Really liking your link so I will repost it here:

I am pressed for time so I’m reading through the Youtube transcript of the video and I know that I’m going to end up watching excerpts just based on the intrigue factor.
I wasn’t aware that Strzok was still asserting during the hearing that he was not present under a subpoena and therefore was not legally obligated to answer the questions presented to him. I knew in the run-up to the hearing, Strzok volunteered to attend specifying no subpoena was necessary, and the committee responded by issuing a subpoena; I just didn’t realize how he tried to use that (video 5:28 mark) “I do not believe I am here under subpoena. I believe I am here voluntarily.”
Seems a ridiculous ruse; the FBI (or anyone else in government) would never have to answer questions regarding oversight and accountability if they just made sure to insist they volunteered to attend the hearing(s). Bill Clinton wouldn’t have “had” to resort to, “It depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is.”
From the video transcript (9:02 mark) “...it is their unremitting obligation to respect the dignity of the Congress and its committees and to testify fully with respect to matters within the province of proper investigation.” Well there’s the problem right there; throughout testimony Strzok made sure to communicate with weird sociopathic body language and (1000 yard stare) eye contact that he had contempt for those he deemed inferior to him (i.e., congress, their committees, and the American public).
Some favorites:
At the 18:12 mark, Strzok says, “Mr. Gowdey as I’ve stated that text was written late at night in shorthand...” And Gowdy replies, “I don’t care when it was read. I don’t care whether it was a long-hand cursive. I don’t care about any of that.” Strzok really has to have complete contempt for the rule of law, and the expectations of the public he claims to serve, to offer such a series of pathetic “Dog ate my homework!” excuses when asked to account for his actions. And that’s all he had through the rest of the video - pathetic in-your-face insults to intelligence instead of answers.
At the 27:41 mark, after Stzork bristles saying “I don’t appreciate...”, Gowdy replies, “ I don’t give a damn
what you appreciate, Agent Stzok. I don’t appreciate having an FBI agent with an unprecedented level of animus working on two major investigations during 2016.”
Thanks for the link!
Great analysis and excerpts.
What everyone seems to be missing is that STrok was sworn in. That means the truth, only the truth. I don’t think there’s enough bandwith on the whole wide web to catalog his lies.
Welcome back, Bagster! Did the file in the cake I sent you help ya out?!
