Strzok’s claim of no bias so ridiculous that even CNN’s political director calls BS – IOTW Report

Strzok’s claim of no bias so ridiculous that even CNN’s political director calls BS

American Thinker: Only a fool or a Democrat (the two groups considerably overlap in the United States) would believe Peter Strzok’s claim under oath that it was only the appearance of bias, not actual bias, that was the problem with his texts to his inamorata Lisa Page. Yet, the Democrats in the joint committee hearing were eager to hitch their wagon to his fate.  One of them, Rep Steve Cohen of Memphis, offended many people with his claim that Strzok deserved a “Purple Heart,” oblivious to the genuine grievous physical injuries that have been honored with this medal that he trivialized.

I can only assume that Democrats believe that because Strzok was out to harm Trump, they must defend him. But linking their political fate to Strzok’s ridiculous-on-its-face claim was so stupid, that even CNN’s political director apparently felt compelled to speak out. Joe Concha report in The Hill:

CNN political director David Chalian said Thursday that FBI agent Peter Strzok’s assertion that anti-Trump texts he sent in 2016 do not indicate bias “is just flat wrong on its face.”  MORE

  1. Many people are calling for the Trump administration to frog march members of the deep state to jail. While this is appealing, I think that what is happening now is more effective.

    Indicting Hillary would keep the matter in the public eye, but indicting virtually any other member of the deep state would be news for about a week and then forgotten. But even though Congressional hearings will not really result in legal jeopardy, it is fascinating theater and the witness testimony brings in more and more corrupt politicians and bureaucrats than a criminal trial would where the defendant has a legal right not to testify. Plus, we get to see Democrats try to obstruct the hearings, which is not a good strategy for them. In other words, the Trump administration is getting far more political mileage out of these Congressional hearings than any criminal trial.

    If Hillary Clinton were indicted, all of the public’s attention would be focused on her, and players like McCabe, Mueller, Strzok, Page, Rosenstein, and more to come would be able to fly under the radar. Strzok’s testimony (and his demeanor) damaged Clinton, and is damaging the leftist wing of the Democrat party. And as an added benefit, the fact that these proceedings are initiated in Congress means that Trump cannot be accused of manipulating criminal proceedings for his own political gain.

  2. So, if any of us got caught spending a bunch of time at work emailing a person we were having an affair with about undermining the most fundamental aspects of that company’s business model, we would be fired. But this is a “public servant” and a democrat so it’s all vague and tricky to understand. I’m sick of all these lefties getting away with anything they do. The lessons the socialists are taking away from all this is that the next time they’re in power, they can pull off a coup.

    There is one outcome that would focus public attention where it ought to be, but it is so apt, so just, so deserved that it will of course never, ever happen: Barky, H-Rod, Holder, Lynch, Clapper, Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, L. Page, and several others wrapped up together and prosecuted under RICO.

    *sigh* But in the real world, your analysis and conclusion are spot on.

    If my gut feeling is right, your “outcome/public attention focus” is what I’d call Phase II…the targets timed towards November 2020…Phase I being DNC/Media/Lower-level traitors served up for November 2018.

    TO rl_c
    Yep!

  5. Czar, I did qualify my comment with could be fake news. And we all know the talking heads missed the boat in 2016. With that being said, I would be more comfortable getting the show started sooner rather than later. From the looks of it this will be a years long process, not weeks or months, and I want there to be so much shit dropped on these traitors that their involvement and guilt will be undeniable, even to morons like my brothers. If we are waiting for an October surprise there might not be enough time for the reality to hit some of these libs.

    “I would be more comfortable getting the show started sooner rather than later.”
    TELL ME ABOUT IT!!! The suspense is killing me!

    Yet, you’re right, it WILL take a looooong time, because
    1) the crimes are so serious
    2) there are so many scoundrels
    3) Trump & Co. want (HAVE!) to do it right [because…SEE #1]

  7. When I think about it, I’m not sure Q actually said which July. As cryptic as he has been maybe he is looking at 2019. Kidding aside, I’ve seen the July reference also. I still look forward to the Q posts but I’ve lost some of my enthusiasm for him. I’m a sucker, so he can get it back easily, but damn…..

    But Hillary is the big fish in the swamp. The others are just minnows in comparison.

    I hope Trump still wants to harpoon her.
