Aaaaaaaaand we're back! (Strzok afternoon hearing)

[nolabear]

Seventy two people left to ask questions. It’s gonna be a looooooong afternoon.

[spanone]

1. at least they're getting the smelliest shit out first....darrell issa

[FarPoint]

2. Hillary did it...

Eleven hours! Didn't miss a beat...She set the example .

[BumRushDaShow]

13. He actually did an earlier "private" 11 hour session to the committees too

and that is the transcript that Democrats are demanding be released in full... I think the Democrats were talking about releasing it later this afternoon (5 pm ET?).

[Satch59]

3. Ugh...such a POS...

Saying he's a target...which is not true...

Go to hell Issa!!

[madamesilverspurs]

4. Yeah, I'd almost forgotten

how smug and smarmy Issa is.


.

[janx]

5. How can they spend so much time beating this guy up

about some private texts?

This is insane! Do the people beating him up realize how transparent they are?

[nolabear]

7. Of course they do. They just want to undermine the investigation.

[Satch59]

6. And when he starts saying the context of texts,

Issa turns away, that other idiot Duncan walked out of the room...they are so effing rude and can't handle any truth.

[nolabear]

9. I'm so glad Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee called that out!

Walking out and turning away says it all doesn’t it?

[Le Gaucher]

8. They are threatening him with contempt of congress !

[nolabear]

10. I must say I'm enjoying watching his lawyer's face.

He occasionally telegraphs his pleasure when the Democrats score a point.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. That's how many are on this "joint" hearing (both Oversight + Judiciary committeees)

but I expect that not all will ask questions. The seats for the members are mostly empty right now...

[nolabear]

12. Oh look. The enabler is up. Boy do I wish he could say

“Oh NOW you want to ask questions!”

[demmiblue]

14. It is soooo infuriating that they really don't want to understand or know the truth.

[a kennedy]

15. Blah, Jordan.......

dog and pony show......

[demmiblue]

16. This is a long 15 seconds (Gowdy).

[nolabear]

17. God I wish someone would shut him up!

There is no point to this bullshit whatsoever.

[demmiblue]

18. Except to obfuscate.

I can't stand him. Thank goodness the Dems are up.

[nolabear]

19. Oh for FUCK'S sake, Gohmert!!!

He is beyond disgusting. He should be thrown the hell out of there.

[demmiblue]

20. Holy shit, Gohmert is going off the rails!

Dem Rep. (?): "You are off your medication!"

[nolabear]

21. I missed that. But that was unbelievably disgusting.

Gohmert needs to be thrown out of there.

[demmiblue]

22. It is appalling... I feel sick to my stomach. n/t

[janx]

23. Are they going to try to hold this guy in contempt of Congress?

Goodlatte threatened to do that earlier.

[nolabear]

24. I suspect it was posturing and intimidation. They don't have cause.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. There is a dispute about whether his current testimony was due to a subpoena

Goodlatte insists "yes" and Strzok insists "no". That would make a difference regarding "contempt".

Per CNN (Goodlatte is full of shit) -

Attorney: Strzok may not comply with House subpoena

By Marc Rod, CNN

Updated 5:24 AM ET, Wed July 4, 2018

<...>

Strzok was interviewed last week for 11 hours, behind closed doors in both unclassified and classified settings, after House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte initially slapped him with a subpoena to testify last month, although the two sides ultimately agreed to a voluntary interview and the subpoena was withdrawn.

26. I love DU

It's like watching the hearings with a few hundred good friends

[Vinca]

27. Wow - that last lady was amazing. Forget her name, but she sure didn't mince words.

[nolabear]

28. I believe she's the one who asked if Gohmert was off his meds.

29. Who needs butter? I got plenty!
