He might not be the hero America deserves but he's the hero America needs.
Sir, all decent Americans applaud you.

(14,167 posts)...that it's really refreshing to see someone stand up and rightfully defend themselves and their beliefs so forcefully.
He didn't come to compromise, be civil, or make nice. He came to set the record straight and defend himself.
And I respect him for that.

(23,313 posts)I fear we're the only people who see that however. Deplorables probably think they're behaving with honor. Wait, deplorables won't be watching or listening to this.

Hope Ms Page is equally prepared and composed because after this fiasco, the Republicans will be looking for blood. Any sacrifice will do to save their sorry asses.

Mr.Bill
(24,284 posts)Some conservative forums I have seen are gloating that Gowdy is kicking the shit out of him, which I find laughable.

(111,089 posts)Trey Gowdy stunk up the place. He looked like someone who was recruited to lead the "inquisition". But who recruited him? Follow the m$ney, I gue$$?

(8,200 posts)Every damn one of the Republicans are nasty filthy fascists bastards. Their sole purpose is the protect their Fuhrer and will stoop to the most vile means of character assassination. Every damn one of them must be defeated at the polls. The situation is beyond serious, it is dire.

(13,582 posts)I wonder if the republicans are having flashbacks to Hillary Clinton on the stand? The only thing the GOP is proving is that it has utter contempt for the rules of the Congress and zero idea about how to effectively prove their case to the American people.
What we are seeing is a fucking kangaroo court.

Mr.Bill
(24,284 posts)he will probably do what most retired Congress people do. Have some law firms, foundations, etc, pay him six to seven figure sums to put his name on their letterhead.

(14,124 posts)He is allowing the rest of the FBI to see the utter contempt the Repukes have for them. He knows he has the backing of the intelligence community and also knows what Mueller has on everyone in this investigation!

(6,254 posts)Strzok is a genuine American hero, our best counter-intelligence agent the FBI has. Republicans had no idea what they were in for and thought because he had made a few unfortunate texts on the bureaus dime that they could skewer him. First rule of law when cross examining a witness is never ask a question you dont know the answer to and dont ask open ended questions. Its scary to see just how misinformed these Republican scum are. They have no idea what the hell is going on. They are just as bad and misinformed as the MAGA wearing, racist dolts screaming at his rallies. They truly subscribe to all the deep state Hannity hysteria that passes for republican policy these days. We better win 2018 & 2020 otherwise we are doomed for good.
