Peter Strzok says he can't recall changing Hillary Clinton exoneration statement on his computer

[Emjay]

FBI official Peter Strzok testified Thursday that he can't recall using his work computer to soften the wording of a statement exonerating Hillary Clinton of mishandling classified information.

Strzok conceded during a joint hearing of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees that metadata indicates his computer made the change, but said he can't remember doing it.
The June 2016 edit changed "grossly negligent," a term that carries legal liability under the Espionage Act, to "extremely careless."

Strzok, removed from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation last year after discovery of pro-Clinton and anti-Donald Trump text messages with then-FBI attorney Lisa Page, said someone else recommended the change.

"My recollection, sir, is that somebody within our office of general counsel did, it was one of the attorneys, I don't remember which one," Strzok said. "It was a legal issue that one of the attorneys brought up."

It's been at least two days since I wanted to slap anybody so bad as I wanted to slap that sanctimonious lying sack of excrement. (Peter Strzok)

@Emjay

This is the scene that kept playing through my mind during his testimony ... with Strzok in the seat, of course.

I wonder what the legal precedent is for " I don't remember, therefore I am innocent"?

I watched way too much of that hearing.  And I think it's still going on.  The democrats were total buttholes ... one even wanted to give him a purple heart, which would actually be better than the black heart he has now.

But Louie Gohmert was the best, asking him if he had that same self-satisfied smirk when he told his wife he wasn't cheating on her.

It's enough to destroy all faith in the FBI.  But I guess FBI agents are instilled with enough arrogance that carried through on this hearing.  He had his nose in the air and a smirk on his face throughout.

I heard only a few clips on the radio. But apparently the nastiness and discord was as bad as it’s ever been.

We should all take a moment to remember Ted Kennedy for having set the standard.

The GOP had the opportunity to shred Strzok like slow roasted pork on this but couldn't seem to put it together.

Nobody that high up handing that kind of sensitive case gets to say 'I don't recall.' The buck stops with them, they are either criminal or incompetent.

That should have been made very clear in the hearing.

The democrats ran a coordinated defense and obstruction program. It was pretty amazing to watch.

They did try @Free Vulcan over and over again.  Hell, they damn near came to fisticuffs on several occasions.  The Dems are get defense tacklers....having lived through the Clinton years it's now their Olympic sport.
