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.
