[FROM JULY 2018]
FBI official Peter Strzok on Thursday said in sworn testimony to the House Judiciary Committee that the salacious Trump-Russia dossier is not why the FBI launched its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
Republican Rep. Ron DeSantis of Florida asked Strzok, "The dossier. Was the dossier a part of why you opened up the investigation?"
Strzok, without hesitating, replied, "No."
DeSantis then said, "So, the dossier was not part of it. That's important."
The FBI launched its Russia probe in July 2016, looking into whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in its election interference. Trump and his allies have contended the investigation is a "witch hunt" inspired by the dossier, but Strzok's comments on Thursday directly contradict this assertion.

More back peddling BS from Strzok.
Lying to Congress?
Lock HIM up!!
Lying to Congress?
Lock HIM up!!
Good grief.
The dossier wasn’t the WHY.
It was the How.
The Why is “Because she lost!”
Who ordered Strzok to lie to Congress?
OOPS!
But then, it does bear repeating.
:)!
I mean, because she was losing.
“If the dossier is real... Trump could face blackmail. “
Yeah. And if Obama was born in Kenya then he could have faced blackmail.
Putin took our Uranium then did NOTHING to help Hillary win. Typical Russian stunt.
BECAUSE Russia failed to help Hillary win, Hillary and her Deep State decided to embarrass Russia by IMPLICATING them in colluding with Trump to win the election, hence the nonstop 24/7 'Trump-Russia collusion' MEDIA CIRCUS!!!
Better than most theories, eh?
DeSantis asked Strzok, “The dossier. Was the dossier a part of why you opened up the investigation?”
Strzok replied, “No.”

Actually, I think Strzok replied truthfully. Obviously, the reason he opened the investigation is his hatred for Trump.
INCREDIBLE
The same guy who could smell Trump supporters and thought hildabeast should win 100 million to nothing.
Not bad!! ;-)
BULLSEYE! You get the cigar!
Of course not. (smirk) It was because the left couldn’t handle losing; especially to Donald J. Trump.
Good point
