Peter Strzok Refuses To Answer Gowdy’s First Question, And All HELL Breaks Loose

If you didn’t watch Rep. Trey Gowdy’s opening statement, you should really do that. I’ll wait.

Strzok denied any wrongdoing in his opening statement.

In fact, he expressed his disappointment in the entire hearing by essentially saying that it was “just another victory notch in Putin’s belt.”

Then the line of questioning began. Gowdy kicked it off. Predictably, Strzok said he couldn’t answer any questions that involved the investigation into alleged Russian meddling.

There was a huge ordeal. Rep. Goodlatte told Strzok he (Strzok) had no valid legal basis for not answering the question and warned him that he could be held in contempt.

Anyone else watching the Democrats on the House Judiciary making a joke of the FBI Agent Peter Strzok hearing.
Strzok should be held in contempt and Rep Nadler should be disciplined.

I just…what in the world? What WAS that?

To top it all off, Strzok denied having any bias, which is HILARIOUS. Democrats are desperately cheering him on, and it’s so obvious.

Strozk: What I can tell you, is that text in no way suggested that I or the FBI would take any action to influence the candidate.

Rep. Gowdy: That is a fantastic answer to a question nobody asked. https://t.co/3x4HT39ijx pic.twitter.com/roXw3bNPR0

Peter Strzok: "'We will stop it.' You need to understand that that was written late at night off the cuff and it was in response to a series of events that included then-candidate Trump insulting the immigrant family of a fallen war hero." pic.twitter.com/sF9fSDaKDt

To make matters worse, Democrats CHEERED after he responded. For real.

Strzok is such a weasel, and Gowdy– along with the rest of America– sees right through him.

This entire hearing is a sh*tshow. Democratic lawmakers are acting like petty little kids, and we’re over it.
