House Judiciary Committee subpoenas FBI agent who sent anti-Trump texts
by John Bowden
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) issued a subpoena on Friday commanding FBI agent Peter Strzok to testify before the committee next week, despite Strzok’s offer to testify voluntarily.
Strzok’s testimony is scheduled to take place on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m., according to a press release from the Judiciary Committee.
“The Committees have repeatedly requested to interview Mr. Strzok regarding his role in certain decisions, but he has yet to appear,” the statement said. The committee was referring to the joint investigation between the Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee examining the FBI’s conduct during the 2016 presidential election.
Strzok was one of two FBI officials removed from special counsel Robert Mueller‘s investigation into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia after it was revealed that he and his colleague, Lisa Page, had sent text messages that were highly critical of then-candidate Trump.
Here’s what’s happening and why I like it. The tables have turned. Rep Goodlatte is doing to Strzok what Mueller did and is doing to those coming before the Special Counsel: squeezing their spleens until they start to fall all over each other in an attempt to cut the first and best deal. Andrew McCabe has already said that if he goes down others go down. Andrew McCabe has already accused Jimmy “The Leak” Comey of lying.
Then there may actually be a squalor, like pigs, of federal government officials such as Strzok and McCabe and Comey and Moyer and Kleinsmith and Lynch and Page and Rosenstein all vying to fellate those with the power of the subpoena.
Let the bodies hit the floor.
And LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
