(CNSNews.com) – In an opening statement at a joint hearing by the House Judiciary and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committees, Judiciary Chairman Robert Goodlatte (R-Va.) on Thursday asked Democrats to imagine FBI agent Peter Strzok’s text messages were about them, former President Barack Obama or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“For all those in this room who continue to disparage our investigation as mere conspiracy theory, and for all those who have chosen to ignore serious irregularities and potential crimes that we have uncovered, I say this: Imagine if you were under investigation and the investigator hated you, disparaged you in all manner of ways, and fraternized with another employee working on your case who also hated you, denigrated your supporters, and made crucial investigative decisions on how your case should be treated and eventually adjudicated,” Goodlatte said.

“Would anyone sitting here today believe that this was an acceptable state of affairs, particularly at an agency whose motto is: fidelity, bravery, and integrity. I think not,” he said. “To my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, please replace Trump’s name with your own name in a small sample of things Mr. Strzok has said.

Dems won’t care. They’re as consumed with hate as Strzok and Page and Brennan.

A good number of the Democrat who have not walked away from the DNC have been brainwashed by the liberal media.

Frankly, I never thought so many could be brainwashed so easily.

I grossly underestimated their stupidity.

Words, words, words, words, words. At the end of the day, that’s all these overblown legislators have is words. I don’t understand, since they cannot indict, why they even have these time and money wasting hearings. Other than the fact they get free camera time and maybe a soundbite on cable news. Not that their constituents care.

Criticism of any black politician is racist no matter the circumstance. Criticism of any Democrat is Islamophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, deplorable, smells like Walmart...etc, etc, etc.

Kabuki. At the end of the day, they go together to the same bars and get blind drunk and lay the same Asian ladyboys.

35,000 employees and a budget of almost 9 billion they deign to tell us about tends to make me think the FBI isn’t going to change at this point, it was probably too late 50 years ago to do anything to change it. I bet 90% + of FBI campaign contributions went to Clinton in 2016.

The thing is if a Republican states that I misspoke with respect to abortion or racism they would hammer that statement. Here we have all these text messages and Strzok is saying the words don’t mean what they say.

It is folly to assume the Democrats are being genuine here. They are not. They never ever have been genuine about anything. They know that they are killing babies. Etc. Etc. They know that crimes were committed here. They are covering them up. At this point, their opinions are irrelevant and inadmissable.

Unless the black politician is a Republican.
