet so far:

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
