Today, FBI Director Christopher Wray sat in the congressional hot seat. Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), perhaps the most conservative lawmaker in Congress, demanded answers about Trump-hating FBI Agent Peter Strzok. He wanted to know if Strzok applied for a FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign officials.
We’re only now learning that Strzok had usual communications with Fusion GPS, the research firm that generated the false Trump dossier used by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Jordan fired away: “Director, did Peter Strozk help produce and present the application to the FISA court to secure a warrant to spy on Americans associated with the Trump campaign?”
As you can see (below), Wray didn’t want to talk about details:
But as Jordan pointed out, most of Robert Mueller’s investigative team are Democratic donors. So why was Strzok singled out for anti-Trump texts to his mistress?
As you can see from the transcript, via The Washington Times, Jordan is convinced it’s because he applied for the FISA court warrant:
Why was Strzok — after all the leftist leanings he exhibited before being hired for Mueller’s team — why was he the one picked from all the bunches upon bunches of Democrat-loving Clinton and Barack Obama supporters working on this Russia collusion hunt to be the fall-guy for bias?
For a text message no less?
“Well here’s what I’m not getting. Peter Strozk is selected to be on Mueller’s team — after all this history, put on Mueller’s team — and then he’s removed for some pro-Clinton text messages,” Jordan said. “I mean there are all kinds of people on Mueller’s team who are pro-Clinton.”
.
Hmm. Good point, Mr. Jordan. Go on.“If you kicked everybody off on Mueller’s team who was anti-Trump, I don’t think there’d be anybody left,” he said.
Right. And now for his main point: “It can’t just be some text messages … there’s got to be something more. And I’m trying to figure out what it is. But my hunch is, it has something to do with the dossier.”
Thud. This is where it gets really interesting.And Jordan’s question to Wray went like this: “Director, did Peter Strozk help produce and present the application to the FISA court to secure a warrant to spy on Americans associated with the Trump campaign?”
Wray was not “prepared” to discuss applications tied to the FISA court, of course. But Jordan kept up the pressure — and then gave his own conclusion.“Let’s remember a couple of things about the dossier,” he said. “The Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign, which we now know were one and the same, paid the law firm who paid Fusion GPS who paid Christopher Steele who then paid Russians to put together a report that we call a dossier full of all kinds of fake news, National Enquirer garbage and it’s been reported that this dossier was all dressed up by the FBI, taken to the FISA court and presented as a legitimate intelligence document — that it became the basis for a warrant to spy on Americans.”
The Trump dossier has been proven to be false, but has played a major role in recent indictments issued by Mueller’s legal team. And Fox News’ James Rosen shows Strzok played a central role in arranging to pay former MI6 agent Christopher Steele $50,000 to find evidence to verify the claims.
Why did the FBI proceed on the findings of the dossier and file for a warrant, even if they questioned the dossier’s facts? Apparently, because they were working to directly assist Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign.
With these facts coming to light more than a year after the election, it’s even more amazing that President Donald Trump was able to pull off his historic victory.
Do you stand with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and the quest for the truth about the FBI and Peter Strzok? Please leave us a comment (below) and tell us.

This dude (Strzok) should first have a normal name, for easier pronunciation. Second, he can evacuate himself back to Srpska land (Serbia) where he belongs to
I've said it before: This government is 100% absolutely corrupt. WWI,WWII, Germany, Hitler, the holocaust ($6 Billion a year lie), Vietnam, JFK, OK City, 911, Pentagon, FAST AND FURIOUS, Orlando, SANDY HOOK HOAX, BOSTON BOMBING HOAX, VEGAS etc, etc, etc. The people in power own it all (2% own 98% of the world's wealth) and will kill all of us and do ANYTHING to retain their power and control over us. THIS IS THE REAL REASON FOR THE FALSE FLAGS- CAPSTONE FEMA EXERCISES and attempts to disarm the people of the USA. Pray...only JESUS CHRIST can save us.
The only true statement you made was the one about Christ saving us. Have you not taken your meds today? Please go lay down somewhere after you take them.
Something suggests otherwise; you are not a wise man and get your infos from the ultraleftist jewsmedia... Keep sitting on your waterbed and change your diapers often.Meanwhile, YOU are the one who needs meds URGENTLY!!!!
By now, it's obvious that Muelle's team of anti-Trump, pro-Clinton, lawyers have only one goal in sight. To impeach Trump. The whole lot of them should be fired and many should be tried for crimes they are committing in the course of this false "investigation".
The president has the authority to remove any member of the FBI who refuses to turn over the requested documents. He should start with the director and if he doesn't provide the documents, fire the SOB. Keep firing them for insubordination until they respect his authority.
Rep Jordan is ABSO-F'n-LUTELY correct!! This stinks, Wray refused to answer his questions -- Jordan didn't ask for details, only whether Strzok was the source, or took part in generating the FISA Surveillance Application. That dossier was pure BS, but was used to justify the ENTIRE Mueller Investigation. If so.......it would invalid everything since!!!
Wray should be declared in Contempt of Congress, and incarcerated. If these treasonous traitors refuse to talk, duct-tape them and stake them out on top of Fire-Ant Mounds. You know vulchers and worms have got to eat too!!
This entire matter really depresses me. The Dems led by Soros, Obama and the Clintons are so evil and have contaminated everything so badly I don't know how anyone would ever untangle it. And while the good guys do try to untangle it, the Soros nightmare is moving on to something else and they bury it so deeply that no matter how hard we try, there is more waiting for us.
This is going to get worse as time goes on for the libs. They just got shot down with the Roy Moore yearbook. I hope indictments are coming soon of Comey, Lynch, Holder, Hillary and please, oh, please Obama. That would be the short list too.
We need more of the republicans to have some balls like Jim Jordan, he certainly nailed it, the truth will eventually come out and The POTUS can get on with making AGA.
The entire "Special" investigation is predicated on a salacious, contrived, fake dossier Strzok cleaned up as he did the charges against KILLary, so it "looked" valid, paid for by KILLary, the DNC, and FusionGPS, which allowed for the FISA warrant. Investigations, interrogations, charges, convictions are fruit of the forbidden tree and ALL must be declared ILLEGAL and vacated!!!!
Christopher Wray is yet another Deep State puke.
Let me make one thing abundantly clear. The DoJ and its FBI are not independent of the Executive Branch or of the oversight of the Legislative Branch. All this talk in the AGITPROP MEDIA and amongst the law enforcement/ prosecutorial/ judicial brotherhood is blather, nonsense, myth and lies.
Like every other federal agency, they are subject to direction from the President and his White House. They are subordinate to the President. Their work product and communications are subject to review by the White House. Their personnel are subject to interview by the White House. The President has the power to direct the actions of these inferior officers. He may terminate any investigation or prosecution he chooses. He may pardon or commute the sentence of any defendant in any prosecution or any target of any investigation. He may direct the investigation of any potentially criminal matter he chooses. The only limit on his authority are the statutes of the United States, the regulations and rules promulgated thereunder, and the final decisions of courts of appropriate jurisdiction (i.e., the Law itself). These inferior officers may be removed by the President. He may declassify by his own executive action any work product, document or other information that he chooses. We have a "unitary" executive, as our courts have consistently, ultimately ruled.
The agencies are also subject to Congressional oversight. Their personnel are subject to subpoena for testimony by Congress (and the Judiciary). Their work product, communications and other information are subject to subpoena by the Congress (and the Judiciary) even when they are classified.
In sum, the personnel of the DoJ and FBI are subordinate and accountable to the political branches of the government. When information, documents or testimony is requested by either, each agency should exercise the utmost cooperation, while still protecting the confidentiality of national security, investigatory and prosecutorial information, documents and the related personnel's testimony.
The Deep State is a profoundly dangerous threat to our constitutional order. It must be cut down and extirpated.
