He knows that there is probably a shit storm brewing that will make a direct hit on some of yesterday's accusers.

2. Anything short of hanging his head and looking ashamed would have been interpreted

most of the time he's awake. I'm guessing he could have had a good career as a character actor with that face and manner.

Btw, remembering Strzok's contempt for and badmouthing of the Obama administration, Democrats in congress, people on Hillary's team, all the Democratic candidates and Sanders, I'm completely ready to believe his own claim in one of his texts to be one of our CONSERVATIVE Democrats.

It seems reasonable to believe, though, with his background in counterespionage and investigation of Trump, that he would be one of the relatively few who did not vote for Trump.

interpreted, rightly, as a righteous smirk.

That a grown man like Gowdy purposely resorts to propaganda over any truth-seeking reveals the depth of his evil.

Good thing Democrats negotiated allowance for Storzyk to have a non-interruptible final response...he sure was ready!

Gohmert is almost universally known as the dumbest member of that body. Which is really saying something.

But, he's lost that small degree of acceptance and I would like to smack every Texan that voted for him.
