Strzok Hearing. Shouting match.

Peter Strzok  is the very senior FBI agent who ran the Russian Collusion hearings and the FISA court warrants to investigate members of the Donald Trump campaign and was on the Muller investigation team.  He was having an affair with Lisa Paige, an FBI legal type, and they exchanged some text messages indicating a super high degree of hatred for Trump, and a desire to tip the election to Hillary.
  Congress has been grilling Agent Strzok on live TV all day.  I would have liked to hear about  what evidence Strzok showed the FISA court to get warrants to surveil Trump campaign workers, what evidence they turned up about Russian collusion, both of which Strzok knows a lot about.  They never did get down to that.  Strzok kept refusing to answer questions claiming the the FBI didn't want him to testify.  Congress should have said, "Answer or you are in contempt of Congress, which is 6 months in slam for each question you refuse to answer."  CongressCritters don''t have that kind of stones any more.  The Democrats spent all their floor time trashing the Trump administration rather than boring in on the Muller investigation and Strzok's part in it.  Lot of shouting, lot of points of order, little real info.  They are still at it as I write this.
