The GOP is accomplishing what they set out to do w/ this hearing

The way I see it based on searching twitter for "Peter Strzok" and you'll see people are basically seeing in this hearing what they want to see. Alot of tweets saying Strzok had bias, is lying, even should be locked up in Gitmo. Its my opinion that the GOPisnt covering for Trump at this point as they are covering for themselves. They need to keep their base in line to maintain the power the so desperately want to control. If Trump goes down, many of them will go down with him. If they can muddy the waters enough with BS hearings like this to make it seem like their might actually be conspiracies at foot working against the conservative movement, well even if something comes out, its up to them to stand up and fight. You dont hear words like "debate" tossed around in conservative circles anymore, its "fight". Today they are discrediting a possible witness while demonstrating to the base they are fighting for conservatives against the global cabal trying to bring them down. Nothing more.

These GOP deplorables have everything to lose if they lose face as they are doing today.

The positive tweets are most likely legit.

Actually, it has backfired on the GOP.

this must backfire or we're doomed. if this openness of obstruction is continued to be allowed we are headed for dark times indeed.

If the Dems retake the House, they will actually have substantive evidence to hold hearing about. And watch the right wing snowflakes whine about the cost of the dem investigations.
