AWKWARD: Peter Strzok tries to spin the 'we'll stop it' text he doesn't recall writing [video]

Doug P. | 1:19 PM on July 12, 2018

As we told you earlier, Rep. Trey Gowdy took FBI agent Peter Strzok to the woodshed over his anti-Trump texts during an investigation he was involved in. During Gowdy’s questioning, Strzok was spotted contradicting himself when being questioned by Gowdy about one text in particular:

At 3:19 of this video Strzok explains what he meant in the "We'll stop it" text
At 3:47 of this video Strzok says "I don't recall writing that text."

And now you know why journalists have decided to go after Gowdy instead. https://t.co/DZaYsF3XUR

This is called “turning on a dime”:

Peter Strzok: "That text in no way suggested that I or the FBI would take any action to influence the candidacy…"

.@tgowdysc: "That is a fantastic answer to a question nobody asked."

Also it’s worth noting that Strzok went from “I wrote it” at 3:40 to “I don’t recall writing that text” just about ten seconds later.

Here's a CSPAN video, completely unedited without Wash Post or CNN snark attached to it. Watch it for yourself. Man Mueller dodged an enormous bullet dropping this baggage.
