Of course CNN and MSNBC used it so people like Mark would think he is a hero and did nothing wrong.
The IG report said
“We were deeply troubled by text messages sent by Strzok and Page that potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions were impacted by bias or improper considerations,”
This sentence was the crux of the entire 11 hour farce. He says it gave the appearance and that he bias but he didn't, that having a point of view and bias are two different things. While he is right, you certainly would have to be a very strong individual with impeccable morals and character to not let your point of view leak into becoming bias.
Though there is no proof at this point that he did act against Trump, he certainly is of questionable character, that's the main point the GOP was trying to make.

There is another option... Strzok, was involved in other Russian spy related investigations, one of which was a precursor to the 2016 elections where Russian spies were caught in this country trying to dig their way into our political system. He was the lead investigator on that case which resulted in 10 Russian spies being caught and convicted.
Now lets look at the Trump campaign situation with a bit of reality and no partisan googles. It doesn't matter if you are pro Trump, anti Trump or indifferent, when you look at all the Trump/Russia connections it is not normal.
It's not like we are talking one or two guys here who have shady Russian connections. It's not like we are talking Trump filled his campaign staff & eventually his advisers with a robust amount of people with connections to lots of various countries.. No.. it's almost every single person Trump has surrounded himself with are connected to shady Russian shit..
One look at this with any bit of logic says something is not right with this picture. Now put yourself in Peter Strzok's position. A position that knows a lot more about this situation than me, you or anyone in Congress. Added to this Strzok is probably very aware of guys like Flynn being compromised who was Trump pick as Chief of Staff or Manafort & Stone..
Even if Trump is totally innocent of wrong doing, how else do you expect a FBI agent who knows this stuff is supposed to react? I'm sorry but when you know for a fact people on the POTUS's team are compromised by Russians and his entire inner circle is likely also compromised you can only react by assuming 1st that Trump also is compromised or is too stupid to be trusted. Either is a danger & threat to our Democracy.
Not to mention Trump's own actions during his candidacy, things like calling on Russians to hack Hillary.. (now yesterday we actually find out that Russians actually did try to hack the DNC the very day Trump made that speech)
If your job is to protect our Democracy and this country, how do you have no bias when looking at these facts? It's easy to claim "have no bias" when looking from inside a bubble, but we can put all these issues together and it becomes very big problem and anyone tasked with protecting our country would see these problems as major issues and red warning lights.. |
