1. Will watch it later - thanks

[PaulX2]

13. Gowdy Had To Go Change His Underwear I Presume

I see why Peter wanted to volunteer to testify.

[Leghorn21]

2. Can you imagine speaking so eloquently and fiercely without reading from a script?!???

Holy shit, not me!!!!

WOW

[Hstch05]

20. Well...

He's had months to plan this. I'm sure he's rehearsed it in the shower, during his commute. I'm just impressed at the restraint he showed.

[The Wizard]

22. The Committee Chair

was obviously reading from a script.

[NY_20th]

3. I saw that live. :)

Trey looked like a raving lunatic.

[hlthe2b]

4. I just posted after watching and realizing who is Gowdey's doppelganger!

Peter Strzok was terrific there. I am so glad he got in the disgusting behavior of Trump toward Khzir Khan.

[Bob Loblaw]

11. I lean more toward

the banjo playing kid as his match. And he changes his hair more than anyone I've ever seen.

[calimary]

17. Nope. Zippy the Pinhead.

5. Gowdy looks slack jawed and stupid.

It looks like he is trying to display contempt, but it comes off as vacuous. The Republicans will fall back to "playing the refs". That is their only play here. They rarely if ever, have anything worthwhile to say on a policy or even ideological level so they revert back to complaining about the process (that they control) and arguing that anyone but themselves are to blame for the current state of affairs.

10. The man is bizarre - yet another different hairdo and color, and he forgot to shave this morning.

[Ponietz]

35. He looks stoned, maybe on benzos, too.

Any DREs here?

[Pacifist Patriot]

6. I think we've got a taste of why the GOP doesn't want the transcript released. LOL!

[calimary]

19. Same reason why trump still refuses to release his tax returns.

If everything in there was on the up ‘n’ up, he’d tease their release toward a big splashy prime time reveal, days in advance, like he has with his Supreme Court picks.

We all know why you won’t cough ‘em up, Donald.

Transparency in s NOT his friend, any more than it’s the GOPers’ friend as they desperately try to distract from, and cover up, their own failures.

7. Meanwhile

thousands of Trumpists run to google 'hyper bowley'

[LudwigPastorius]

8. Go home, Trey Trey.

And, put some salve on that burnt ass!

[George II]

9. He beat down every one of those butt heads. That was a GREAT job by him, and he's got....

....cojones made of cast iron.

[blue neen]

12. My oh my. That was a thing of beauty to watch.

Awesome.

[WinstonSmith4740]

14. Have been watching it.

But just turned it off to watch Colbert from last night. I'm trying to eat, and I just couldn't do it watching and listening to the hypocrisy of the damned Trumpists. Funny how Gowdy could rant for as long as he wanted, but Dems were sure as hell held to time limits. Really good to see someone stand up to them. They got too used to Democrats behaving like doormats, and they don't know how to handle it when their own tactics are used against them. Gowdy looked like a deer in the headlights.

However, when are the Dems, journalists, pundits, etc., going to counter that damned "the American people elected Trump" bullshit??? NO, WE DIDN'T. A method of counting votes, unique to electing the president, put him in power, with the help of Putin.

[Fritz Walter]

15. I almost wish that Gowdy Doody would run again...

Just to watch his opponent play this clip over and over and over again in TV campaign ads.

Almost, but not quite.

[3catwoman3]

16. BAM!!!

I say again, BAM!!!

Well said, sir.

[BeatStanford]

18. I can't wait until even his side piece smacks down Gowdy and crew (eom)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Wow, indeed. Gowdy & RepubliCons got clobbered by the truth. But they work to ignore the truth. . nt

[louis-t]

24. How come I can never get these to play?

[LisaM]

30. Try a different browser. I couldn't play it in IE.

Chrome worked just fine.

[louis-t]

31. Ohhhh, I'll try it.

Thanks.

[mobeau69]

25. Strzok equals Mike Tyson in his prime.

Gowdy = The HS smart ass kid at the gym.

[AZ8theist]

26. Gowdy, Jordan and Goodlatte

ARE ALL GIANT FUCKING ASSHOLES.

No wonder why congress is viewed favorably by less than 19% of the country.

TRAITORS TO AMERICA:

1. DOTARD
2. Gowdy
3. Jordan
4. Goodlatte

Also a traitor but too stupid to know it, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.

[JDC]

27. Prior to this, Gowdy was trying to parse the sarcasm in Strzok's text.

It was a complete joke and an embarrassment to those chambers and the American people. It will definitely be the "strong point" focused on by Fox for their masses of complete dumbasses itching for an excuse as to why they are not dumbasses. "100 million to ZERO?!, So you did not think 1 person would vote for Donald Trump? Not 1?!!, what if we divided that by 10, is it still zero?!"

Seriously, it is such a farce.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

28. This getting some international attention - Great!

Good summary article from the UK:
FBI agent rejects GOP allegations of anti-Trump bias in contentious hearing

Peter Strzok testifies that anti-Trump texts he traded with an FBI lawyer in the run-up to the 2016 election reflected personal views that he never acted on

Link: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jul/12/peter-strzok-hearing-fbi-agent-trump-bias-latest

(snip)

“Let me be clear, unequivocally and under oath,” Strzok said in his opening statement, “not once in my 26 years of defending my nation did my personal opinions impact any official action I took.”

.......... ...........

[sellitman]

29. Gowdy is a horses ass.

What makes these GOP Bastards so downright nasty?

Is it a learned trait or genetic?

Wow!

[d_r]

32. Mr. Gowdy

Looks like old Draco Malfoy

[ehrnst]

33. Aaron Sorkin is likely watching that blistering, dramatic testimony

and thinking, "I wish I had scripted that."

Bravo, Agent Strzok.

[Gore1FL]

34. I almost expected The West Wing theme to start when he finished! nt
