The STRZOK line that will *infuriate* House Republicans:

[kpete]

Strzok will also emphasize that he was one of very few people who knew the details of the Russia investigation, which had the potential to destroy Trump’s candidacy — but leaking it “never crossed my mind.”

“I truly believe that today’s hearing is just another victory notch in Putin’s belt and another milestone in our enemies’ campaign to tear America apart.”

1. I was initially irritated with him for being dumb

and texting to his girlfriend.

Now I think he should be the presidential nominee in 2020.

[OnDoutside]

2. Why ?

[populistdriven]

3. cuz he's righteous nt

[Lulu KC]

6. Because he knows the truth and he's talking

OK--yes, too bad they didn't want to "politicize" the investigation before the elections. Bad move. While being quite open about HRC's problems.

Still. Grasping at straws here for oxygen.

[lostnfound]

19. Yes. The REPUBLICAN nominee for 2020.

Seriously, the Republican Party is sick and twisted, traitorous; the country needs a stuffy, stable and patriotic party for its rightwing. Not this insane group of compromised liars.

[Lulu KC]

21. I could survive that n/t

[OnDoutside]

4. I want Dems to ask him to read out what he texted about all the other

Leaders. We only hear about the Trump ones.

[populistdriven]

5. I keep forgetting foxnews is dns blocked at my router

[HipChick]

8. Sweet...

[riversedge]

7. OUCH.

[DownriverDem]

9. Follow the money

When are we going to hear that russian money found its way into repub campaign coffers? Money went to the NRA. Did the NRA funnel it to repub campaigns?

[rgbecker]

11. Yes!

[Achilleaze]

10. republicans are so submissive to their russian moneybuck bagmen

disgustingly traitorous.

[forgotmylogin]

12. It'd be like if in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS:

FBI AGENT: "Well, Clarice Starling claims he skins his humps and wants to take him down. That obviously shows she is biased against Mr. Buffalo Bill. We're going to have to remove her from the case. And apparently also we'll need shut the whole thing down...darn it, we could have caught him if we hadn't just been so biased about his criminal activity!"

[Pepsidog]

13. Let's see the texts from Nunes and staff and find out what these traitors are really up to.

[muntrv]

14. Didn't his text messages say Strzok supported Ohio Governor Kasich for POTUS?

[lostnfound]

18. That was his only semi positive comment, yes

[neohippie]

16. You know what this tells us? Trump should have been in jail 30 years ago

That's how long he's been breaking laws and abusing our system. That's how long the feds have been watching him.

And yet, he's gotten away with this shit for so long now.
They just sat back and watched him ruin our country. I find this news appalling.

[B Stieg]

17. Watching Trey Gowdy badger

is making me sick!
Can only take his lying and dissembling in short bursts.
Strzok is correct.

[George II]

20. My jaw dropped when I heard that. And then his lecture at the end of Gowdy's "speech"....

....was equally stunning.

I hope I can find a transcript of that later today.
