Back to episode — Episode 138 - Hot Take on Strzok’s Testimony so Far
Hey everybody, are you all watching the Peter Strzok testimony? That is coming back after the first session. They had a break. I guess they're getting ready to start again if they haven't already.
I wanted to talk about a few initial things that have happened. I'd like you to think back, those of you who have been following my Periscopes for a long time. What was the first thing that I said when the Strzok-Page text messages became public? The first thing I said is you're gonna have to wait to hear his side, because otherwise you don't know anything. It's too easy to hear one side and say, "Well, I know everything I need, and therefore this guy must be pretty guilty."
I don't have an opinion whether he's guilty or not guilty of doing anything biased or unbiased or illegal or legal. So I don't have an opinion on that. I just want to talk about some of the details that came out.
So apparently one of the big questions was about the text exchange between Strzok and Page in which Lisa Page said essentially, "He's not going to become president, is he?" Now this is during the campaign, all right? This is not after the election. This is the summer of the campaign. And Lisa Page said, "He's not going to ever become president, is he?" And Strzok replied, "No, we'll stop it."
His context was that it was after the alleged insult of a Gold Star family. You know, that's the question by itself, but let's say he took it as an insult and get rid of that.
Context —
Oh, I've got more people who can't. So if you're seeing some bad people go by, they're unblockable for some reason. They have kind of a technology or technique to make them unblockable.
