The Strzok Hearing Was a Disgrace

First Read: “The political world gave House Republicans the benefit of the doubt on their select probe on Benghazi, but that probe never produced any indictments or guilty pleas (and it was ended immediately after the 2016 election). But with this hearing – plus their handling of the Russia investigation (compared with the Senate’s handling) – they’ve sullied the House’s reputation and its ability to conduct legitimate oversight.”

“And with House Speaker Paul Ryan’s hand-off approach, the buck here stops with him.”

The Hill reports that former White House press secretary Dana Perino scolded Republicans for “overboard” questions that “felt like a public lynching.”
