Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham read aloud a text message with the f-word from former FBI agent Peter Strzok during Wednesday's hearing with Attorney General William Barr.
During his opening remarks, Graham, R-S.C., read off text messages exchanged between Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
One that he read was from October 2016, in which Strzok wrote to Page: I am riled up. Trump is a f------ idiot, is unable to provide a coherent answer. I cant pull away. What the f--- happened to our country??!?!
The thousands of text messages that Strzok and Page, who were having an affair, sent back and forth about the Clinton and Trump-Russia investigations raised questions of bias, and special counsel Robert Mueller eventually removed Strzok from the Russia investigation. Strzok was also fired by the FBI.

Why Lindsey you poor little flower. I'm so sorry you had to read that obscenity and without your fainting couch nearby.
How ever will you recover from such dreadful language?

(I do have to add that Strzok was an idiot to put that shit in an email. NOTHING is secret or irretrievable these days. trump is going to learn that to his discomfort eventually.)

(13,412 posts)Who gives a damn if Graham dropped the f-bomb? Nobody should. It is irrelevant and unworthy of outrage.
Instead, we should focus on Graham trying to divert attention away from Barr by speaking about anything related to Strzok.

(32,078 posts)I'm not shocked at his language. I'm shocked that he didn't stop to think that those five words coming out of his mealy mouth were, without any doubt, going to be used against him and Trump. It's absolutely astounding to me that this never occurred to him.
I'm sure Stephanie Miller is totally ecstatic to have that sound bite, along with every other left-leaning broadcaster and pod-caster.
