    Ivanka and her TREMENDOUS legs made an appearance. I couldn't get a screen grab. She was in and out.

    My favorite part of the testimony today is Strozk unable to remember Obama's statement about having more flexibility after his re-election to a Russian official AND his inability to remember Obama telling Romney in a Presidential debate that "the 80's called and wanted their foreign policy back" when referring to Russia being the number one Geo Political threat.

    Mine is when he claimed he didn't remember sending the 'we will stop trump' text then proceeded to explain what every word of it meant and why he sent it.

    Or when he tried to claim that he doesn't have to answer questions, despite being subpoenaed by Congress, because he said he'd come voluntarily. Not how it works Peter.

    It would've been better for the GOP if they kept this behind closed doors and just leaked the parts of the transcript that helped their narrative. This **** is embarrassing.

    You never want to have a witness controlling the questioning like that -- Strzok was prepared and on point -- well done.

    Sure, and I think if Trump was in Strzok's position I would hope any case he was involved with would be thrown out as a result of Trump's potential contamination of the case. Wouldn't you?

    Much like Obama before him, if Trump wasn't elected president there's no chance in hell he could ever get the security clearance required.

    On advice from FBI counsel, Strzok refused to answer questions wrt to an ongoing FBI investigation.

    Prior to Strzok's Congressional testimony, FBI counsel met with all parties to let them know what type of questions were out-of-bounds. The first question from Rep. Trey Gowdy was clearly and purposely out-of-bounds (how many people Strzok interviewed in the first week of the federal Russia probe?) House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte , who was overseeing the hearing, stepped in and threatened contempt*.

    SMH, you really aren't following along now are you? Is US Senator an elected office or is it a job you are given?

    Take your time so that you don't hurt yourself and think this one out.

    If you are elected to an office you are given clearance that in many cases you wouldn't be able to get otherwise.

    Henceforth, we can say that Gowdy got Strzoked...just like Liston.

    Because everyone on the left thinks it's perfectly acceptable for anyone to meddle in the elections as long as it is against Trump.

    Doesn't mean the ****er was lying 100% of the time today, which he was, because he kept contradicting himself.

    Elaborate?

    Oh do you mean using a legal private investigating service that hired a former British mi6 agent who for decades was a valuable ally and source to American intellegence who had nuanced information and sources within the Kremlin vs having a foreign power headed by a dictator with diametric foriegn policy goals to the United States of America.

    .Ya I guess that's about the same :confused:
