the fbi is giving him. he is still an official of the fbi. why haven t the transcripts been released in. democrats do want to release the transcripts so republicans can judge for themselves. my republican friends don t want to do that. they must have something to hide. is there anyway you can get the documents released? there is talk we will do it as long as it is within the rules. where is this heading? i think it is heading towards an enormous fracture in our governance and here in the legislative branch. i have never witnessed anything like i witnessed today. it was not a proud moment. this hearing was conducted like a russian political show trial with all the trappings, connecting dots that aren t meant to be connected, taking one isolated incident and
you didn t do anything about it. sir, if there was a lead, i gave it to the team. unequivocally. there was nothing mr. strzok there gohmert, you will suspends. mr. deutsche, i apologize. i ve been instructed by the ranking member that we re going committee to committee. the next is the gentleman from virginia, mr. connelly, for five minutes. wow. the american public might be forgiven for mistaking this so-called hearing for a russian political assault trial. it s got all the trappings. character assassination, demagoguery, connecting dots,
demagog demagog demagoguery, connecting dots that aren t to be connected, cherry picking facts, sometimes fabricating facts. it s astounding. it s a new low in the united states congress. what a shame. but mr. strzok, you re under oath. my understanding is the big republican beef in order to discredit you and discredit the fbi and thereby hopefully from their point of view undermine the mueller investigation hinges on the fact that you sent out some indiscreet personal e-mails about your political views on the then pending 2016 election, is that right? sir, that s my understanding. all right. so you re under oath. i want you to say yes or no. the following e-mail, character matters, real donald trump is obviously not going to win but he can still make an honorable move, step aside and let someone else try. did you write that e-mail? i don t believe i did. no, you didn t.
i m a red state america guy. you know i can tell by how you look. [ laughter ] you re killing me. sorry. i m calling jace. good luck with him. at the end of your show, you actually pray at the table and it has resonated in a country. why? well, and that s what, from the start when we sat down and said this will be a great way to end the show and we thought it would pull back at the end of the show would show no matter what happens, you can get over this. if something happens at work, we get to the dinner table just like we were as little kids, we would show up and phil would tell stories, selling a million duck calls and listen to the stories and became good story tellers and entertainers and as the table grew, it was a great place to bring it back together. to us, sean, it was a simple thing. saying a prayer before a meal didn t seem like, not like holey
but i want to play these comments by so-called journalist john rolston. we invited him on the program. he wouldn t come on. he s been critical of you and me. the kinds of things sean hannity said about things happening in nevada that i m aware of, this is just the nater for him in terms of taking about things. he s had cliven bundy on and again, bundy and his family are not known for being violent at all but been emboldened by the folks coming down there and turning him into a folk hero and fox news has completely bought into that. they start ominously talking about harry reid s role in this and made up stories, as i said, connecting dots that cannot be connected. so, yeah, of course it s totally irresponsible. assemblywoman, i want to apologize for pointing out government over reach, a lack of
