Typically "insightful" commentary.

Trump and his allies seem hell-bent on turning our democracy into a totalitarian state.

It's absolutely hysterical and delusional you actually believe the crap you just wrote. You think it was free from bias? Wow....

Always fun to see the people who like Trump because he is controversial getting upset when people don't like him.

Throughout the campaign he attacked a Gold Star family, John McCain's valor, and made fun of a handicapped reporter. None of what Strzok said in private is outside the line of what was commonly said in that time. That said, he was an FBI agent in light of this should have been taken off the investigation which he was. What's left? What's the charge that can be brought against him?

This is just yet another horse and pony show from our worthless Congress.

You may find this hard to believe, but I agree with this. In the end, I don't really give a crap because it doesn't affect my life one way or the other.

The man said he didn’t remember sending the text then explained what he meant in the text. That’s interesting.

I found that interesting as well. He also said he wasn't biased in his, but then gave a blistering attack of Trump.

I'm not too surprised. This has gone both ways throughout history. When Congress can't get anything done, or elections are approaching, they just hold these stupid hearings to make political waves. Nothing ever comes of them.

Also, with Chaffetz gone and Gowdy soon to be, these types of shows will be getting much more boring.

Wonder how you deal with this stuff daily. Must get tiring.

In denying that he criticized May, Trump suggested that a recording of the interview would prove his case. However, The Sun published an audio recording of the interview that included the remarks Trump claimed he did not say.

Please explain why you believe that Strzok's political views are either verboten or caused him to perform is job with the FBI in either a biased or incompetent way. Include what evidence you have because the IG report concluded that their was no bias in his work. Moreover the timing of publicly released information on FBI investigations before the election, as has been repeatedly pointed out without any evidence to the contrary, hurt rather than helped the Clinton campaign. So with no evidence to the contrary and with an IG report plus observed FBI pre-election behavior, of course I believe the "crap" I wrote. Again, explain why I shouldn't using an argument other than you just disagree.

Once again:

I will just add that when you're sending text messages to another FBI agent that say "We'll stop it" (referring to Trump being elected), you shouldn't be on the investigation. Period. End of story.
