years and mostly white males, 45 years that s the only demographic group that isn t for donald trump. look, the vast majority of fbi agents are just like the rest of americans. they re republicans, independents. they re of all stripes and all colors, and i m sure that they all have different views, which they share probably at the family table. right. listen, i hear you on that. i mean if you take everybody who has a personal opinion about the job that they do out of that job, we re going to have a much bigger unemployment rate. sure. but strzok put himself in that chair. absolutely. these texts weren t about the ball game. they were about trump. they were ugly. they showed a bias. terrible. against him. and there were a lot of them. and some of them don t sound good, especially the one we all looked at a million time of her saying trump isn t going to be president, right? and he said, no, we ll stop it. i agree with all of those things. yet the report that was issued
let s destroy the fbi. there was one member of congress who basically extrapolated and said mr. strzok you did terrible unprofessional things and you showed bias therefore prove to me that the whole rest of the fbi didn t follow lockstep with you. well, you know, mueller s a republican, the fbi director is a republican and he was a big shot, too, though. luis, he was a big shot, he was running the probes. i never said that but here s what the inspector general they investigated it more exhaustively than cnn has or i possibly can and what conclusion? look, chris you remember when the president and the republicans kept telling us wait for the inspector general s report. well, they got that text out of it though that they beat him over the head with. and that was terrible and that was unprofessional and that s in the report but that doesn t mean there weren t many, many layers that were
news is really tig noose is really tightening around the president s neck. what the republicans want to do is say let s destroy the fbi. there was one member of congress who basically extrapolates, saying, mr. strzok, you did terrible, unprofessional things, and you showed bias. therefore, prove to me that the whole rest of the fbi didn t follow lockstep with you. well, you know, mueller s a republican. the fbi director s a republican. he was a big shot too, though. i m not saying he wasn t a big shot. i never said that. but here s what the inspector general i mean they investigated it more exhaustively than i m sure even cnn has or i possibly can. and what conclusion? look, chris, you remember when the president and the republicans kept telling us and heralding, just wait for the inspector general s report. right. well, we waited for it. they got that text out of it, though, that they beat him over the head with all day. they got the text out of it, and that was terrible
the bar for you guys is show us that he acted on his bias because if that s not the bar, chris, then all of us are in trouble because all of us have feelings and opinions about one another, but we do the job. they didn t show me anything today. what did they show us today that proves he acted on the bias? that s the bar. well, it comes back to he was actually the agent in charge of both the clinton e-mail and the russian investigation. yes. he s been dismissed, you know, by mueller. it just goes back again to a lot of republicans feel the mueller investigation has gone they feel. they feel. on a tangent. they feel. that s correct. see, that s why i m stopping you there, chris. i m going to get to mueller because i agree with you. this is about mueller. we saw it with jordan. we saw it with gaetz. strzok is just a stepping stone to say whatever mueller comes up with can t be believed. we ll talk about whether they make the case. but here s what they had to deal with to
who s applauding? who s booing? this is all about what you see through your partisan lens. that s why the hearing was supposed to be different. they were supposed to establish facts that make their case in this showdown with strzok about the fact that his bias led to bad actions in this probe that make it a witch hunt. what did they find? really four things, okay? strzok screwed up by sending those texts. he exhibited bias against trump. that s true. it s really just one text, okay? this text came back to haunt him all day long. trump s never, ever going to become president, right, right? no, he won t. we ll stop it. he tried to explain it away by saying the american people would vote against him and he wouldn t win. it wasn t that compelling. and he admitted strzok the texting was wrong on several levels. one of them means that he arguably violated the fbi s code of conduct. strzok didn t have a great rebuttal for that either. now, because of that, they argue that strzok has no
