Goodlatte to Democrats: ‘Replace Trump’s Name’ with Obama’s in Strzok’s Text Messages​


By Melanie Arter
July 12, 2018


In an opening statement at a joint hearing by the House Judiciary and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committees, Judiciary Chairman Robert Goodlatte (R-Va.) on Thursday asked Democrats to imagine FBI agent Peter Strzok's text messages were about them, former President Barack Obama or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "For all those in this room who continue to disparage our investigation as mere conspiracy theory, and for all those who have chosen to ignore serious irregularities and potential crimes that we have uncovered, I say this: Imagine if you were under investigation and the investigator hated you, disparaged you in all manner of ways, and fraternized with another employee working on your case who also hated you, denigrated your supporters, and made crucial investigative decisions on how your case should be treated and eventually adjudicated,"� Goodlatte said. "Would anyone sitting here today believe that this was an acceptable state of affairs, particularly at an agency whose motto is: fidelity, bravery, and integrity. I think not,"� he said. "To my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, please replace Trump's name with your own name in a small sample of things Mr. Strzok has said".
~Snip~
"I implore my friends not to continue their efforts to undermine this investigation, and as for their rights, I submit that the rights that should concern us are the rights of the American people, namely to know the facts, to trust that their law enforcement agencies are operating fairly and justly and to feel secure in the knowledge that no one is above the law,"� Goodlatte concluded.

But Democrats did not and could not do as Rep. Goodlatte asked. It would go against everything the DNC and the former administration had done to weaponize the agencies. Meanwhile it's plain to see that the Progressive Left were more than willing bury these investigations and allow this travesty to occur and are very willing to cover-up this scandal.
Both Strzok and Page used government equipment in communications that now expose what they were really up to.
At the end of the day, all these overblown legislators have are words. Where are the grand juries and indictments by the DoJ. It boggles the mind that someone would have to be an utterly ideology biased hack to not see the lawless behavior and abuse of power by Obama his administration and appointees on down.
Today the smoke was fanned into a fire, you have to open your eyes and accept that it might actually be there. A Hillary exoneration without a grand jury with mountains of evidence against her? Immunity for witnesses with no reason to give it? Where was the investigation regarding the Clinton Foundation, Clinton's personal millions and links between donations and access? An investigation by an intentional leak to initiate a special prosecutor and FISA warrants on fraudulent dossier that we now know has three variations.
We The People are tired of words. We need to see real actions taken by law enforcement against these criminals. we need to be able to respect and trust the federal law enforcement agencies. we need to know that no one is above the law. All we have so far is talk, parsing, deflection, obstruction. What we seek is results and justice not cheap talk.

I guess you didn’t learn anything about the real meaning of bias today so I’ll provide you with another lesson. The DOJ is not going to change it’s longstanding interpretation of a statute for the purpose of applying it to Hillary Clinton for no reason other than the fact that right wing creepers have an obsessive hatred of the Clintons. Nor will law enforcement agencies continue to harangue them on those grounds. To do otherwise would be biased.

It does not matter whose name was on the text, people in the FBI are allowed to have political opinions. If there was evidence of, you know, actual wrongdoing, then it might matter. Since there is not, it does not. Goodlatte is a ****ing idiot.

We really don't have to imagine. From day one Mitch McConnell said he would do nothing to help Obama.
How many years did Trey Gowdy go after Hillary and and find nothing?? Do you really think they weren't texting each other or emailing?? Yukking it up. Did you hear Hillary whine about it much??
Did you hear Dems whine about it much??
If she was guilty so be it - we just want the damn truth - seems the GOP doesn't want truth or justice; They've sold their souls.

It's like you guys live on another planet. Neither the IG report nor anything that came out today was able to drag up any nefarious activity by anyone with the FBI. None. Nil. Zilch. Nada. Zero.

Stop peddling your bull**** lies.

I’m extremely pleased that the girlie G-boys goodlatte, gohmert, and gowdy played the useful idiotic and moronic roles of KGB tools today.

Benghazi with zero indictments continued today, while corrupt, complicit goPC House members are ****ting bricks waiting for the next Mueller ban hammer.
 
Goodlatte is an idiot, but Gohmert is the one that made a complete ass of himself today.

Such a waste of money and time.
 
Strzok was an absolute disgrace today. The FBI looks like crap, especially with the things this guy did and continued to work there. All this happened under Obama, and there is no way he didn't know what was going on. What a stain on our system of justice. Oh, and equally disgraceful were the Democrats defending this POS.

God, and to think the left was crying "obstruction of justice" when Trump fired Comey. He was 100% justified. Now, we know that keeping Comey would have been the real obstruction of justice.
 
The FBI looks like crap, especially with the things this guy did and continued to work there.

If he did something the GOP should've talked about that instead of spending all day going on and on about text messages. Seems like a wasted opportunity!

Gohmert was awesome. Glad to see him stand up for this country against this conniving piece of garbage.

I've only watched some of it so far, but boy did this guy come off as a smug piece of crap. To get up there and say he wasn't biased and it didn't affect his work is a complete joke.

Uh, no.
 
It does not matter whose name was on the text, people in the FBI are allowed to have political opinions. If there was evidence of, you know, actual wrongdoing, then it might matter. Since there is not, it does not. Goodlatte is a ****ing idiot.

Then you'll have to ask yourself why Mueller bounced Strzok form the investigation, why was he demoted and why so many of his Emails to Liza Page were filled with political bias and hatred for Trump and the Republicans.
 
I've only watched some of it so far, but boy did this guy come off as a smug piece of crap. To get up there and say he wasn't biased and it didn't affect his work is a complete joke.

We know it didn't because Horowitz has said so. Nobody can find any actual wrongdoing. Why is that?
 
~~~~~~

No wrongdoing found. You're mad he had political opinions yet was involved with an investigation. Maybe you should be questioning the integrity of Goodlatte's investigation given his bias.
 
Goodlatte is an idiot, but Gohmert is the one that made a complete ass of himself today.

Such a waste of money and time.

I watched it. Strzok handed Gowdy's ass to him. It was hilarious.
 
I've only watched some of it so far, but boy did this guy come off as a smug piece of crap. To get up there and say he wasn't biased and it didn't affect his work is a complete joke.

Of course the inspector general ruled that he didn't act in a biased way either.

But doesn't matter to you guys. Hillary was cleared by the AG and 9 Republican Congressional Committees and you still falsely accuse her, too.
 
Gohmert was awesome. Glad to see him stand up for this country against this conniving piece of garbage.

Gohmert went personal in the hearing. Completely unprofessional. But I'm not surprised you enjoyed it despite the utter hypocrisy.
 
I've only watched some of it so far, but boy did this guy come off as a smug piece of crap. To get up there and say he wasn't biased and it didn't affect his work is a complete joke.

Strzok is no doubt smug and biased against Trump. With that said, Mueller has 20 indictments within a year while Gowdy and his Team got zilch over many years.
 
~~~~~~
Then you'll have to ask yourself why Mueller bounced Strzok form the investigation, why was he demoted

Because what he did embarrassed the Mueller Team. He was rightly bounced and demoted. Let us know when you've discovered any laws violated.


why so many of his Emails to Liza Page were filled with political bias and hatred for Trump and the Republicans.

Umm, because people have political opinions and often share those opinions?

To avoid even the appearance of impropriety. See, unlike every GOP Congressman on that panel today or anyone involved in the Trump adminstration, Mueller values integrity.
 
Because what he did embarrassed the Mueller Team. He was rightly bounced and demoted. Let us know when you've discovered any laws violated.
Umm, because people have political opinions and often share those opinions?

Embarrassing, exceedingly to the entire Planet; anytime a goPC lawmaker or trump opens their mouth.

Dangerous, exceedingly with the entire Planet; anytime a goPC lawmaker or trump opens their mouth.

The worst is yet to come, each and every day, from the entire goPC, especially from McConnellism.

This is what happens after a decade of miserable demmie voting patterns beginning with REDMAP 2010. The 142 remaps, 99 for the States, are in deep jeopardy in 2021; should mean something with the 2011 remaps.
 
Replace Trump's name with Hillary's and there wouldn't even be a hearing.
 
I've only watched some of it so far, but boy did this guy come off as a smug piece of crap. To get up there and say he wasn't biased and it didn't affect his work is a complete joke.

Then they should have pointed to something he did that proved bias. Instead they went on unhinged rants and debated the finer points of emoji usage.

If you think they actually had something on the guy, it must appear to you to be malpractice that they never bothered to introduce it.
