Trump: Strzok's testimony 'a disgrace to our country'

Source: The Hill



BY KYLE BALLUCK - 07/15/18 10:30 AM EDT

President Trump in an interview broadcast Sunday called the testimony of FBI agent Peter Strzok “a disgrace to our country.”

“I watched some of the testimony, even though I'm in Europe, of Strzok. And I thought it was a disgrace to our country. I thought it was an absolute disgrace,” Trump told CBS News. “Where he wants to do things against me before I was even, I guess before I was even the candidate. It was a disgrace. And then he lied about it. And you know, talking about shutting it down and 'we, we.' And he says 'oh I meant the American people' all of a sudden you know, he came up with excuses.”

Strzok's hearing last Thursday quickly devolved into rancorous partisan bickering after he declined to answer questions about special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.

Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, with whom he was having an affair, exchanged text messages critical of Trump during the 2016 campaign.

Millions of citizens will only hear his condemnation without even making any attempt to be come informed of the issues and actual testimony. His base is a far gone conclusion. Democrats are liberals that are destroying the nation. They are unamerican, immoral people who are attempting to lead our young pure innocent children astray. You know, those homosexual teachers that should by Biblical accounts be stoned to death. It doesn't phase them that they are blooming hypocrites when they encourage discrimination against God's Black and Brown children.

I can only read things trump says, I can't bear to see video. I can not understand him. And I have a lot of experience with small children and helping them express themselves.

I guess this is because he is lying and is trying not to be obvious about it. Later he can come back and say "that's not what I said" because no one can really say WHAT he was actually saying in the first place!

requires translation into English. Remember how we all thought that Bush was inarticulate? Who knew that he was just the warm-up act for what would come later?

The 'propaganda echo chamber' in full effect.

Plus - Strzok made it clear he is no fan of traitorous incompetent unqualified assholes. Would the Dotard ever see those responses? Not from his staff or his Fake News channel!

Disgrace, my dyin` ass! He nailed Trumps sorry orange ass, for all the right reasons.

For narcisstic mega-losers like Trump, the disgrace is in getting caught. He never should have been under suspicion, regardless of whatever shady shit he was neck deep in! It's a disgrace that we did not take him at his word, even when every word was a lie.

that even if Strzok was "doing things against" him "before [he] was even the candidate" that it might be based in knowledge Strzok had about him and his shady dealings?

You look increasingly delusional or foolish, it can only hurt him in 2020, and also help us in 2018.

For those who were cynical, have a little faith. We were right, and Trump, especially this week, and especially in the way he repeats the same crap over and over, just looks like he's banging his head against a wall.
