Peter Strzok exhibited an astonishing lack of self-awareness

For ten hours Thursday, FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok gave riveting, compelling and, at times, farcical testimony before the House Judiciary and Oversight committees. ...(snipped for excerpt size)

The lowlights included Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas). In a contentious back-and-forth with Strzok, whose well-publicized affair with a colleague resulted in the discovery of damning politically charged text messages, Gohmert questioned Strzok’s fidelity, blasted his “smirk” and condemned his conduct as a “disgrace.”

Gohmert, “How many times did you look so innocent into your wife’s eyes and lie to her?”Not to be outdone were Strzok’s “defense attorneys” — the committees’ Democrats. As if saying “Hold my beer,” here was Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) who lavishly praised the witness before adding this comical, but, for military veterans, highly insulting — pièce de résistance, “If I could give you a Purple Heart, I would.”

The Purple Heart, established in 1782, is America’s oldest military decoration. George Washington awarded the first one. One earns it by being wounded in combat.

Yet, for all the partisan grandstanding, it was Strzok, whose voice most of America had never heard, who delivered the most noteworthy performance.

From his opening statement, a copy of which the Associated Press obtained a day prior, Strzok came out swinging. He fidgeted, appeared uncomfortable, but there was perceptible defiance in his voice as he plodded through his opening remarks.

Parroting Democratic talking points, he dismissed the proceedings as “just another notch in Putin’s belt” — because, as you know, congressional oversight of the FBI is such a “victory” for the Kremlin.

His testimony devolved into a laughable defense of the indefensible. His perpetually smug countenance disappeared, at times, when GOP lawmakers questioned the blatant political bias of his text-message exchanges with former FBI attorney Lisa Page.

“Clearly he didn’t realize that his facial expressions made him look like a homo.”

They also make him look like a murderer.

"I’d say he is fully aware- but like most democrats doesn’t know the meaning of the word shame- He plain doesn’t care that he’s a bold-faced liar because he knows these hearings will likely go nowhere- Democrats are immune to the moral behavior- they know they should be truthful- but nope- they have crossed the line and decided they will walk in immorality instead!"

“You wonder if there was some really weird stuff between him and Page in the sack.”

Dog and pony show?

[Grampa Dave]

Agreed, he’s a 22 year veteran of the FBI and had many supervisors throughout that time.

I’d think at least some of them knew or at least suspected this guy is a psycho.

If they didn’t, they should not be part of the FBI or DOJ!

[MayflowerMadam]

You’re thinking flatulence. Could be hemorrhoids.

The smart ass acted exactly like Strzok, too...

The term I heard for this is “perfect possession”, from the late Malachi Martin. Basically it refers to a human being willingly hosting one or more demon spirits.

The end result is of course far from perfect. Demons aren’t strong on self-awareness.

Cheers!

It was disappointing to read that Strzok may not be charged with anything and worse, that he may not be separated from the FBI.

What does it take to be fired from the government?

I really don’t want to know.

[TADSLOS]

Strzok is the poster boy of every SES in D.C.

Arrogant.

Insolent.

Embedded like a Tick.

[Elsie]

One I am familiar with.

I’ve sat and watched the clips of the hearing several times. Strzok is mentally screwed-up. This Page-gal probably woke up at some point and began to realize that Strzok is a bit weird, and she was ‘used’ by the guy. While in the military, I saw officers like this that eventually got taken to the clinic and a mental exam laid out the exit path for them. I don’t see how he stays in the FBI. If he has to supervise people....it just wouldn’t work. He’d compromise virtually every case that he’s given.
