so peter struck was a prop. they brought him in to talk about his text messages to continue with his narrative this is an untrustworthy investigation led by untrustworthy people. they weren't interested in hearing anything. he was used to, and frankly they behaved more like members of the trump team, the members of the judiciary committee who have very important oversight responsibilities. today was a really sad day, when you see members of the committee that are really abandoning their responsibilities to do real oversight and to take up the important issues facing our country and instead devote hundreds of hours to hillary clinton's e-mails and attacking the character of the fbi and department of justice in order to protect the president. >> you've now initiated the process for releasing the closed door transcript of struck's testimony, which as you said was already given behind closed doors. obviously the doj would have to make redactions. do you expect -- and i know you can't comment on the details of it, bu

that was peter struck. peter struck was picked to lead the fbi's investigation into what russia did in 2016. it began in late july 2016. he was leading it at about the dispassionates agent wasthis fbi calling trump a disaster. thell leave out all of adjectives he used. i will just go with disaster and destabilizing. at the same time, his fbi lawyer girlfriend lisa page was telling him he was meant to protect the country, this fbi agent said i can protect the country at many levels. at the same time, peter struck who was picked to fairly look into the russia investigation was talking about an insurance policy with lisa page in the event that donald trump became the president. all of this was happening at the same time peter struck said he could smell the trump support in southern virginia. all of this was at the same time that this fbi agent said a trump presidency would be effing terrifying. that it would never happen. no, no we will stop it. while investigating russia and their attempt to subvert our democ

"an inspector general found no evidence that it led to anyone spiking the hillary clinton email investigation. democrats will certainly try to hammer home today this as republicans are still trying to get lisa page to give her side of the story. a subpoena battle still underway. >> he acknowledges that his text messages were at times blunt but he also took shots at hillary clinton and that his opinions did not affe

it is testimony that was described as a circus by one congressman peter struck attempted to defend himself saying that his personal views have never influenced his official f.b.i. decisions but check out what else he had to say not once in my twenty six years of defending our nation did my personal opinions impact any official action i took but the committee was pretty divided over his testimony while republicans were on the off chance democrats were playing defense objecting to all their questions now one loyal democrat even suggested that struck be rewarded for his service to the country on the other side struck desperately tried to keep the russian hysteria alive by characterizing the proceedings as a win for the usual suspect i have the utmost respect for congress has oversight role but i strongly believe today's hearing is just another victory notch in putin's belt and another milestone in our enemy's campaign to tear.

peter struck is on the hot seat or in the hot seat. he came under scrutiny after the justice department inspector general discovered thousands of text messages that he exchanged with an fbi lawyer. republicans claim struck is biased when it comes to the ongoing russia investigation. >> the suggestion that i in some dark chamber of the fbi would somehow cast aside all these procedures, all of these safe guards and somehow be able to do this is astounding to me. and the proposition that is going on, that it might occur in the fbi deeply corrodes what the fbi is in american society, the effectiveness of their mission, and it is deeply destructive. >> struck says he deeply regrets his text messages but that they are nothing more than private political believes. >>> happening today, london breed's first full day as mayor of san francisco. we know 2:00 this afternoon she's expected to attend an emergency preparedness briefing for first responders. she was sworn in yesterday as the 45th mayor of san francisco and the first african-american fe

you brought that up because we can and i watched the talking heads dissect that testimony from peter. struck it was one of the most amazing things i've ever seen in my life. beyond the optics too but what was interesting and i think this is we've talked about on this program many times of crisis of institutions this really is that really at the crux of all of this here is the separation of powers is that the f.b.i. and the d.o.j. are defining congress this is not trivial this is not trivial at all and i think this is where it's coming in struck still being an employee of the f.b.i. gets the shield of the protection of the f.b.i. once he's out we'll see what happens to him his girlfriend. lisa page looks like she's going to be ok ok we'll see that next week but there's an institutional crisis here. i mean france you were talking about. is this i mean brazil is a seven speed the. permanence of. the u.s. through these crises because it's of course if. no matter what if said during this summit. trumps likely to get any credit for it i mean it doesn't matter the outcome even if there is no outcom

you know i looked at you know james komi comes out with a measured brennan comes out i wonder if peter struck is talking about this here i mean the i can understand how donald trump i mean he's been an office you know five hundred days plus you know and he still having to have to deal with when this brennan going to be deposed when is he going. to be questioned ok i would like to know that ok there's a number of very thoughtful smart people that think that brennan could be one of the primary movers behind this big conspiracy i mean it seems to me that he's projecting so much because he has a lot to answer for and he won't because he would he everybody right everybody wraps themselves up on the flag on this one and that's where it gets really dicey go ahead daniel. also brennan has been chastised by his own colleagues senate democrats for lying to congress as well and nothing ever came of that on critical intelligence testimony both behind closed doors and overtly this is interesting that part you're bringing into the politics of this the base trump thing i'll give him the most credit in the w
