Strzok: FBI-Bias Probe Will ‘Tear Down Underpinnings’ of ‘Law & Order’
National Review ^ | 7/12/2018 | JACK CROWE

Posted on 07/12/2018 8:59:30 PM PDT by Beave Meister

Embattled FBI agent Peter Strzok suggested during an open hearing Thursday that the ongoing congressional investigation into political bias within the FBI would severely damage the institution of American law enforcement.

“This entire exercise comes at a cost,” said Strzok, who was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. “We are doing things that are going to, in the future, tear down the underpinnings of what represents law and order in this country. And there is not a robust, thick wall there. I think people don’t appreciate how tenuous the balance of the rule of law verses chaos is.”

The veteran FBI agent then appeared to conflate the ongoing congressional investigation into political bias within the agency to more general attacks on law enforcement, such as the characterization of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers as “Nazis” by some on the far left.

“When we as a people engage in activity where we take the institutions wholesale, whether its the FBI or the U.S. intelligence community, and compare them to Nazis, we destroy things that we may not see for years and years. Once we break those down the amount of time it’s going to take to fix is going to be tenfold.”

I don’t know about everyone else but I lost all faith in the FBI after seeing such an arrogant prick in such a high position. My confidence is gone after seeing the people who were in charge of these agencies. They are a pathetic bunch of losers who belong in prison.

“Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!”

I like that line.

I know if I end up on a jury in the future, and any of the evidence was touched by the FBI, I’m voting to acquit.

I suspect a whole lot of you will do the same.

Today Issa told Maria Bartiromo that “nothing will happen” to Strzok, and he’ll “get away with it”. “He won’t be prosecuted.”

In a way, maybe it’s good he’ll be out there walking the streets. It’ll make it easier for us to taunt him as the libs have done to Trump’s staff as they’re out and about, living their lives, and tending to business.

What’s really sad? If someone actually had knowledge of a true threat would it do any good to turn it over to these dipsh*ts?

They’re obviously more interested in carrying out the Democrat playbook and anything that might be helpful to the current administration wouldn’t even show up on their radar.

I would never give them the time of day.

I used to think there was some law against attempting to interfere with the outcome of an election. I’ve heard it often. Googled it, but found nothing. I guess it isn’t “a thing”.

Yikes! I watched the entire hearing, and the pass this guy is getting from practically everyone in the media demonstrates the frightening degree to which even our elected representatives fear the FBI.

I mean he is obviously a sociopath at the highest levels of power, and people complain about politicians like Trump, or representatives that they don’t like or disagree with. Hell at least they were all elected.

Guys like Strozk wield power in many ways greater than the president AND OBVIOUSLY greater than Congress.

The cockroaches are complaining because we've turned the light on in the kitchen.
For sure the whole “Russia, Russia, Russia” cabal - Peter Strzok not least - never cared, if they did know. It’s a bit late to worry about that now.
