Live Coverage: Peter Strzok Questioned by Members of Congress
House lawmakers are poised to question Peter Strzok on Thursday in what is sure to be a lengthy, tense standoff between Republicans and the FBI agent who once worked on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference.
Strzok has been in Republicans' sights for several months after a Justice Department inspector general investigation revealed that he exchanged text messages before the 2016 election that were critical of Donald Trump with Lisa Page, a former FBI lawyer with whom he was having an affair at the time.
Mueller promptly removed Strzok from the Russia investigation when the messages were revealed, but Republicans have zeroed in on him as key to uncovering what they allege was systemic FBI bias against Trump during the election. Democrats, meanwhile, have cast the effort as a politically-driven charade.
Lawmakers questioned Strzok behind closed doors late last month — now, those on the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees will have the opportunity to question him publicly.
Strzok is under subpoena to testify before the committees in the public hearing.
Strzok plans to call scrutiny ‘another notch in Putin’s belt’
8:30 a.m.
Strzok reportedly plans to tell lawmakers that the focus on his anti-Trump text messages is aiding Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Associated Press, which reviewed prepared remarks Strzok is expected to deliver, reported that the FBI agent will defend himself against the intense scrutiny from GOP lawmakers by saying his work has been free of political bias.
“Let me be clear, unequivocally and under oath: not once in my 26 years of defending my nation did my personal opinions impact any official action I took,” Strzok will say, according to the AP.
He is expected to tell lawmakers that Congress’s focus on his actions and text messages “is just another victory notch in Putin’s belt and another milestone in our enemies’ campaign to tear America apart.”
ETC...
a jury would see right through stroz bs samll bits sound good but overall demeanor and responses indicate his true bias and self protection to me.

The idea I've heard for the Republicans would be for all of them to yield to Gowdy. Strzok would be fun to watch then!
.. not to mention he looks he has a stick up his ass.
Thanks for that info., Fatima.
Hopefully Jordan will beat the crap out of his pompous attitude. I know if I were sitting on that committee those are the Questions I would hit him over the head with.
Please spare us the sactamony Mr. Strzok, 5 lead Administrators at the HEAD of the FBI, including the Director who ILLEGALLY leaked material to the press and LIED to Congress. EVERYONE above you were Fired! Plus several of your co conspirators. You have been sent home, can’t even enter the FBI Facilities and WERE removed from the Mueller SC. Those that weren’t, were transfered to non critical positions until internal investagations could be completed.
Hardly a Institution of Integrety...atleast on the 7th floor.
It’s time to end the FBI - if Peter Strzok is ‘the norm’... split the FBI up and re-purpose the traitors...
*************
Its time for President Trump to step up and get control over what is becoming an unaccountable fourth branch of government under his control by cleaning house. There is a mountain of evidence to support and justify this necessary action by him. He promised to drain the Swamp. This would be a good start and would go a long way toward stopping the corruption and the political weaponization of agencies like the FBI, DOJ and even the IRS.
EXCELLENT
I hope they have ALL day, as Strozk tires he'll make mistakes once unscripted.
“I do not have bias.” -Peter Strzok
Lol!
He said that with a straight face.
The lying, arrogance and just plain filth is UNBELIEVABLE.
So why is Strzok railing on against Russian “interference” when he’s previously insisted he won’t comment on “ongoing investigations”?
Just another RAT shill. RAT idiot Cummings using the opportunity to attack Trump. Strzok happily joining in.
These people (and I use the term loosely) make me sick.
bkmrk
Preferably into fertilizer.
The arrogance is a 30 on a scale of 10. I don’t think I can watch much more.
He’s giving a text book performance in how to be a smug condescending douchebag. Special Agent Eddie Haskell. Unfortunately, a significant portion of the American people lack the discernment of June Cleaver to see through his bullsht.
"You can't handle the truth!!"
This guy is so full of himself that I think he is actually MENTALLY ILL!
No one lies this well unless they are nuts.
I'd like to kick his ass.
Well put.
:)He doesn’t believe what he wrote in his texts.HAHAHA
In his memorized purifying rant, he noted those above and below that were involved in the purityefforts of the FBI.
In making that statement, he correctly impicated other conspirators both above and below him in the FBI. Those noted are included in the 40,000 sealed indictments.
The intense democrat effort to disrupt and delay the hearing is proof absolute that the witness is a serious, very serious, problem for them. His transparent reliance on the advice of a fellow FBI lawyer conspirator is pathetic
