Yesterday's congressional hearing featuring FBI agent Peter Strzok was one of the most bizarre episodes I have witnessed in Washington in a long time. The display of arrogance by Peter Strzok was just breathtaking.
Keep in mind, my friends, that this is a discredited man. This is not the kind of person we want in the upper echelons of the FBI. He belittled and mocked half of the American people. He was kicked off the Mueller investigation for his bias and demoted. He was escorted out of the FBI's headquarters "amid an ongoing disciplinary process."
In his opening statement, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte said it best when he implored fellow members of Congress to consider the implications of Strzok's bias on our system of justice. He said:
"For those who think we are wasting time in this committee, suppose all of this had been said about candidate Obama before he was elected or even more topical, about Hillary Clinton. . . Would we be where we are today? The only honest answer is an absolute affirmative, yes.
"Of course we would be here, because every single Democrat would be protesting bias and discrimination . . . by an out of control FBI and DOJ.
"So please stop saying this doesn't matter. . . Instead, the American people hope you will understand that this investigation goes to the very heart of our system of justice, one that is supposed to be fair and treat everyone equally under the law."
Sadly, liberal politicians defended Strzok tooth-and-nail. They praised him. One progressive even said Strzok deserved a medal . . . the Purple Heart.
While insulting to our real heroes in uniform, there is some logic to that twisted suggestion. Clearly many on the left see this biased deep state agent as a foot solider fighting for the progressive cause, doing his best to take down Donald Trump.
And that is exactly what Chairman Goodlatte is worried about.
