House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte tells Martha MacCallum that FBI lawyers are instructing FBI Agent Peter Strzok not to answer questions from congress about the nature of his involvement within a DOJ/FBI conspiracy to stop a political candidate; and later to overthrow a presidency.
Additionally Chairman Goodlatte states the answers agent Strzok did give about his text messages was “not believable”.
Blog Author's Comments: I do not believe that Strzok was even under oath. But, he and his lawyer and the FBI are now in their CYA mode. The FBI is obviously stonewalling. There is no longer just “smoke.” There is a burning conflagration, or an extensive fire that has and is destroying the once proud FBI.
They do not believe that Congress under the US Constitution is entitled to hear or see exactly what they have been doing for the past two or more years, in an attempt to stop and delegitimize candidate and now President Trump. The FBI/DOJ are acting in a high-handed manner that can only be stopped by action from an empowered member of the Executive Branch who is not part of the Cabal.
I have to wonder if only the President is going to be able to force compliance with the facts, and anyone in Congress who thinks he will be impeached for enforcing the Constitution is totally wrong. Apparently agent Peter Strzok with advice from the FBI legal counsel refused to answer many questions.
I am not surprised and believe if his lawyer was not there he would have pleaded the 5th the entire time. This game will only continue. Strzok cannot be near truthful and hope to survive. The media has started their new spin on the Peter Strzok texts by limiting the context and details of their “text analysis” and his testimony to selected phrases and words, as they always do. i.e. Strzok was referring to his opinion as a citizen and he was performing a higher duty.
