“I agree, with the exceptions of Radcliffe and Gowdy. They seemed prepared for this circus. “
Yeah.....kinda.
But only one level deep. They (Radcliffe & Gowdy-—I did not hear Radcliffe, only Gowdy) *DID* manage to fall into a couple of Dem traps they did not foresee very well. And I found that disappointing. Not Darrell Issa disappointing but disappointing nonetheless. I hope they can deliver the goods. Strzoks’ explanations for “no bias” were beyond ludicrous; but it is not a matter of ridiculing your deponent (questionee) —— you have to induce them to contradict themselves within their answers; and not with a 4-layer conundrum like Gowdy thinks he’s really clever putting together. For example, Gowdy never asked “how can an unbiased investigator fail to question the primary suspect in a criminal investigation?” Or perhaps”except in cases where the prime suspect was later found dead or could not be located, have you ever conducted or heard of an investigation where suspect #1 was not questioned?”
Changing the wording “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless” I have always thought was perfectly meaningless from a probative standpoint. So asking Strzok when he did that is just asking to be driven off into the weeds with an entirely plausible “I don’t recall”. That, therefore, is not a skillful line of questioning. As far as I am concerned.
But even then FakeNews would not run the soundbite.
Yes.. It looks like Amateur Hour.. The Dems are ridiculous liars.. The Republicans are frustrated, angry.. and letting the Leftists get the best them. Total disappointment!
I read a legal analysis after Comey tried to explain why Hillary was not being indicted. The analysis said “extreme carelessness’” was not a standard for excusing mishandling classified information. That Hillary should have been indicted and that it was clear.
On that basis I have argued her to the point of being a ranter, that all Trump had to do was have sessions use Comey’s report and throw in the destruction of evidence and having unauthorized file servers and dicta her. She would be in her second year od prison by now.
