Peter Strzok is acquitting himself magnificently

[DemocratSinceBirth]

He might not be the hero America deserves but he's the hero America needs.

Sir, all decent Americans applaud you.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

1. Couldn't agree more.

[Tatiana]

2. Not sure I'm prepared to go that far. I think we've been so hijacked...

...that it's really refreshing to see someone stand up and rightfully defend themselves and their beliefs so forcefully.

He didn't come to compromise, be civil, or make nice. He came to set the record straight and defend himself.

And I respect him for that.

[Achilleaze]

12. We can hope Ms. Page will do the same on Friday

[BigmanPigman]

3. It is almost as if he is enjoying himself!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. You can tell he holds his interlocutors in the same low esteem they hold him.

[Mr.Bill]

27. Of course he does.

He's engaged in a battle of wits with unarmed people.

[MontanaMama]

4. I don't know how he is

keeping his cool. I am yelling at my computer here at work. Glad I'm alone.

[Pacifist Patriot]

7. I had to step away. I cannot listen to any more GOP venom today without upping my BP meds.

[AwakeAtLast]

33. My hands were sweating

all afternoon! Watching this debacle set off my anxiety for sure!

[spanone]

5. ....and republicans are showing what utter assholes they are.

[MontanaMama]

15. Yes they are.

I fear we're the only people who see that however. Deplorables probably think they're behaving with honor. Wait, deplorables won't be watching or listening to this.

[peggysue2]

6. Strzok is cool and composed and . . .

making his Republican interrogators look and sound like the clowns they are.

Hope Ms Page is equally prepared and composed because after this fiasco, the Republicans will be looking for blood. Any sacrifice will do to save their sorry asses.

[C_U_L8R]

8. I hope we see a Senator Peter Strzok soon.

Or better. This guy is a pro and a total badass.

[OliverQ]

10. The problem is Fox/Hannity will spin this hearing against

Strzok and the base will eat it up. I'm just so fed up with all the propaganda and stupid segment of the population who buys Republican BS.

[Sophia4]

30. What kind of fool watches Fox News in the first place?

If you know anyone, enlighten them gently.

They are being duped.

[underpants]

34. Talk radio on the way home - focused on Strzok's affair

and backed up Gohmert who was just repeating the Foxworld BS. It's a circle with them.

[global1]

11. IMHO - This Hearing Is Backfiring On The Repugs.....nt

[exboyfil]

13. Don't worry

Fox News is already plastering over the seams.

[OnDoutside]

16. Dicing and Slicing is their M.O.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Partisans will think their side won.

That being said there's more of us.

[Mr.Bill]

28. True.

Some conservative forums I have seen are gloating that Gowdy is kicking the shit out of him, which I find laughable.

[kentuck]

46. The purpose of the hearing was to create division.

Trey Gowdy stunk up the place. He looked like someone who was recruited to lead the "inquisition". But who recruited him? Follow the m$ney, I gue$$?

[madaboutharry]

17. Well, he is making the republicans look like idiots.

I am beginning to think that the Russia investigation is going to rope in some of these congressmen. They seem too scared of the investigation.

[denbot]

18. Kick Rec and a song for all FBI Agents..

https://m.

[wryter2000]

19. I have a new hero

He's taking it to them

[olegramps]

20. I don't see what kept him from knocking that obnoxious Louis Gohmert on his little ass.

Every damn one of the Republicans are nasty filthy fascists bastards. Their sole purpose is the protect their Fuhrer and will stoop to the most vile means of character assassination. Every damn one of them must be defeated at the polls. The situation is beyond serious, it is dire.

[BlueIdaho]

21. Well Done Agent Strzok!

I wonder if the republicans are having flashbacks to Hillary Clinton on the stand? The only thing the GOP is proving is that it has utter contempt for the rules of the Congress and zero idea about how to effectively prove their case to the American people.

What we are seeing is a fucking kangaroo court.

[backtoblue]

25. +1!!!

[Mr.Bill]

29. I live in a small town in northern California, and any of our local judges would take Trey Gowdy

apart in a courtroom. He couldn't prosecute a DUI with breathalyzer evidence.

[BlueIdaho]

37. And to think, he's leaving congress

With the hopes of becoming a judge... I wouldn’t let him run the non-moving vehicle crimes court.

[Mr.Bill]

39. The reality is

he will probably do what most retired Congress people do. Have some law firms, foundations, etc, pay him six to seven figure sums to put his name on their letterhead.

[BlueIdaho]

40. Yup...

No way he’s got enough charisma for TV.

[Mr.Bill]

42. That and he looks like a cartoon character. n/t

[nolabear]

22. He really is. I would buy him a drink if I could.

That man is a pillar of restraint.

[LAS14]

23. How does one pronounce his name? nt

[blogslut]

43. I hear most people pronouce is as

Struck

[lindysalsagal]

24. Just checked in and he's looking/sounding strong.

Their grandstanding isn't ammounting to anything.

[Turbineguy]

26. He's a real traitor....

to Mother Russia and Father Putin!

[stonecutter357]

31. K&R !

[debsy]

32. Thank you, Mr. Strzok, for speaking up for our country...

...and, by extension, for all of those of us who care about what happens to our democracy! The Republicans questioning you today are very obviously biased toward Donald Trump and not to protecting our country.

[Honeycombe8]

35. I'm gonna call him BOOMER!!!! One BOOM! after another. Applause, applause...

[Vinca]

36. I could never in a million years comport myself like that under the circumstances.

The dam would burst and I'd be calling them expletive-deleted names. It's a real shame they've drummed him out of the FBI.

[AwakeAtLast]

38. He is taking one for the FBI team

He is allowing the rest of the FBI to see the utter contempt the Repukes have for them. He knows he has the backing of the intelligence community and also knows what Mueller has on everyone in this investigation!

[Mr.Bill]

41. The bolded pert is what is driving them crazy.

And some of them are sitting in the room today.

[backtoblue]

44. Kick and Rec!

[trof]

45. He is brilliant.

[malthaussen]

47. Remind you of anyone?

"Grace under pressure," folks.

48. Republican Kool Aid drinkers are no match for a smart and prepared spy cathcher.

Strzok is a genuine American hero, our best counter-intelligence agent the FBI has. Republicans had no idea what they were in for and thought because he had made a few unfortunate texts on the bureaus dime that they could skewer him. First rule of law when cross examining a witness is never ask a question you don’t know the answer to and don’t ask open ended questions. It’s scary to see just how misinformed these Republican scum are. They have no idea what the hell is going on. They are just as bad and misinformed as the MAGA wearing, racist dolts screaming at his rallies. They truly subscribe to all the “deep state” Hannity hysteria that passes for republican policy these days. We better win 2018 & 2020 otherwise we are doomed for good.
