Strzok started out by calling this hearing "another notch in Putin's belt." Then after being harassed at length by Gowdy, he gave a powerful and passionate defense of the FBI and explained how Gowdy's inferences were utter nonsense due to the bureaucratic structure of the FBI.

with Goodlatte just ignoring rules on motions and appeals and whatnot.

They are currently voting on tabling an appeal of Goodlatte's refusal to recognize a request from the Democrats to bring Bannon back in to answer questions that were not answered (and without them holding him in contempt for that in the same manner they are threatening to do with Strozk).

(the FBI agent who bashed Trump). Dems at the meeting were constantly shut up and shot down.

After Gowdy piled on, vastly exceeding his time with permission of the chair, Strozk gave a rousing speech that got applauded.

...because there will be too many "guilty" posters to fit in portrait mode.

I get so pissed watching these things. My hand wants to reach out and smack Gowdy (and every forked tongue of the others) aside the head. Hard!!!

He nailed all those faux-patriots with their Fearless Leader's abysmal, abominable, disgustingly deplorable attacks on the Gold Star parents whose son had died in service to our country.

"we'll stop it" (Trump's election) comment. The American people would stop it after Trump smeared a Gold Star family and their dead son.

98% of the right's case, of course, is a claim that he was referring to the FBI.

All honest observers were forced to realize long ago that the FBI could only be working to elect Republicans. But when trumpsters have already abandoned intellect, truth, morals, ethics, decency, even the precepts of their religion, what's debt of gratitude?

Because he just said he didn't mean the FBI, and he would know what he meant, not them.

So, basically they've got nothing and we've now seen what a real witch hunt looks like.
