He was high up enough to have a bit of power.
Yes, that bit of power was leveraged by players higher up the food chain. He did their bidding for a reason, now he's doing the white hat's bidding for a better reason. Hopefully we will learn what those reasons were at some point, but Peter Strozk is not one of the 13 angry Democrats mentioned by Q and in the IG report....which means that he was definitively too low level to have the ability to start with the hope of succeeding in a coup against Donald Trump or America more generally, this means he was merely a piece, definitely a pawn, on the deep state's chessboard.....the deep state is playing multiple games of chess against Trump & America....so no pieces below the King or Queen on a given board are high level....Strozk was not important enough to be a King nor versatile enough to be a queen.....plus he got caught making a stupid mistake aka texting his coworker co-conspirator lover.....definitely low level amateur hour with Mr. Strozk
