Democrats turn Strzok hearing into circus

House Democrats are committed to turning FBI Agent Peter Strzok's testimony before Congress into a clown show, interrupting the questions of their Republican colleagues and literally acting as a cheer squad for Strzok.

When House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., attempted to ask Strzok a question about the number of people he interviewed in the first week of the FBI's Russian election interference investigation, Strzok refused to answer on the advice of the FBI's lawyers.

When House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., attempted to force Strzok to answer the question, arguing he must do so because he was subpoenaed by Congress, Strzok denied that he had been subpoenaed, claiming he had come to testify voluntarily.

Things went severely off the rails at Peter Strzok's hearings when Strzok refused to answer Trey Gowdy's question, stating his lawyers advised him not to answer any questions regarding ongoing investigations.

The Republicans contend that they're not asking specific questions about the investigation, and therefore Strzok ought to be compelled to answer or be held in contempt of Congress.

In a very stupid moment, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, asserted that Strzok was invoking "Attorney-client privilege" and therefore shouldn't be forced to answer Gowdy's question.

When Gowdy finally managed to ask Strzok about his bias and the text messages vowing to "Stop" Trump from becoming president, Strzok vehemently denied that his personal feelings affected the FBI investigations he was involved in.
