Hearing begins at 10AM EST:

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.”

I’ll bet he sailed into jobs with the corrupt segment of the government with ease considering his family ties.

I don't hold out much hope for Danny Tarkanian. He isn't well thought of here. Not sure why other than people seem to think he's trying to ride his daddy's coattails.

Finally someone brought up all these texts being done on company phones on company time!

Working in DC should be an honor all Americans can share... It should not a sinecure for people who believe they've become royalty... part of the ‘Court of Elites’.

A 'Royal Court of Elites' is what we have now and it's wrong.

All Government and Civil Service Jobs in Washington DC should be ‘term limited’ to six years. Rotated.

That change would allows many Americans to serve their nations - - serve without forming delusions of be ‘masters of the people rather than servants of the people.

This change would not only clean up DC it would also allow for fresh ideas to blow through our capital.

Yes. He’s actually mocking Dickhead’s words and throwing them back in his face. Unfortunately, Strzok’s just ignoring him and not looking like he’s going to have a coronary, like he did when Gowdy was interviewing him.

Now accusing people of “spinning” against him. What a sick, narcissistic jack-off - and what an embarrassment to think that THIS kind of idiot has been working at high levels in the FBI.

Remember when they were holding up posters of Trump associates who were 'guilty' in the back of the conference room?

Well, it turns out, they just released Manaforts' mugshot.

Another amazing coincidence:

I'm waiting for this disgusting, arrogant, loud, repulsive, lying Peter Strzok to break into Jack Nicholson's "A Few Good Men" here: "You can't handle the truth!!"

That's funny....

He said it was basically bad wording. He said he could have used the words saw or heard instead of smell. Liar.

It set Strzok up beautifully. Even Strzok knew a punch line was coming, you could see it in his face.
