FBI agent Strozek totally owns Republicans Gowdy and Goodlatte, destroys "deep state" myth: “To suggest we can parse down the shorthand like they’re some contract for a car is simply...

“To suggest we can parse down the shorthand like they’re some contract for a car is simply not consistent with my or most people’s use of text messaging,” Strzok said, practically yelling at Gowdy. The most effective rhetoric came when he addressed the text directly:

You need to understand that that was written late at night, off the cuff, and it was in response to a series of events that included then-candidate Trump insulting the immigrant family of a fallen war hero, and my presumption based on that horrible, d********g behavior that the American population would not elect somebody demonstrating that behavior to be President of the United States.”

When his speech concluded, Democrats in the room applauded.

This, I think, is a smart tactic—playing defense would allow the Republicans to continue insinuating guilt, while going on the offensive against their inquisitors casts the accusations in their proper partisan light. Strzok further went on to emphasize that no text he sent would ever influence his conduct in an investigation against the president, and that Republican attempts to undermine the FBI were a “victory notch in Putin’s belt.”

On Thursday, House Republicans held yet another hearing about Hillary Clinton’s emails — this one starring an FBI agent, Peter Strzok, who worked on the Clinton investigation in 2016, but sent texts privately expressing anti-Donald Trump sentiments around the same time.

The conspiracy theory Republicans are trying to push is that Strzok’s texts are evidence of anti-Trump bias in the FBI’s ranks that impacted the Clinton investigation. Their theory was contradicted by the recently released Inspector General report, which found that bias didn’t impact how it was handled.

Republicans’ conspiracy theory is also contradicted by the underlying facts of the 2016 campaign. Despite the fact that both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were investigated at different points during that year, FBI agents didn’t leak to the press about the Trump investigation. Instead, on two occasions, then-FBI Director James Comey took unusual steps to publicize the Clinton investigation — decisions that prominent pollsters believe may have cost her the e******n.

Before the question-and-answer portion of Strzok’s testimony began, he read a statement in which he highlighted that if the FBI was indeed in the bag for Clinton, they had a very counterproductive way of showing it.

“There is… one extraordinarily important piece of evidence supporting my integrity, the integrity of the FBI, and our lack of bias,” Strzok said. “In the summer of 2016, I was one of a handful of people who knew the details of Russia e******n i**********e and its possible connection with members of the Trump campaign. This information had the potential to derail and quite possibly defeat Mr. Trump, but the thought of expressing that or exposing that information never crossed my mind.”

The lack of Trump leaks from the FBI before the 2016 e******n has always been a glaring hole in the Republican conspiracy theory that proponents of it have been unable to explain. Re-read that again. A "deep state" conspiracy in the Justice Department would have done the opposite.

Here's something I doubt any liberal knows regarding illicit relationships by members of the FBI. FBI agents are required to officially report their illicit or adulterous relationships with other members of the agency. The reason is that such affairs open the door to blackmail, lawsuits, security breaches, and vulnerability to foreign intelligence intrusion. Among all other violations of FBI rules and regulations regarding duty and conduct that Strozk and Page perpetrated, their illicit affair was never reported.
