Strzok spoke behind closed doors [reminiscent of how he first would meet up with Lisa Page at a hotel]. He was interviewed before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday in his first congressional appearance regarding revelations of a boat-load of anti-Trump texts he exchanged with Lisa Page, a married woman and FBI colleague with whom he was having an illicit affair.
One congressional source said that "Strzok was smug, defiant, and laughed off a lot of questions." This may be due to a pending or future book deal.
The source also said that Strzok refused to answer some questions on the advice of counsel, in spite of him bragging that he would not invoke his Fifth Amendment rights.
Another source told Fox News that Strzok regretted sending the texts, but that makes sense because it got him kicked off the Russia probe.
A recent inspector general report chastised him and others for the anti-Trump texts and Strzok was escorted from his FBI office and lost his security clearance.
Strzok is fighting back after President Trump tweeted that Strzok "refused to answer many questions." His lawyer, Aitan Goelman countered Trump's claim explaining that Strzok "abided by his legal responsibility to follow the instructions of the FBI counsel, who sought to avoid the disclosure of information related to the Russia investigation."
Trump should stay out of this, I believe.
"It should come as no surprise that President Trump, who appears desperate to undermine the Special Counsel's investigation, is again viciously attacking Pete [Strzok] for playing by the rules," Goelman said in a statement. He noted that his client "wants full transparency around the examination of his work."
Perhaps they should question his work by asking where did Strzok and Page find the time on the job to text some 50,000 times?
What an arrogant creep . . . I'm sure his wife agrees.
