Adding to mounting backlash from some lawmakers against criticism of Peter Strzok, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY 8th District) railed against Thursdays hearing about the former FBI agents work, saying it wasnt even worth the an investigation by fictional pet detective Ace Ventura.
This investigation is a joke. Its a fraud, Jeffries said. This hearing is a kangaroo court. It is a three-ring circus. It is not even meritorious of an investigation by Ace Ventura pet detective, let alone 75 members of the United States Congress.
Jeffries contended the hearing was nothing but a distraction tactic to divert attention from Special Counsel Robert Muellers investigation into President Donald Trumps campaign, and possible collusion with Russia during the 2016 election.
My colleagues in the cover up caucus dont like that criminal investigation and, therefore, they need to identify a villain, Jeffries said. Mr. Strzok, tag, youre it.

The Republicans seem a little taken aback that our congresspeople are finally giving back almost as many knuckle sandwiches as they have eaten.
GOOD!!!!!!!!

And I wish that all Republicans lose the ability to lie.
Sorry... Mentioning Ace Ventura reminded me of another character Jim Carrey played... The movie Liar Liar...
But yes it is a kangaroo court. Maybe the USA is a banana Republic?
