ICHEOKU says he was evasive, combative and dodgy throughout the hearing session and his holier than thou self righteousness mien were visible for even Steve Wonders to see. He came across as somewhat arrogant, cocky and as someone who feels that he is better than everyone else, including those elected members of Congress in the hearing committee, who were asking him questions.
His utter evasiveness and refusal to answer direct questions; and when he tried, did not answer truthfully or invented his own version of the interpretation of what his text really meant, was quite telling and seem to fly in the face of the ordinary meaning of the English words which he used in his text messages. Many of his texts were plainly discernible and needed no interpretation to reveal their true purport and meaning; yet he was bold faced in denying the obvious and thus insulting the collective intelligence of the American people and implying their lack of capacity to read with comprehension to understand what was written in plain English language.
It is so unfortunate that such a highly placed former FBI officer would lie, lie and lie without shame or compunction. It is sad and it has diminished the bureau in the eyes of America as well as the wider world which hitherto regarded the FBI as above reproach and straight as an arrow. In fact, what he did or did not do or intended or did not intend, is not actually important as the appearance is the controlling factor here. How does the average America perceive what went down? Did it look like the fix was in and indeed that things were fixed, despite all the denials and affirmation of professionalism? To an ordinary person looking from the sideline, how will he or she feel about the while story and will such a person still have unreserved faith in the FBI and that they did not try to influence an outcome. This is the imperative as justice must not only be done but must be seen to be manifestly done; but not as perceived in this case.
In what Sean Hannity described as a verbal gymnastics, calling him a verbal contortionist, Peter Srrzok did a lot of verbal acrobats and cleverly evaded a lot of questions. In fact, lived up to the billing as he was evasive throughout his questioning. In some case, he outrightly chose to develop a selective amnesia just to avoid giving an answer; and as it soots him and as was necessary to shield him and prevent him from answering some pointed questions and in some cases, he simply parried them off. One other commentator described his performance as indicative of someone who has an unfaithful relationship with the truth. While yet another said that Peter Strzok has a hard time with the facts and that his conduct successfully created a dichotomy that erodes the American justice system. Concluding, he opined that the eventual successful politicization of American justice system, as begun by Peter Strzok and crew, will only mark the end of America's constitutional democracy as we know it.
Overall, most Americans saw through the charade he tried to put up, a show of perfidy, meant to throw a wool over the eyes of watchers and put a cloud cover over his conduct. Peter Strzok tried to paint a different picture from the obvious conspiracy his band of do-gooders mounted to derail the election of President Donald John Trump. The hearing was indeed a chaos in Congress as Shannon Bream described it and ICHEOKU agrees with Ms Bream that a lot of dive and dodge occurred during the hearing session as Peter Strzok was not there to help unearth the truth but to mount a water clad defense of his actions. But regrettably, it did not fly as he came across as not comfortable with being confronted with the facts and would rather he did not place himself in such exposed position. However, Peter Strzok is apparently brilliant and a gifted mind; and he would certainly make a good advocate, although he refused to come clean and reconcile himself with truthfully speaking.
