His first public performance shows him to be a partisan weasel of the first order.
The Peter Strzok hearing was a travesty, starting with the fact that he testified as a cocooned, lawyered-up government employee still working for the FBI. It is outrageous that he hasn’t been fired yet. He even still has a security clearance! That alone is proof of the deep state’s hold on certain executive branch agencies. If the FBI keeps its so-so employees close, it keeps its worst employees even closer. That Strzok could huddle with FBI lawyers while stonewalling a Republican-led committee speaks to the corruption of official Washington and the comparative impotence of Republican administrations. Does anybody think an FBI agent who had vowed to “stop” the candidacy of Barack Obama would have lasted a week at his job, let alone over a year, after the discovery of his bias?
The cockiness of Strzok at Thursday’s hearing is a reflection of the immunity that ruling-class mandarins enjoy in liberal Washington. He was testifying from the safety of the deep state and thus knew that he could lie his head off without consequence. How else to explain his unrepentant opening statement, with its blatant anti-Trump special pleading? The statement sounded like it had been written by Rachel Maddow, resting on the lamest and hackiest of MSNBC-style talking points, that “today’s hearing is just another victory notch in Putin’s belt and another milestone in our enemies’ campaign to tear American apart.”

After listening to yesterday’s hearing I could not think of a reason Strzok is still on the FBI payroll.
Or is it impossible to fire a government employee?
“””Wonder if Strzok complied and notified his superiors of his affair with Lisa Page.”””
Karen, the new Rep from Atlanta, questioned him about this and I believe she got him to say no, he had not told his superiors.
Remember lois lerner and kosiken? Both arrogant, defiant liars who got away with their crimes. Don’t let strzok get away with his.
More Of Barack Obama’s True Legacy
Weaponizing our own federal bureaucracies and turning them against America and Americans.
I hate to even use that term, “The Rule of Law”. It has no meaning.
The Clinton's and their ilk have been neck deep in criminality and conspiracy for decades and our so called leaders in government have chosen to remain silent...in essence joining in a criminal conspiracy to hide organized criminal activity.
Our system of government is evaporating before our eyes. How on earth can any reasonable human being see such evidence before them and remain silent? What about the FISA judges that were duped?
I am just beside myself.
More realistic and frightening than any Hollywood conceived sinister villain, The Stroke provided the visible and real - not imaginary - face of evil to millions of Americans.
These images, like other iconic impressions of evil recorded throughout the ages, will define and cement the reputation of hostility & hatred the DS hold towards normal, everyday working citizens.
Trump could hold 100 rallies, release 1000 files, issue hundreds of tweets explaining the situation, and yet he wouldn't come close to the impressions captured of The Stroke. These visages present the real picture, the reminder that those who act under color of authority to terrorize the populace do it with joy, glee and hatred.
Trump had to be very patient to allow the situation that unfolded yesterday to come to full flower. Once seen, the picture of the evil Stroke as the face of the DS can never be erased from memory.
“””The FBI has 35,000 employees and a budget of almost 9 billion they deign to tell us about. Supposedly DOJ campaign contributions went to Clinton by 97% in 2016, with the IRS only going 94%.”””
At the hearing Wisconsin Rep brought up the statistics that in the 2016 election Washington DC and the surrounding counties in Maryland and Virginia voted 90% for Hillary and 10% for Trump.
Maybe the silver lining in this mess is that the corruption in the DC Swamp is being exposed.
It is scary to think how close we got to Hillary being President and none of this garbage now being exposed would have ever seen the light of day.
“””The Stroke provided the visible and real - not imaginary - face of evil”””
I agree with your entire commentary. Peter Strzok has such an evil demeanor.
Strzok reminded of me of Jack Nicholson in ‘The Shining’.
Yep; he among others at the upper levels of the DOJ and FBI need to spend a decade in prison thinking about their traitorous acts against this country and of course stripped of any pension they might have received. This price is cheap compared to what we did with traitors in the old days - death.
This blogger looked into Strzok’s background and this is what he suggests:
Strzok (Strock) is pictured in the link below working for President Clinton in 1996. Strzok was working in the joint Secret Service/CIA task force.
Strzok was 26-years-old at the time. He has never confirmed that he attended the FBI Academy. His first affiliation with the FBI was in 2009. His resume is void of ever working for the FBI as a field agent.

“Strzok reminded of me of Jack Nicholson in ‘The Shining’.”
Except Nicholson was acting.
Strzok got the bad news when he met up with Republicans Louie Gohmert and Devon Nunes.
Keep in mind, Strzok and the rest of the lamebrains left damning evidence laying around, b/c "sure-thing"
Hillary was supposed to sweep it all under the Oval Office rug as she served out Obama's third (vomit) term.
Well if Strzok admitted that as an experienced counter intelligence officer privy to the nation’s secrets, he failed to notify as required his superiors of a potentially compromising extra marital affair, then Wray the FBI Director has no choice but to debrief him and fire him. Frankly they ought to be sure that he no longer has any personal weapons. When the enormity of what he has done finally catches up with him , he is in danger of committing suicide.
The man is a psychopath. Get him off the streets.
Was he?
“””Frankly they ought to be sure that he no longer has any personal weapons. When the enormity of what he has done finally catches up with him””””
At yesterday’s hearing I kept seeing a differing, big, burly guy sitting passively to the back of Strzok’s right side.
Were these guys there to take down Strzok if he were suddenly to go ‘postal’?
Good commentary...
So we are employing lawyers at the FBI, like the one(s) who sat behind Strzok that are defending this piece of trash - yep, the deep state sure is thick as thieves at the FBI. Did you see the guy get all upset at the Congressman asking about how he lied to his wife? That's not how lawyers are supposed to act.
Yet, the average agent fails to speak up where their voices can be heard by the public. Complaining over drinks in a bar is just not the same. I understand they fear loss of a job and a career. But, the FBI can’t fire every agent. An organized movement, like #WalkAway, would offer protection to those who speak out and would reassure those in “fly-over” country that there are men and women with honor trying to do the right thing.
