"but, but OBAMA"

strzok didnt do himself any favors either. smug & condescending just like the fbi lawyers sitting behind him. couldnt recall sending texts but then remembers the time they were sent & in what context just a few minutes later in the "hearing". fucked up all the way around (this means both sides for those that think im always saying something in code

we get it you hate black people 

no, just you.

You didn’t do code that time :( 

>smug & condescending just like the fbi lawyers sitting behind him

 

 

Perhaps this is because they are disgusted that  Goodlatte and Co. are covering for a criminal president.

his time in the barrell is coming

To bad Jim Jordan didn't grill child molesters like he does FBI agents. 

Gerrymandering oversight at it's worst (flip the house 2018)

Gohmert take your meds props Jersey congresswoman

Party above country

If the Republicans want to examine the partisan bias that led to the Benghazi investigation, they might want to start here...

 

 

Hannity: "I love how you asked my questions. But go ahead, that is one of my questions. Go right ahead."

McCarthy: "I knew you'd want to ask it. What you're going to see is a conservative speaker that takes a conservative Congress that puts a strategy (in place) to fight and win.

"And let me give you one example. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. 

feeling the burn up in here?

'NO SENSE OF DECENCY'

Republicans Thought Peter Strozk Would Be a Punching Bag. He Just Knocked Them Out.

The agent was supposed to be a key in the imaginary conspiracy Trump's congressional lackeys and media fantasists have desperately tried to write as history. He had none of it.

Those who forget the lessons of televised Congressional hearings are doomed to repeat them, which is why the morning segment of the Capitol Hill show trial of veteran FBI agent and former head of the Bureau’s Counterespionage division Peter Strzok turned into a disaster for Republicans.

Donald Trump’s Congressional enablers, sycophants,and political suckups wanted a punching bag, but Peter Strzok instead delivered one of the rarest of moments; the full Joseph N. Welch.

Welch, the chief counsel for the U.S. Army during the infamous McCarthy hearings in 1954 had reached a breaking point. After McCarthy’s tendentious badgering reached a fever pitch, Welch delivered a famous rejoinder than ended the Wisconsin Senator’s career. Watched by millions on live television, Welch went full beast-mode.

“If it were in my power to forgive you for your reckless cruelty I would do so,” said Welch. “I like to think I am a gentleman, but your forgiveness will have to come from someone other than me… You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”

This morning, it was Strzok’s turn. After an hour of drama-queen badgering from Trey “Benghazi” Gowdy and Bob Goodlatte, Strzok issued two passionate statements that will be the takeaways from an otherwise disorganized and contentious shitshow of a hearing before the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees.

The first was a ringing defense of the FBI, with Strzok showing the kind of real passion that makes for great television. The FBI lifer issued a ringing defense of himself and his agency, punching Gowdy hard in the nose.

“I can assure you, Mr. Chairman, at no time, in any of these texts, did those personal beliefs ever enter into the realm of any action I took. Furthermore, this isn’t just me sitting here telling you you don’t have to take my word for it. At every step, at every investigative decision, there are multiple layers of people above me, the assistant director, executive assistant director, deputy director and director of the FBI, and multiple layers of people below me, section chiefs, supervisors, unit chiefs, case agents and analysts, all of whom were involved in all of these decisions. They would not tolerate any improper behavior in me any more than I would tolerate it in them.”

He closed with this fastball:

“That is who we are as the FBI. And the suggestion that I in some dark chamber somewhere in the FBI would somehow cast aside all of these procedures, all of these safeguards and somehow be able to do this is astounding to me. It simply couldn’t happen. And the proposition that that is going on, that it might occur anywhere in the FBI, deeply corrodes what the FBI is in American society, the effectiveness of their mission, and it is deeply destructive.”

The second was a shot across Donald Trump’s bow, “I understand we are living in a political era in which insults and insinuation often drown out honesty and integrity. I have the utmost respect for Congress’s oversight role, but I truly believe that today’s hearing is just another victory notch in Putin’s belt and another milestone in our enemies’ campaign to tear America apart.”

This latest spectacle was designed for one purpose only; the destruction of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Donald Trump’s Russia ties. Republicans like Fredo Nunes who have tried to present a series of dramatic, table-flipping reality TV moments to reach that goal have failed time and again to derail the Mueller investigation. This morning was yet another swing-and-a-miss for the Trump GOP.

Because Trump supporters live in a hermetic media echo chamber, these hearings are part of a predictable, hokey Kabuki dance. They’re a device for generating a new round of hyperbolic base-only stories that will follow the same, dumb arc as all the rest; in the coming days, you’ll see Sean Hannity flirt with apoplexy, coating the camera lens with flecks of spittle as he rants over Strzok’s perfidy. You’ll see pro-Trump columnists herniate themselves stretching to turn flippant text messages into a vast conspiracy. Twitter will be a flood of moronic memes, white-hot takes, and promises that Strzok will soon be in Gitmo alongside Hillary, Obama, Podesta, and Soros.

None of it will deter the Terminator in the Special Counsel's office. None of it will change the facts of Russia's interference in the 2016 election, and Trump's ass-deep ties to Russian money and influence. Trump's unhinged, shithouse-rat-crazy tweets today should tell you how deeply he fears Mueller.

Strzok was supposed to be a key in the imaginary conspiracy that Trump's congressional lackeys and media fantasists have desperately tried to write as history. The idea that his text messages poison the entire Mueller investigation was a pillar of their defense of the President. This morning they were going for a quick kill. They needed Strzok to flail, and wilt. The Gowdy Goodlatte and Gaetz types needed their grandstanding, dick-waving mock outrage to leave Strozk shaking and begging for mercy.

Strozk had none of it. In this morning’s round he left the Trumpists of the House staggered in their corner, cut and shaky, wondering where Stozok learned to hit back that hard.

Wow, what an arrogant arrogant prick.

He really, reeeeeeeeally didn't do himself ANY favors.

No arrogant pricks asking questions about extramarital affairs of the FBI agent but not the president.

Three years of nothing from Trey "Benghazi" Gowdy telling investigators to hurry up. Laughable he's now a joke!

This is what a "gerrymander house" oversight looks like. 2018 hello!

Trump palling around with COMMUNISTS named PUTIN. But watch out for Bernie and socialists.

MAGA - May Asshat Grope Again

>Wow, what an arrogant arrogant prick.

He really, reeeeeeeeally didn't do himself ANY favors<

 

As i wrote earlier...

 

Perhaps this is because he is disgusted that  Goodlatte and Co. are covering for a criminal president.

 

 

Susan nails it...

Republican arguments presumed that Mr. Strzok’s opinions were tantamount to corrupt behavior. As Lawfare’s Susan Hennessey, a former National Security Agency lawyer, put it, “What is actually on display here is House GOP members demonstrating that they cannot even conceive of the possibility someone could place duty and institutional integrity over base political and personal interests.”

yeah this will sway people..........to shoot his ass on sight

 

https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/1017588584214228992

oh.........my............ god

huh?

Still hard to believe that in 2018 the GOP strategy is to attack the FBI and our intelligence agencies because they have fallen captive to the Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones conspiracy-crowd. 

smh 

because everything is so cut and dried and above reproach beyond even a scintilla of impropriety. yeah................................smh

That look was probably intended for the next woman he's trying to fuck who was in the room. He's arrogant. Ever met someone in law enforcement who wasn't. Cops fuck each other wives like it's a sport.

"What is actually on display here is House GOP members demonstrating that they cannot even conceive of the possibility someone could place duty and institutional integrity over base political and personal interests.”

80% FBI is republican

Louie (Gohmert) did you forget to your medicine

>>>80% FBI is republican

i don't believe you but so what? can you back that up?

Head of Department of Justice (DOJ) - Christopher Wray (Republican)

Attorney General (AG) - Jeff Sessions (Republican)

Deputy Assistant General (DAG) - Rod Rosenstein (Republican)

*Special Counsel* - Robert Mueller (Republican)

 

So there is that.

i don't believe you but so what? can you back that up?

 

Dude.  Just look at the haircuts.smiley

Here is an article from back in November 2016, right before the election, discussing the apparent pro-GOP bias of the FBI:

https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/fbi-donald-trump-base-230755

The story quotes comments made by former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom, giving a taste of the personal beliefs of some of the senior officials in the agency:

"The Clintons: That’s a crime family, basically. It’s like organized crime.  I mean the Clinton Foundation is a cesspool. We don’t have enough time to talk about the things they’ve done, screwing people and the public in general. It’s just outrageous how Hillary Clinton sold her office for money. And she’s a pathological liar and she’s always been a liar."

Can't wait to see Trey Gowdy's Hillary hunting-era texts.

James Woods?

Hollie Bowie?

 

there was another politico article from the same time period (late 2016) that said 67% of the agents were middle aged white guys. but found nothing regarding political ideology. so what if they're republicans? i don't think a super majority are republicans, but why is that supposed to effect the way we regard them as fbi agents? didn't know inhabitants of a dbmb were so fiercely pro-law enforcement. 

>>>>but why is that supposed to effect the way we regard them as fbi agents?

It goes to counter the conspiracy theories from the Trumpers that the FBI investigation into the Russian interference in the 2016 election is a political witch hunt by a cabal of deep state Hillary people in the agency.

Conservatives moving to impeach Rosenstein soon: report

House Freedom Caucus leaders Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) are leading the effort, and the impeachment document could be filed as soon as Monday, according to Politico.

Hillman the FBI has safeguards built in every step of the way in case somebody flips and becomes a spy. Republicans in the FBI plotting against Republicans.

When Comey reopened the Hillary investigation right before the election even though the russia investigation of Trump campaign had been prioritized over HRC investigation by Comey per yesterdays hearing

>>>80% FBI is republican

>>>>i don't believe you but so what? can you back that up?

No link heard it from David Ignatius on TV

 

It’s a little disingenuous when the “law-and-order” party who has been behind putting American citizens behind bars for decades while wrapping themselves in the flag and steadfastly standing behind all of our law enforcement agencies suddenly cries foul-play on those agencies when their leader is the one being investigated. 

Don’t you think? 

I think a march will fix this.

i do but i also think it's disingenuous to say that they consider trump to be "their leader" when a good deal of them try to shy away from publically defending or supporting him as "their leader"

 

They R's want there Agenda and SCOTUS picks so they fall in line with Trump. 

Knot...you do know that many people have lost their lives or seriously injured marching for the freedoms you are enjoying, right?

fair enough. i feel that the "hosts" yesterday made asses of themselves but feel the same about the dems too with their numerous interruptions & diversions. and i reiterate that strzok didnt endear himself to the public either. each side probably got their base & that was about it

What was on display was the 2 party system partisan battle for TV time not much else

The Strzok "hearing" was just another shiny object for the dullards to follow down the Trumpkin hole.

Was it fun?

Time to grow the fuck up and decide what side of this you want to be on.

You're either a Patriot or Traitor.

Nothing else.

pit of misery! dilly dilly!
