The reality is that this agent handed the republicans on the house committees their a** today. Unfortunately the Republican base only watches Fox News, therefore they will see none of that
Well, well, well, we actually learned something new in this hearing.
The NY office is dirty. During the sixties it was said that the NY FBI was graduates of Fordham and St. Johns trying to put graduates of Yale and Harvard in jail. Nothing has changed.
Need to copy edit this piece, as I was confused by the wording in a couple of places.
Itâs always a big surprise what comes out whenever Fooliani opens his pie hole
Youâve seen the time when that unicorn rode out of itâŚamirite?
Whatever happened with that investigation, I wonder? I recall Comey saying he started an investigation into that comment of Giulianiâs, but had no idea if anything came of it.
Did that drop through the cracks in all the crazy?
Gowdy does a reprise of his Benghazi performance, Jordan does a reprise of his Rosenstein performance, Gohmert does a reprise of Gohmert, . . . the GOP should go to its bench for the next outing.
The great blowhard, in the service of the greatest blowhard of them all, in the very act of âpufferyâ.
Strzok said his remarks gave him âa lot of concern.
â⌠given the things that were going on, given timing that the laptop was there and he was talking about that in the context of a big surprise, it caused me great concern that he had information about that â that he should not have had.â
A great reminder that there is no way Rudy isnât under criminal investigation himself. There is just no way.
Iâm not so sure they didnât see it:
Smart witness. He is doing very well taking the open-ended questions from the Trumpsters and answering with broad, relevant and accurate swipes at Trump and friends. Meanwhile, the Reps get more and more frustrated and go further and further off the rails. Well done. And difficult to do.
***Nice. ButâŚ***âŚ
Sad
Yeah, me too. I hate having to stop and try to figure out what the author is trying to say, then wondering if my assumptions about that are right, when I just want to know what happened.
@tierney, youâre one of my favorite journalists - donât make it so hard for your poor readers!
The Republican base is a lost cause anyway. What matters is that no one who saw this who wasnât already a rabid RWNJ saw anything but an utter failure by the Republicans to prove anything substantial. It was nothing but theater, and very bad theater at that.
It woulda been difficult not to⌠he was so far over the top he couldât even SEE the top.
Plus itâs the talk of the town. How could they possibly stand to miss it? hahahaha
So do they represent the three monkeys
I am finding this sideshow painful to watch. The Republicans are not asking questions; they are making self-serving, blatantly partizan (and often bizarre) pronouncements, and giving him no opportunity to respond. They might as well have a giant photographic cutout sitting in front of them. I think Strozok is doing a fairly good job under impossible circumstances (I certainly could not do half as well), but I am not getting quite the positive feeling I did from Sally Yates, who just radiated competence, intelligence and commitment to our highest ideals. (Maybe part of the problem is that the affair with Page, and the fact that the e-mails do at least superficially appear to be somewhat partizan, does cast some shadows on what might otherwise be a more heroic presentation.) To think that the people who are attacking Strozok are the same people who defend Trump. Rachel Maddow had a very impressive spot on her show last night about Strozok, and I was perhaps unfairly expecting that this would all come off looking somewhat better, but I donât see how he can really set the story straight when they donât want to hear the real story and will hardly even give him a chance to speak?
That wonât be any better for them; these guys are the best they gotâThe cream of the crop. Sad!
