As we told you earlier, Rep. Trey Gowdy took FBI agent Peter Strzok to the woodshed over his anti-Trump texts during an investigation he was involved in. During Gowdy’s questioning, Strzok was spotted contradicting himself when being questioned by Gowdy about one text in particular:
Peter Strzok: "That text in no way suggested that I or the FBI would take any action to influence the candidacy…"
.@tgowdysc: "That is a fantastic answer to a question nobody asked."

Also it’s worth noting that Strzok went from “I wrote it” at 3:40 to “I don’t recall writing that text” just about ten seconds later.- READ MORE
[divider][/divider]Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Peter Strzok went ballistic on Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) after Gohmert called Strzok a “disgrace” and attacked him for cheating on his wife with Lisa Page at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday.
Congressman Gohmert accused Strzok of lying regarding his involvement of the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email investigation, which sparked calls from Democrats to withdraw his comments.
Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz found in his report in June that Strzok had a “biased state of mind” that may have played a role in his and the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Clinton email investigation. The IG report also revealed that Strzok told his mistress, Page, that “we’ll stop” President Trump from becoming president.
Gohmert said regarding Strzok’s political bias:
You’d be better off coming in here and saying ‘Look, that was my bias’ — and you kind of get around it a little bit when you say, ‘Hey, you know, everybody’s got political views.’ Those are called biases, and we all have them — and you have come in here and said, ‘I had no bias’, and you do it with a straight face. I watched you in the private testimony you gave, and I told the other guys — he’s really good. He’s lying. He knows we know he’s lying and he could probably pass a polygraph.
It won’t be recaptured anytime soon because of the damage you’ve done to the justice system. I’ve talked to FBI agents around the country. You’ve embarrassed them, you’ve embarrassed yourself, and I can’t help but wonder when I see you looking there with your little smirk how many times did you look so innocent into your wife’s eyes and lie to her about Lisa Page.
