From Now On, When I Think I'm Having a Bad Day...

[CS1983]

Is this the guy that was sleeping with some lawyer and sending a bunch of texts, or someone else?

I think you just described 73% of DC.

I think that's a TV show.

Me paraphrasing: This was a guy that was exchanging texts with his female boss at the FBI where they essentially said that there was no way that they would allow Trump to be President.

As usual, Gowdy did an awesome job. One of the good guys and Congress will be worse without him.

[Gman]

Gowdy makes a hell of a prosecutor...but what really came out of his stint in Congress?

[spqrzilla]

I got news for you, the Democrats think Strzok did fine. Notice that he refused to answer the most important questions, claiming the FBI counsel so instructed him. This wasn't just Strzok stonewalling Congress, this was the FBI.

In concert with the Dims and MSM, yes. The FBI is now exposed as a partisan organization that openly ignores the laws it is tasked with enforcing in order to interfere with elections (both before and after as the evidence goes).

It will be very dangerous if Strzok walks from this. The precedent being set is that gov agencies can work with political parties to advance a candidate while constructing false facts (Russian collusion, Steele Dossier, etc...) and hide that construction behind "national security."

And it's only in the open now because of those stupid texts!!! Had they had enough sense to use off-record/secure comms (like Nellie Ohr's ham radio) there would be no proof as all of Nunes' requests get ignored and docs are redacted. Took 1.5 years to learn FBI fired Steele and still sought the FISA warrant after knowing he was 100% bullshit. As they leaked the false facts to the MSM even!!!

Well of course they do. They also think it's OK for all sorts of other, anti-social behavior like saying the president's child should be turned over to a sexual predator and calling the first lady a "feckless c***". That plays fine to their unhinged, extreme base but it isn't playing well with the rest of the country. It's not over for Strzok and Page. And it's not over for democrats. They may think a "blue wave" is coming in Nov and it might be. But I think the chances are better than 50-50 that the wave is going to be headed out to sea instead of towards shore.

...but it's very nice to see congress act how they are supposed to on rare occasions.

This was really the point of the OP anyway. It wasn't meant to be a comment on the work of congress overall...it was meant to be a comment on Gowdy and Gohmert showing Strozk to be the lying scumbag he really is. And they did a fine job on this particular occasion. It's too bad some of you are so cynical with everything .gov that you can't see the brief flashes of good that do occur once every blue moon.

[Irving]

I was just doing the translating. I like Gowdy.

[Bailey Guns]

My last comment regarding cynicism wasn't directed at you, Irving. Sorry if it came across that way. Just cynical people in general. I get that way occasionally but I try not to let it become a lifestyle.

To add to what Skip said above we would've NEVER known about this if Hillary had been elected. Thankfully (I guess), we now know the FBI is the most corrupt law enforcement organization in the history of our country, overseen by the corrupt DoJ. We know this now thanks in large part due to what congress has uncovered during this investigation. There were those that said this pales in comparison to the Watergate scandal. No, it doesn't. This dwarfs the Watergate scandal. They aren't even in the same league. The media, the FBI, Obama, Hillary, the DoJ, the DNC...were all conspiring to affect the outcome of a presidential election using espionage, fabricated evidence and corrupt gov't officials and organizations to cover their tracks. The protective layer of corruption that protected people like Strozk and others is so complete and goes to such high levels that he feels he's untouchable. This is the biggest scandal in the history of the country and we still have the majority of the national media that won't report on it because it undermines their anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-American agenda.

On top of that we have members on this forum that say they actually support Strzok's actions in this hearing all because "fuck the federal government". Anyone who knows what Strozk (and others) did under color of law in an attempt to undermine the lawful election of a president and watches Strozk's behavior in that hearing and says, "I,m for anyone that stands up for themselves in front of congress fucks, left, right, good , bad", is completely separated from reality in my opinion. I'm stunned by that sort of comment re: this situation.
