Although former FBI lawyer Lisa Page was subpoenaed to appear before a joint congressional committee hearing on Wednesday, she ignored the requirement to appear and was a no-show.
Page would most likely have been questioned about the role she played in various high-level investigations, such as the Hillary Clinton email investigation and the Trump/Russia collusion investigation.
At the heart of that questioning would most likely be a number of pointed questions about her voluminous amount of texts with FBI agent Peter Strzok, many of which revealed a deep animus toward then-candidate, now-President Donald Trump and a support for the candidacy of Clinton.
But on the advice of her own personal lawyer, and citing an inability to adequately review relevant documents prior to the hearing, Page ignored the subpoena and blew off the hearing, an unbelievable development that was noted on Twitter by Trump while in Europe for a NATO summit.
Ex-FBI LAYER Lisa Page today defied a House of Representatives issued Subpoena to testify before Congress! Wow, but is anybody really surprised! Together with her lover, FBI Agent Peter Strzok, she worked on the Rigged Witch Hunt, perhaps the most tainted and corrupt case EVER!

[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.
