As tensions boiled over in today’s raucous, hours-long hearing into FBI agent Peter Strzok’s virulent anti-Trump bias, a leading conservative asked the “smirking” Strozk if he lied the same way to his wife during his affair with Lisa Page. (Fox News)
“The disgrace is what this man has done to our justice system,” Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, shouted over objections by Democrats. “I can’t help but wonder, when I see you looking there with a little smirk, how many times did you look so innocent into your wife’s eyes and lie to her about Lisa Page?”
Democrats immediately erupted into more objections, with one yelling, “Mr. Chairman, this is intolerable harassment of the witness” and another calling out, “You need your medication.”
Strzok and Page exchanged numerous text messages on their FBI-issued phones expressing hostility toward then-candidate Trump in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, even as Strzok was a lead investigator on the Hillary Clinton and Russian meddling probes.
The two also communicated on their work phones to hide their affair from their spouses, according to a bombshell report released last month by the Justice Department’s inspector general.
At one point, congressional Republicans threatened Strzok with contempt for initially refusing to answer their questions on the Russia investigation.
