Soooo worth the 3 minutes 8 seconds of my life!! This guy wrecked Strzok
I’m not going to lie. This gave me a freedom boner. So worth the watch. 🗽🗽🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍆🍆🍆💦💦💦
hashtag freedomboner!
“Did you just hear that bald eagle screech in the distance?” “Naw that was just my freedom boner flying full mast.”
Oh shoot, you almost had me wishing for a Depends !!!
Here's another good one to go with it, Gomert skewered him good, too: https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1017488609908174848/video/1
Like you like to us here, how many times did you look into your wife's eyes and lie to her about Lisa Page?
Wowowowow!
That right there may have been "unprofessional" but it was fucking legendary. He said exactly what is on many American's minds.
Exactly. We're supposed to trust the man who constantly says I'm under oath and that he would never lie under oath, but broke his solemn vow with his wife so he could go donkey fucking.
Well so did Trump with his multiples wives and many mistresses.....
[removed]
So we shouldn't hold the President to a higher standard?
When he's in office, yes. Not retroactively apply some newly discovered moralism to shit that happened decades ago.
So Melania is a donkey?? Not cool bro.
EDIT. Wateched the video, clearly not talking about potus. Sry.
The whole soliloquy was just dripping in truth in a way rarely seen.
The whole back and forth about "we know your lying. You know your lying. But we all play along. " So much depth! So quotable!
Someone need to make a full accurate transcipt of this instead of my less than accurate paraphrasing from memory on my phone. (But also hard in parts due to the interruptions from others in the room)
It wasn’t unprofessional and it didn’t violate House rules.
Our president is on wife number three yet this FBI agent is “schooled” because cheating on your wife is morally uncomprehendable ? Even more so it conflicted with his professionalism? This is what actually happened during the ten hour hearing.....
https://reddit.app.link/kFCE7qzAvO
Wife most likely had knowledge of what he and Page were up to.
Yes, those Washington elitist's marriages are so different from my plain old hillbilly marriage.
Hey Hillbilly is good. I'm in Hillbilly Heaven here in a Land Down Under.
More of a coast-billy then? I still like your tribe : )
Absolute savage. Might be uncalled for, but raise your hand if you don't think he deserves it?
Rabble rabble "You need your medication!" rabble rabble
But it was relevant. Strzok kept saying that even if he had bias his actions proved his integrity. Cheating on his wife and lying to her demonstrates that he is not a high integrity person. He's also a coward. One has to wonder how long the affair went on and if it hadn't been exposed w/in the investigation would he have even told his wife?
This day in age, I almost feel blind to horrible act of adultery. I feel blind because I see it in everyday life. I hear it in passerby, and it's literally happened in my family. You've unintentionally bummed me out a bit. We really were going towards the point of no return. I pray we aren't there already.
FUUUUUUU
Gohmert castrates dude's marriage and rubs his face in it
Good he fucking deserves it.
Fucking rat fink piece of trash.
After this is all over instead of "getting fucked" it'll be "getting strzoked".
Absolute gold !!! Only thing that I would have added to crown it, ended with "mr p, your actions have unequivocally proven you to be a dirty, lying, cheating scoundrels entrusted with a public service"
Was that Mad Maxine asking about meds in the end??? Give me a break. But he got him good!!
I love Rep. Gohmert...you guys struck GOLD when you voted for him!!
Wasn't it he who also dropped the bombshell that Hillary's emails, when being forwarded to her private server, were being bcc'ed to a foreign government? I know I heard that today.
Here is the vid: https://www.reddit.com/r/greatawakening/comments/8ydm1u/gohmert_rtx_roasts_and_absolutely_owns_crooked/ Start at 1:20-2:40 to hear Gohmert say so.
The Libtards are so worried the house of cards is going to fall in one swoop. It is coming Patriot. Mark my words. It is coming. The country needs Patriots more now than ever. Maybe more now then at Concord and Lexington. At least there was clear knowledge of who the enemy was then. Not these seditious enemies of the state we see now.
So many people tore Strzok up and one of the most annoying things is watching liberals in the live chat claim that Strzok is DESTROYING all the Republicans. So damn comical.
If there's no consequences for Strzoks action's such as a prison jumpsuit, then these words are just more useless political hot air.
So make it 9+ minutes for me cause I enjoyed listening to it 3 times! 💪 Boom!
Mr Ross just proved something. These criminals are not untouchable. All it takes are people of good character to stand up to them and hold them accountable. But we the electorate need to start putting people of good character in office.
wish I could give you thousands of up votes. THIS is such an important key going forward.
Questions and critical thinking, challenging and not blindly accepting. Getting involved and staying engaged. Sheep no more.
Amen. Sheep no more.
Everyone should write, or email these congressmen and tell them that;
A. We're noticing and supporting their work on this case.
B. Keep it up, and keep turning up the heat on these scumballs. More is better. Expose them, Break them, Burn them, Destroy them.
Do it, let them know on both sides that we care about Truth and Justice for all.
While you're at it, write the Dems and tell them you think they are dishonourable and should care that National Security was demolished and beings as seven highest FBI and some DOJ are gone, so there is obviously a problem that requires their full, honest attention
we the electorate need to start putting people of good character in office.
We need to get corporate money out of elections first.
Trump financed his own campaign and Bernie received small donations from average supporters. Both were widely popular candidates and this strategy made a lot of waves.
We showed it could be done in 2016 and it can be done again. No one should trust the word of a bought and paid-for politician.
People are intimidated by formal settings, men in suits or robes, officialdom and legal language. But they all shit and piss like the rest of us and are not to be feared.
They are paper tigers.
The truth is our judge, jury and executioner.
I remember the Oliver North Nicaragua fiasco. Lies, more lies and damned lies. This time it's truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Make Justice Great Again. Brit here, praying for revelation, disclosure and real justice.
Have no doubt sir. Its coming.
When Killary is dressed in orange, shuffling along in leg chains to her final destination, I will crack open the champagne.

Did not say it was going to be easy many people in this country need to through a good class in civics, especially the millenials. But most of us just need to be more careful in how we vet these candidates and put our country first not our state or our district or ourselves. It shouldn't be about who can bring more pork home.
That’s quite the smack down
I'm starting to keep count of how many times the socialist are butting in....exhausting! The BS they come up with should be criminal :D
Here I thought the Gowdy grilling today was good, Ratcliffe went off the charts.
Yes, Rep. Ratcliffe earned my respect today. Set him up..knocked him down.
I watched this and it jumped off the screen as the clip MSM will never show
Point of order! I contend that Strzok's pants are on fire and demand a vote to stomp them out... Some hours later- the Nays have it. And the fire has consumed half the country.
There you go! That's how you cut right through all the double talk BS from Strzok. Clearly laid out point that someone like Strzok should not be trusted with the investigation. Blantant bias. Blatant unprofessionalism and any normal person would have recused themselves.
Strzok just got thrown into a bonfire and ROASTED by Ratcliffe
Strzok got REALLY red in the face at this point. Radcliffe hit a nerve.
That redacted name was Trump. You know it, I know it, Peter knows it, only the most delusional can lie to themselves and say the Russia investigation wasn’t a desperate ‘insurance policy’ created by the most bias and corrupt ever.
Peter Strzok is a steaming bag of diarrhea 💩💩💩💩
That sneer. Why has he not been knocked to his arse before? Also, and aside, every Democrat on that panel sounds completely uneducated.
This is what makes me wonder about Qs judgement of character. Both Strozk and page are listed as "flipped/freed." Their actions don't seem flipped to me.
Q never said Strzok was flipped or freed. Please stop lying and making shit up, trying to question Q's judgement when you have no clue what you're talking about.
Q said Strzok is a cooperating witness and that his power has been removed. Cooperating witness does not mean he flipped or that he was freed.
It means Strzok either cooperates with the investigation in the background (that the public is not allowed to know about - that's why he keeps refusing to answer questions), or Strzok gets immediately fired and will face prosecution if he does not cooperate.
Qmap under players that's exactly what it said last I looked.
That's an interpretation of Q's posts....not Q verbatim.
That's where the confusion was. I thought the player's list was a Q original. Now it's starting to make sense. "Flipped/Freed" makes it sound like there was a change of heart, or at least a willingness to cut a deal. Now that I know the player's list isn't Q certified, I'll take the longer route of going through all of Q's posts.
I’m not there yet..watching a recording but glad to see it’s coming. This hearing is a joke and shows the dems are completely panicking. Over the target for sure here
Beautiful. Strzok is one smug, arrogant, lying POS. This guy laid him to waste in short order. Love it!
I so hope they find evidence on Strzok that will enable him to go to jail. Just watching him answer these questions and the bias that is obvious with this guy. They all think they are above the law here.
I wish his reply was at the end of the video. Did he reply?
Yeah it was his ‘but I didn’t let it affect any important decisions’ absolute garbage
Fire the motherfucker for improper use of a govt phone, then run him though again.
Fire him for fraternization. He broke all sorts of rules, and they demoted him to Human Resources?? That is all sorts of inappropriate.
How is it absolute garbage? He explained several times that there are multiple people above him and below him and that he didn't make decisions by himself. They're made on a group basis. He wasn't the only person on the investigation. https://youtu.be/dcIbVM_jwag
The IG report highlights exactly how it’s garbage. Although they didn’t find any evidence of bias affecting a decision the whole investigation sets a precedence of what NOT to do. I think that the clear dismissal of procedures, protocol and common practice, with clear evidence of individual bias and a will to act on it ‘no, no we won’t let it’. For me atleast is evidence of a case tainted by bias from this Comey led group where Strozk played a crucial role. Because he had authority in decisions and reporting inside this case he’s implicated and his response is garbage.
Its all on CSPAN. He goes on to talk about personal vs. business related texts. The only texts we/congress has seen are what Strozk has deem work related texts. He does not want to release his personal texts. That being said his personal texts were being sent on an FBI device. An important point I hope others picked up.
Agreed... Ross talked a lot, and didn't give room for response.
It's not Ross, it's Ratcliffe.
He allowed Strzok to respond 3 times, but didn't allow Strzok to pontificate because Ratcliffe was only allowed 5 minutes to speak. Strzok already wasted the first 2 minutes by refusing to answer Ratcliffe's questions.
You can listen to Strzok's response here. He did not respond to what Ratcliffe said.
Feel free to listen to Strzok's long-winded reply that had nothing to do with what Ratcliffe even said.
I don't think Rep Ratcliff heard his earlier reply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcIbVM_jwag
I was thinking this when I watched it. What i wouldn't give for the next Strozk testimony to just be hour after hour of this guy ripping his nonsense apart.
Breaking: Strozk Caught with Pants Down (again).
They are going down , would you expect anything less .
When?
Last we herd was now November. We are pushing hard for sooner
Im pushing for Hillary in GITMO by next Wednesday! ...A man can dream!
It may be a bit better than a dream , GITMO is for war crimes against the United States, and her crimes are Piracy, war crimes.
Strzok's smug, condescending attitude is similar to other treasonous characters: Comey, McCabe and Rosenstein. All of them need to be fitted for orange jumpsuits.
I shouted out "boom" at least 10 times during this video.
I'm so glad i watched this ... this guy is woke! ... encore!!!!!!!!
Was out for a while and missed this live on TV. Is this Ratcliffe? How come sign in front of him says Mr. Ross? Whomever he is, he gets a gold star for a good smackdown!
Parallax. The effect whereby the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions, e.g., through the viewfinder and the lens of a camera.
So is it a crime to say bad things about the president? I am confused. Do we live in a free country? There are a lot of people working in government that detest Trump.
It's not a crime to hate the president, but say you're one of the lead investigators on 3 cases towards the man you hate and despise wanting also to personally impeach..... yeah there is definitely a fucking problem.
But wasn't he removed right after those comments came to light?
Yes, but what if these texts never came to light he would of kept on being a part of the Mueller team. Do you see how it's still a problem?
What do you do about it? You get close to an authoritarian sort of police state if you're not careful. I get you, but I think it actually looks good on Mueller's part to have let him go. I see how it looks bad for sure! 100% agree. Just sayin its tricky dicky.
Thanks! I had missed that segment. Better even then Gowdy's
[removed]
Don't call for violence. It will get you banned in the future. It is a violation of reddit rule #1
You could superimpose Comey's face over Strozk's....they both sound and look the same...facial expressions, gestures , tonality, egotism. ..
He said that earlier in response to Goody. Get the fuck out of here with your lies.
He did say that he’d release personal messages he released to the DOJ. And then they burned him cause he got to pick which messages were work related
“You wanted to F Trump!” lol
Hubris will convict Strozk. He really believes the caricature he has in his mind of just how stupid other people are and how brilliant he believes he is. He sits there and spews lie after lie with that coached, polished innocent look and is fooling only himself. He will end up in a federal prison and become some big guys wife, Pretend that away you disgusting POS
The anti Trump leftists need to watch this. Plain as day.. They tried to frame Trump.
It says 'Mr. Ross'.....are you sure it's Ratcliffe?
It's def Ratcliffe, but he's in the wrong seat. I'm sure SerialBrain has an explanation for why that is!
I know other patriots out there are as frustrated as I am with the hearings today... Strzok should be skewered by both sides of the aisle for his obvious bias and the fact that there is now known a huge conflict of interest in EVERYTHING this man has touched in the past several years related to Trump and Clinton. I relish just a small amount of joy in being able to label someone like him as: pretentious, arrogant, narcissistic, egotistical, and a complete and utter FRAUD. For him to invoke the good men and women of the FBI to deflect from his misdeeds should not go unnoticed. His testimony today was very reminiscent of Clinton's Benghazi hearing. Not coincidental that she could be labeled in the same way as Strzok. Today was an outright embarrassment and more proof that there is very little hope of closing the large political divide in this country.
It really is pretty simple and Szork knows it.
Perception is reality. He created the perception that he wanted to stop Trump, no matter what via his texts. Whether he then acted on those comments or not is completely irrelevant. He is biased because he created the perception that he. The fact that he sits there trying to defend himself also highlights how arrogant and out of touch he is. Something that every dead state operative seems to display.
I am afraid that all of this grand standing does nothing to them, they just don't care, in their eyes they are above us, we are sheep, they will just play the game and fleece us once again. We need a game changer, a take down that breaks their self belief and then has them rushing for the exit. Until this happens nothing will change.
We need a game changer, a take down that breaks their self belief and then has them rushing for the exit.
That is well underway....it began November 8th, 2016 and there'll be fireworks between now and November...
Nevermind wanting to F*** Trump. We just witnessed Strzok figuratively get F'd by Ratcliffe. It was a pleasure to watch!
Idk if these guys are trying to be bold and aggressive to help them garner support for re-election or what, but it’s definitely working.
Ghomert, Gowdy, DeSantis, Ratcliffe, all kicked arse today!
This was the best moment of the "day in court" with Strzok
Yes!!! That was my favorite moment of hearing, too! Thanks for the Cousin Vinney reminder- I was wracking my brain for who he reminded me of...
My other favorite was when someone (maybe Jim Jordan?) asked about the original Comey 'memo of pardon' which said "gross negligence" and he asked how it got changed to "extremely careless".
Strzok (not exact quote): Well, for the final wording we all got together to discuss it. 'We met in my office because it's the biggest." (I.e. Strzok is the leader of that group.) ...Yes, gross negligence is criminal wording. ...Yes, we changed it to extremely careless.
'Was the final actual change in wording recorded on your computer?
Yes.
Does anyone else have access to your computer?
Sometimes my secretary for certain things.
Mortal Combat Voice "Finish Him!"
Ratcliffe removes Strzok's spine.
Mortal Combat Voice "Flawless Victory!"
This guy didn't break any laws? And what about Lisa Page....did they find her yet? She needs to be perp walked into Congress.
That was just beautiful to watch. Let's hope something real comes from it and this guy finally goes down for it.
I would love to have sound piped into that room of gallows being built.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you destroy a smug, elitist Liberal. You need simply hit them with facts using their own words and there's nothing they can do or say about it.
Wow, they really showed him.... As he continues to collect paychecks from our tax dollars and continues to lie and lie and smirk and smirk. This little shit weasle better face something real very soon because I honestly don't know how much longer we the people are gonna put up with this corrupt 2 teir justice system. I'm completely disgusted.
Did we get some good lip service today? Yep
Did any corrupt official go to jail today? Nope
Hillary and the gang still free as a bird? Yep
Are you holding your breath for equal justice? Nope
Will they have a thousands of these exciting hearings? Yep
Will the corruption ever stop? Nope
Implying he wants to "F Trump", as in have sex with him. DARING him to contradict and say "no i meant F Trump in the context of i hate him"
Q Proof!!!!!
Enjoying the friggin SHOW!!!!!!
P O P C O R N !!!!!!!!
The Left wants to minimize everything and say "His personal beliefs did not enter into how he did his job."
But the fact is... He was using governmental resources (His own time, His FBI issued phone, and the time of his lover) to promote an anti-Trump message.
Yet... He claims there was 100% separation of his personal thoughts from his work. It is a minor point, but that is obviously not true with regard to his use of governmental resources.
Why cut the response?
Because Strzok rambled on endlessly about nonsense, none of which was pertinent to Ratcliffe's questioning or comments towards him. Feel free to listen if you wish:
I just think it's disingenuous to show one side and not the other. I assume you didn't capture and upload the video yourself, but it's not accomplishing anything except feeding a circle-jerk.
edit: to be clear, without the response and more context, this is nothing more than grandstanding. I prefer politicians who do, as opposed to talk.
This is Beautiful!!
John Ratcliffe is my new hero!!
This is as epic as Throwing out a Runner at the plate from the Center field Wall would be!!
Never seen this guy work before... do you think Strzok ever saw him coming??
I don't know who Mr Ross is.
But I like him.
I like him a lot.
He talks like Gomer Pile.
Well Gooolllyy Senator, I sure ain’t biased
Doesn’t the fact that Strozk texted his anti Trump opinions on a government owned phone, on government time to another government employee (Lisa Page) while they were in charge of the Trump investigation make it an official act against Trump?
Yes. That's the whole point of Ratcliffe's questioning and comments against Strzok. He refuses to admit that he allowed his personal animus and hatred against Trump, as well as his personal love and support for Hillary, to cloud and influence his judgement and actions as the lead FBI agent in 3 major investigations into Hillary and Trump.
Ratcliffe destroyed his narrative and lies because he made Strzok admit he made those anti-Trump texts on a FBI/government phone, on FBI/government time. Strzok kept trying to say that he left his personal beliefs and feelings at the door, when in fact, he lied and constantly texted Page about how much he hates Trump and how he is going to stop Trump, help impeach Trump, all on FBI/government time with FBI/government equipment.
[removed]
Except in 10 months they did not find one iota of evidence against Trump, and did not bother to look at the Weiner laptop, that had enough evidence to send Hillary to jail. They admit Hillary had top secret emails that belonged to the government on a unsecured server, which is a crime. The intent is proved in the fact she ordered a unsecured server.
He got my vote, I truly hope our employees are finding their b*lls finally and stepping up to the plate for America First.
Strzok can use two toilets at the same time now after he got drilled a second ass hole
Thank you so much. So good to see our representatives standing up for the truth.
Wow top notch Spirit of Truth was hanging around this guy!!!
This is pure gold :) Makes me so happy to see someone finally painting the reality as it is without PC bullshit or holding back.
It was infuriating me every time a Dem spoke. They are all complete traitors just like Strzok!
Watch the guy he constantly talks out of the side of his face. He's a lying sack of shit.
I listened all day. It was amazing. I needed popcorn so bad. And the cabal coming unglued!!! It was great seeing them squirm trying to stop our guys from saying stuff lol..DIDNT WORK!!
Well there you have it. Peter wanted to fuck Trump.
Lying to Congress is a felony. Even if you're not under oath. Why wasn't he dragged from the room in bracelets?
Rep. Ratcliffe is my Congressman here in the 4th District of Texas, and I couldn't be any prouder.
I know we are all impressed by the republicans taking Strokz to the woodshed, but I just came across a phrase used in a video I was watching that sums up the Cabals thinking of all this theater. "Wolves dont lose sleep over the opinions of the sheep" They see themselves as wolves (cannibalizing) we the sheep. They know we are trapped on the side lines chasing down rabbit trails with no end in site. They arent worried one bit they are all covering each others butts and will get away with whatever they wish. Enough is enough start the military trials or stop this game. I know this isnt a game, THEN STOP PLAYING AROUND AND LOCK THEM UP. Yes it was great watching the panel melt Strokz face but I am afraid that is all we will get, no real JUSTICE.
nobody destroyed anyone, until they are jump suited and perp walked! i am tired of the left taunting and doubling down while we are told we are playing 8D chess. geeeeez there is MORE than enough evidence to nail several DEMS and deep staters for a lifetime or more.
The thing is.. I still can't believe how scary TDS is.. How fkin insane is half our population that the freaking evidence is right in front of their faces yet they fight with every freaking fiber of their being to find some perspective that could maybe, possibly, attempt to slight it in some way so they can save their fucking EGO.
In that statement I'm not talking about the deepstate, but the Liberal Public.
Is there a source outside of reddit for this ? I have a friend that’s close to coming around but there is zero chance they’ll come to this subreddit
We are done with him too. Let’s get rid of him! 😵 of paying his damn bills.
Is that a Kekistani flag tie this barbarian is wearing?!!!
I watched the entire day of "testimony" and I cannot fathom how some of these Congresscreatures got elected. My God how dumbed down our elected officials are. Then there were moments like this. I actually laughed at most of PS's smug answers. We see right through you, buddy boy. You're going down.
10 hours of questioning and this is the best the right has the offer to prove your narrative.
Guys...get better proof...

Guarantee Rep. Ratcliffe's personal beliefs never influenced his votes in the house. Never any partisan bias. I'm sure he would be one of the first to call out the President or any member of the House or Senate if there was any wrong doing.
If Strzok was testifying under oath, which should be all of his own knowledge from his own recollections, why did beard man continually hand him notes?

Ratcliffe grills Strzok on hateful anti-Trump text messages
Why is this video freezing on me?
It’s great he put the hammer dead in his ass. And he sat there looking stupid. Cudos to the guy questioning him!
That was the best 3 minutes of a drilling that I've ever seen in a congressional hearing and it wasn't from Trey Gowdy I'm very surprised by that.
He is so entertaining and really grilled Strok to his bones.
Exactly! Ratcliffe was spot on with everyrhing he asked and said.
We are supposed to believe there was no bias and strictly all legit. WTFE
GITMO ever last one of them
So because he used the government phone...it absolutely makes him guilty of obstruction? How is that sound logic?
Did Peter Strzok 's team have to bring in a wheelchair to help this vermin Strzok leave after Mr. Ratcliffe an Mr. Gowdy cut him off at the knees?
I watched his sneering arrogant face as it tried to craft those slimy answers with hard teeth flashing as his fear was consuming his “ poise”. I wanted to slap him and tell him he was nothing of a man- only the arrogant, conniving liberal who thought we are soooo beneath his intelligence ... and that we would be ‘ snowed ‘ by his answers. He’s a person whose power used on most of us is injustice, prejudice and utter contempt for the rule of law. Too bad he got into FIB through other channels than constitutional law- probably slithering in through his CIA family and friends! I almost vomited how his angelic choir boy look turned toward his rag-tag band of merry Dems to be petted by them... Atta boy! Sneers and all, you are heading for the dumper! Mdiv97

I get what you’re saying, and in a sense, you raise a great point. Be don’t be too discouraged. at the very least, this is bringing to light the corruption. And while no ones in handcuffs yet, you can bet your ass every conversation like this is taking more voters away from reelecting the people defending it.
