For all the drama, fire and fury, the House hearing shed no new light on Strzok’s conduct at the FBI. It did, however, demonstrate the general uselessness of Congressional hearings.
Rather than uncover facts for their constituents, the hearing resembled a cross between “The People’s Court,” “The Jerry Springer Show,” and the trash talk between competitors at “WrestleMania.”
Equating texting someone you know on a personal level privately with testifying before a congressional committee? I hope you didn't injure yourself with that leap.
I understand that the tone and a context of a text message can be taken out of context. However, in this case, you have a baseline of thousands of text messages with the same tone and bias. Strzok got caught with his pants down in more ways than one.
I just don't understand their logic. Does the committee think there were no republican FBI agents that disliked Obama? Or any democratic agents that disliked Bush?
FBI agents swear an oath to their country. And if somebody is vetted and trustworthy enough to become an FBI agent and make it up the ranks as Stzork did, I trust that he knows how to separate his own politics from his job.
And Strzok said repeatedly that there were multiple levels of supervision above him, as well as agents under him that reported to him. If it had appeared that he was in any way out of line or doing something inappropriate with an investigation, it would've been picked up on and reported immediately. Basically, if Strzok had done something wrong, it would have been noticed by his colleagues.
^^ That point by Strzok really hurt the committee's agenda yesterday and made them look like morons.
It was noticed that's why you have had in the past year numerous unnamed FBI agents voicing their displeasure with the upper management of the FBI.
Yeah just look at the one that used cheating on his wife for being truthful in the hearing. Um, what about Trump's serial cheating when he was supposed to be "honest and faithful" to his wives. Keeping it honest of course...
A billionaire banging numerous hot chicks is a lot different and acceptable than some spazzed out looking dummy in a position of power banging his homily looking colleague.
shame on you for dirtying this site by putting that waste of skin Mr Cummings on here, 2nd only to Mr "Guam will tip over" Johnson on being the most embarrassing guy in Congress.
And to think there are people who are still defending him.
It's the blind leading the blind. I would be ok with it if they were just leading themselves off of a cliff and not trying to drag the entire country over the cliff with them.
I found the part where Louie Gohmert questioned Strzoks infidelity (whatever that had to do with claims of bias) rather hysterical, isn’t he a Tea Party Trump supporter. Rather enormous hypocrisy.
No Trump supporters here will respond to you, because they have nothing to say in defense. They'll read it and scroll right past it.
I wouldn't be surprised either way. I'll either get no replies, or replies saying nothing like "But Hillary..." or a rare one like this (not sure if said poster is a Trump supporter or not)

Well it still is but once again it is within the bounds of being partisan. I hardly ever see conservatives who cheat on wives get the same heat as they put on liberals. I just do to point out the fallacy of tribal politics. Trump's I would think would be more of a character flaw since I think only Clinton had as many known affairs as Trump. One affair, I can give a pass but as many as Trump has, I can't. He has monogamy issues.

Newt Gingrich carried on about Clinton's blow job until hell wouldn't have it. The whole time he was sleeping with a woman who was not his wife.
Those in government have a long history of affairs up to the current time.
No it isn't, but it just shows partisanship when used only against political enemies.

Yep, which is why I commented on it earlier.

Only to someone who is partisan and don't see their backyard is dirty as well.

You mean the typical Democrat playbook of deflecting? Those issues while important in their own right have nothing to do with this situation.. with one exception. All the things Raskin mentioned, many if not all these issues have been created by the Democrats lack of leadership, the inability to lead and their ability to stroke racial and economic divide in this country. Seeds that have been planted over the past 50 years but go back to the days when Democrats embraced slavery and fought to keep it law. Democrats have caused much of this mess. Republicans and specifically Trump is trying to clean it up by draining the swamp.
