Hearing begins at 10AM EST:

Live Coverage: Peter Strzok Questioned by Members of Congress

House lawmakers are poised to question Peter Strzok on Thursday in what is sure to be a lengthy, tense standoff between Republicans and the FBI agent who once worked on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference.

Strzok has been in Republicans' sights for several months after a Justice Department inspector general investigation revealed that he exchanged text messages before the 2016 election that were critical of Donald Trump with Lisa Page, a former FBI lawyer with whom he was having an affair at the time.

Mueller promptly removed Strzok from the Russia investigation when the messages were revealed, but Republicans have zeroed in on him as key to uncovering what they allege was systemic FBI bias against Trump during the election. Democrats, meanwhile, have cast the effort as a politically-driven charade.

Lawmakers questioned Strzok behind closed doors late last month — now, those on the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees will have the opportunity to question him publicly.

Strzok is under subpoena to testify before the committees in the public hearing.

Strzok plans to call scrutiny ‘another notch in Putin’s belt’

8:30 a.m.

Strzok reportedly plans to tell lawmakers that the focus on his anti-Trump text messages is aiding Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Associated Press, which reviewed prepared remarks Strzok is expected to deliver, reported that the FBI agent will defend himself against the intense scrutiny from GOP lawmakers by saying his work has been free of political bias.

“Let me be clear, unequivocally and under oath: not once in my 26 years of defending my nation did my personal opinions impact any official action I took,” Strzok will say, according to the AP.

He is expected to tell lawmakers that Congress’s focus on his actions and text messages “is just another victory notch in Putin’s belt and another milestone in our enemies’ campaign to tear America apart.”

“Gohmert just asked Strzok if he had the same grin on his face when he lied to his wife about Lisa Page!!!!!”

Fantastic!

My question for today: “How does your wife feel about your professionalism and honesty after 50,000 emails on government devices with your lover? If she can’t trust you, why should we?”

“I can’t for the life of me see what that Paige woman would have an affair over with this guy. YUCK!”

Perhaps something to do with feeling confident that her dental work is better than his???

That’s Cicilline and he’s as bad if not worse than the rest. Pretty much on par with that hideous Swalwell from San Fran.

The democrat reads a bunch of Never Trumper statements, but none of them were part of the investigation.

"Stroke (was) just asked what is the SMELL of a Trump voter, and I lost connection. Did anyone hear this jerk’s answer?"

__________

(I believe the answer was this way...)

He somehow tried to answer that by saying he was from the northern part of a state, yet the lower part of the state were a much different voting group than his area .......... he was dancing and smirking.

He said he meant nothing about "body smell" just different voting patterns.

STRZOK IS A HUGE SELF-DELUDED PSYCHOPATH.

If he is an example of the DOJ and the FBI ...................... THIS COUNTRY IS DEAD!

I wish I’d seen that.

If a man will cheat on his wife and lie to her, what won’t he lie about?

This guy’s arrogance and ego is going to be his downfall. He thinks he is ABOVE REPROACH, because he saddled his career to all the right corrupt Democrats.

He could very well be right.

Yes, and getting more brazen as the day wears on. Must’ve been pumped up with high fives during the break.

May Strzok have a stroke.

Strzok is so bitter, loud, and arrogant, and self-righteous ...... that I'm waiting for him to explode into one of these Jack Nicholson moments:

"You can't handle the truth!"

Strzok is a psychopath.

Can you imagine what it was like when his poor wife ever asked him why he was out so late at night ............ and had a some woman's underwear in the backseat of the family car?

Love Ed Henry, too!

Be serious: Let’s “stop” Trump was just a “statement of opinion” like a favorite restaurant or something? For a lead FBI agent? https://t.co/4WCbobMi04— Ed Henry (@edhenry) July 12, 2018
