It seems Fox News did not show the most important - moment of testimony of Peter Strzok Posted: Jul 13th, 2018 - 7:13 am
Allow me to enlighten you here. It was an amazing speech by an eloquent and highly articulate FBI patriot:
__________
Speaking publicly about the text during the hearing, Strzok explained that it was sent the night that Trump disparaged Khizr Khan, a Gold Star father who lost his son in Iraq, and that it was “off the cuff” comment sent late at night that he didn’t even recall. He gave an impassioned defense, arguing that his beliefs never impeded the investigation into Russian meddling because his FBI colleagues wouldn’t have allowed it.
Key moment: Strzok gave a long explanation for the text:
“Sir, I think it’s important, when you look at those texts that you understand the context in which they were made and the things that were going on across America.
“In terms of the texts that — 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.
“And my presumption based on that horrible, disgusting behavior, that the American population would not elect somebody demonstrating that behavior to be President of the United States.
“It was in no way, unequivocally, any suggestion that me, the FBI, would take any action, whatsoever, to improperly impact the electoral process for any candidate. So, I — I take great offense and I take great disagreement to your assertion of what that was or wasn’t. As to the 100 million to one, that was clearly a statement made in jest and using hyperbole.
“I, of course, recognize that millions of Americans were likely to vote for candidate Trump. I acknowledge that is absolutely their right. That is what makes our democracy such a vibrant process that it is.
“But to suggest, somehow, that we can parse down the words of shorthand textual conversation like they’re some contract for a car is — is, simply, not consistent with my or most people’s use of text messaging.”

Please watch the link below. His testimony wiped the floor with the likes of Louis Gohmert and Trey Gowdy. What a sad spectacle this was, Republicans appeared to have gotten their marching orders from Putin to shield Trump at all costs and avoid any discussion of the real issue - which is the interference of Russia in our elections and no actions being taken to stop it happening again. Absolutely disgusting.
Okay, the link does not appear to be working, so if you care to watch, it is here:
