10 things we learned from Peter Strzok's congressional testimony (10 lies he told)
The Hill ^ | 07/15/18 03:05 PM EDT | SHARYL ATTKISSON, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR

Peter Strzok, the FBI’s former head of counterespionage, owed the American public explanations about the vitriolic messages he sent on his work devices while investigating Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. And he deserved the opportunity to be heard.

In testifying to Congress last week, Strzok ended up side-stepping many questions, stating that the FBI had directed him not to answer. But we still discovered a lot.

Here are ten things we learned from Peter Strzok’s testimony to Congress about his text messages and other actions:

1. Strzok’s hatred for Trump did not impact any of his professional actions or judgments. How do we know? Because he said so. And he would never lie — he assured us of that, too. 2. Strzok wrote that Loudoun County, Virginia, residents are “ignorant hillbillys [sic].” But we learned that Loudoun residents were wrong to take that as disparaging in any way. Strzok was simply partaking in good-natured banter involving the friendly competition between Loudoun and Fairfax County, Virginia, where Strzok lives.

3. Strzok said he could “smell” Trump supporters at a Wal-Mart store. But we learned what he meant was that he could “see” or “hear” Trump supporters at the Wal-Mart. In reality, Strzok totally respects and honors the “millions and millions and millions of Americans … who voted for Mr. Trump.”

What we learned was a confirmation that... Gowdy is one of biggest clowns in DC. He doesn’t DO a damn thing but flap his gums pretending like he is somebody. He has hearing after hearing, corruption exposed, crime after crime after crime pointed out and NOT ONE THING IS EVER DONE. He and all his committee members are nothing more than kabuki dancers on stage for entertainment of the sheeple, distraction or misdirection. He and the entire congress are a joke.

Congress would have to do something that looks more like work, if we wanted to see more.

I’m not sure that getting rid of Strzok would go beyond a superficial action. The alphabets that are set up by Congress, if we are to keep them, all need an inspection port through which Congress can see what’s going on inside. That might have to mean making them smaller. A government too big to inspect is too big, period.

Has any committee that Gowdy has been on submitted a criminal referral for ANY of these people?

If Strzok thinks that Loudon Country is Hicksville, then that proves he has not spent much time outside the confines of DC.

This is a great article, and the progressive commenters are a scream! Not one of them even attempts to answer any of Atkisson’s points; they just snort, name-call, and try to attack Trump.
