Trump calls for live, televised hearing of Strzok, 'other hating frauds' at FBI, DOJ
Fox News, Jun 25, 2018, Matt Richardson
President Trump blasted FBI agent Peter Strzok on Monday night, arguing that the hearing for the agent known for his anti-Trump text messages should be “shown to the public on live television.â€
“The hearing of Peter Strzok and the other hating frauds at the FBI & DOJ should be shown to the public on live television, not a closed door hearing that nobody will see,†the president tweeted. “We should expose these people for what they are - there should be total transparency!â€
Trump’s comments came just days before Strzok is set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. Strzok apparently was willing to go before Congress, but the committee issued the order for the June 27 appearance because he wouldn’t confirm a specific date to appear, Fox News has learned.
Strzok was involved in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation before he was removed following the revelation of several anti-Trump text messages with his bureau colleague and lover, Lisa Page.

George H.W. and George W. Bush followed your advice. Today's America is nothing like 1988-2008.
If I were POTUS Trump, I'd immediately upgrade the 'Disposition Matrix'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposition_Matrix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposition_Matrix)

Exactly, Mr. Trump! The hearings of the select committee on Watergate were televised, why not have televised Strzok hearings? Should make for weeks of riveting television, make the Watergate hearings sound like a tea party.

That may actually be an interesting idea, especially if they take the fifth over and over and over. Most people don't understand that isn't an admission of guilt, so it will may change some narrative.

Ah yes, let's have do-nothing televised "hearings" and turn political Kabuki theater as performed by the Republicans into a full-on Trump Reality TV Wrestling show, where absolutely nothing of actual justice or substance comes upon the subjects of these hearings beyond ratings and more instigated chaos.

No, see that doesn't work as an allegory because Reagan had class, unlike Trump who has none.
In addition, Reagan did not turn the White House into a bullshit Hollywood movie set, unlike Trump who has turned it into a bullshit and chaos Reality TV Show.

Given the state of the American Culture today, it takes a man like Donald Trump to save our Republic.
He may well lose the House majority come November...we'll see. But, there will NEVER be a conviction/removal due to 'Impeachment' efforts.
in the meantime...his attitude seems to be one of "Never Give Up!"
We should all thank God for that.

Germans and Italians said the same exact thing roughly 90 years ago.
I'm opposed to fuherers and il douches touted as messiahs to 'save the country', because the results will likely be the same.
You are free to goosestep to your heart's content. But it stops when you people demand the rest of us salute and march funny to your chosen Piper.

No sir, the crazy talk is found in statements like this:

My comments are about the mindset of Trump's sycophantic mobs who herald him as Savior and king. Their very comments are anathema to the purpose of the Constitution and Liberty itself. No man in high office 'saves' the country. That is pining for a false messiah and when a people say that the state of the nation needs their strongman in power to save the county - their fealty is to a man and not the Constitution. They are no different than the mobs of fascists in history or the mobs that touted Obama as messiah.

Please explain how he can or will save our Republic (implication here is "single-handedly", mind you).... if, as has already been pointed out re: the funding for the building of "the wall", he can't get enough Democrat votes to go along with ANY of his major legislation.... and the GOP can't pass anything major without those rat votes. I'm curious. How, exactly, is this "saving of the Republic" supposed to occur under those circumstances and criteria?

Do you believe Ted Cruz or [fill-in-the-blank] would have won Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin? How about Florida?
The ONLY reason a Judge Gorsuch exists on the SCOTUS is because of Donald J. Trump.

Um... you didn't answer my question. Epic FAIL attempt at diversion .... bringing up Ted Cruz, btw.
Care to try again? This time with logic vs. emotion, please.

You're being purposefully, obtuse.
Without Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton would be POTUS.
NONE of this treason....yes TREASON, would have been exposed/uncovered.
And another liberal activist judge sitting on the SCOTUS would have the Second Amendment --- GONE!
Another " " " " " " ".....would give us wide opened borders, with chain migration.
Do I really need to go on in order for you to grasp the concept?

Seems to me that you're the one being obtuse here. You made the comment about Trump "saving the Republic". I'd really like for that to happen.... BUT....
logically, since he can't even get the legislation for funding of "the wall" passed (without Democrat votes), how the HELL is he supposed to save the Republic???
If you can't answer my question, just admit it.... sans your lameass attempts at insults.

Why do you want to talk about "the wall"? he's POTUS...not 'King' (despite @Victoria33 's claims)
If you can't grasp things would be as I have posted...which has stopped/slowed the Left's advance...then we're wasting each other's time.
Have a pleasant day.

If we don't give him more seats in the Senate he can't, so it is up to us to elected more reps and
senators that support Trump's agenda. Or we can sit around an bit*h about Trump and let the
country go to hell. FYI this is a binary choice. Support Trump's agenda or watch the country go to hell.

Ok... so, I'm going to take that ^ ^ as your version of admitting that Trump can't (single-handedly) "save the Republic". I am inclined to agree, which is why I brought it up. Without Democrat votes (which he will never get).... he has essentially become a lame duck when it comes to getting major legislation passed. Sure, he can do more EOs and score more wins via the USSC, which is great. But his restrictions re: getting major legislation passed need to be grasped and acknowledged.... realistically (not just as an excuse for why there's no wall yet).
JUST SAYIN....

Well.... at this point in time.... and barring any unforseen reason why I might change my mind between now and November....
I plan to vote straight GOP ticket. It's all I can do, one vote....but I intend to do it.

for G.P. Bush. Haven't made up my mind on that yet.

We need to give Mitch the Turtle 56-58 seats, not that will stop him from making excuses about not getting things passed, but he'll have a great deal less cover to get away with it than he does now.

That may actually be an interesting idea, especially if they take the fifth over and over and over. Most people don't understand that isn't an admission of guilt, so it will may change some narrative.
@AbaraXas
I have posted this example before, but it fits here:
A Democrat district judge was trying to find something to charge against Republican officials. She composed a grand jury made of her family and people who worked for her family. This so called grand jury called a friend of mine to testify before this grand jury. She told the truth and they said she was lying; said they didn't believe her. Then, they called her back to the grand jury with the same thing happening - she told the truth and they said she was lying. We talked and I told her if they called her again, to claim the 5th and have it with her to read. Well, they did call her back and took the 5th, read it and they were furious but they had to let her go without questioning. They didn't call her back after that. The 5th amendment is gold against an evil government, which this district judge was. Years later, she was removed from office by the Texas Judicial Commission. She should have been removed before then as she was totally corrupt. Those happenings taught me judges and lawyers can be corrupt.
-
Support Trump's agenda or watch the country go to hell.
Not far off from 'Vote for Trump or be seen as a traitor deserving a traitor's death'. And yes, rabid ForeverTrump®s did in fact make those threats.
Which is why I do not jump on trains of fevered pitch mobs hellbent on following a political messiah.
Lots of dead people result in that historical revisitation to human nature.

@DCPatriot
DC, your first sentence is a contradiction, with all respect. Assuming Trump runs again and wins, he's only in office for eight years. Whatever benefits might come from his adminstration are, IMO, a stopgap. The culture is gone, we've lost it. Everything is slanting to the left now, and it'll continue that way. I don't think the Republic is going to be saved.

A fundamental truth that many discard for the lie they comfort themselves with that politics and one political messiah in high office will save us.
A Republic as we once had is already a forgotten idea in the minds of a majority of the population. Most want government as their god, nanny, and Punisher to be used against those whom they consider an 'enemy'. And of course a people who have discarded foundational principles for pragmatism simply end up becoming what they originally pretended they were fighting against.

@CatherineofAragon
Without reviewing, I could swear that I qualified that in the conversation, implying/saying that all we can essentially do is slow down the Left's advance.
Nevertheless, my claim is true, for if Clinton had won the Office, the Bill of Rights (2nd Amendment) would be shredded by now....and we'd have single-payer healthcare, with death panels.
To this 72 year old senile bastard....that's "saving the repubic". :laugh:
