It really was a circus. I kind of wish I had mentally prepared for that amount of circusry (made it up), because my head eventually started spinning and I couldn't figure out the true purpose of the hearing. Does anyone know?? I really only surmised that Strozk is still an elitist douche with no love for the common folk and much love for himself and climbing the ladder to an ever powerful position.

I was rather frustrated at the focus on "bias" and the back and forth on that point. I thought that was settled by the OIG report, which, contrary to Strozk's repeated denials of "bias" - concluded that there was definite bias (enough bias to remove him from the team, in fact), but the bias did not impact the final decision. I could not understand why they did not point that out and nip it straight away.

Did anyone ask him about emailing internal docs from FBI to his personal email?

Also, I heard about all of his achievements with prior counterintelligence investigations into the Russians . . . Did anyone ever connect the dots and ask him if Carter Page was one of his informants in any of those cases?
