And they are not pulling it off… Gohmert really screwed up….

“I’ve talked to FBI agents around the country,” Gohmert said. “You’ve embarrassed them. You’ve embarrassed yourself. And I can’t help but wonder when I see you looking there with a little smirk, how many times did you look so innocent into your wife’s eye and lie to her about Lisa Page?”
The line prompted jeers from others on the committee, and as Strzok responded, the two talked loudly over one another. “You need your medication,” said New Jersey Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman.
Stzok was eventually allowed to respond.
“I have always told the truth,” he said. “The fact that you would accuse me otherwise, the fact that you would question whether or not that was the sort of look I would engage with in a family member who I have acknowledged hurting, goes more to a discussion about your character and what you stand for and what is going inside you.”

How do you think historians will write about this ugly farce? I think about that a lot- and it is clear the republicans NEVER think about it at all… They will be the villains in this story, the useful idiots, the craven greedy accomplices to treason.

It doesn’t matter if they pull off their defense of Trump or not- it will not change their fate in the history books.
