Listening to the questioning from both sides of the aisle and it makes me wonder something.

The consistent questions seem to revolve around whether or not Strzok's obvious bias as evidenced in the texts affected his work on any of the investigations.

Why does this matter?

Instead of Anti-Trump texts, what if he had been sending racially biased texts? (i.e. using racial slurs) Would anyone be asking if racial bias tainted an investigation or would he just be immediately fired and pilloried in public? I see stories all the time where a police officer says something on a personal social media platform when off duty and unrelated to his official functions yet he is fired. Why is this different?

It's not but there is the issue of possibly altered evidence.

If Strzok was a conservative in the FBI and he was ordered to investigate Obama and sent an email "I hate that ****" he would be fired, jailed and there would be a made for TV movie about it.

He was removed from the Russia investigation because of a perceived bias. So there's that...

That still doesn't prove that bias affected his decisions, but we all know they probably did.

Pretty much my point. Why is there a need to "prove" it?

The guy used a government cell phone to text his likewise government employed mistress to directly discuss the target of an investigation in derogatory terms. Why is everyone so wrapped around the axle about proof? He should be fired and gone immediately. No discussion needed.

Or if there was a text message from a murder suspect to someone else saying, shite, "I really wish so and so was dead, fricking a-hole" That would be exhibit number 1 and lead the investigators in a single direction, whereas here we have his texts laying out his intent, and it's oddly meaningless.

If he's to be criminally charged, then there is a need. I don't think there's a need to prove it for him to be fired.

Quite the coincidence that the candidate he liked walked from her investigation whereas the candidate he did not like is under great scrutiny. But totally just a coincidence.

Which is why I said that it probably affected his decisions.

I really want someone to ask him if he believes in "unconcious bias" . I think his head would explode.

Defendant: "I can assure you, judge, that my text messages were merely late night personal musings about the victim and by no means had any impact in my thinking when I killed him."

There are several other members of the SC group with perceived biased against Trump. One even attended the Hillary celebration. They weren't removed over biased, yet this guy was. Obviously the SC thought it was more than a perceived biased by Strzok, otherwise honest Bob would have removed the others who are perceived to be biased too, correct?

Are you dumb?

Racial texts would absolutely matter if someone of that race was negatively affected by his later actions.

Dont you agree?

The fact of the matter is that anyone who has political beliefs or any opinions about one of the candidates in a US Presidential election should not be able to work for the FBI. Right gang?

Why? And is there any evidence whatsoever supporting this or is this just one of those things we all know? Do we all just know that Trump's campaign colluded with Russia or are we waiting for evidence of that? When do we need proof and when do we not?

He shouldn't be involved in an investigation of that candidate who recieved never before heard of preferential treatment in her being "questioned".

It's the FBI for Gods sake. Not some podunct small town cops.

Reading his texts and following his actions...any human being who denies his bias is simply a lying POS

Did you read the OP? I specifically asked why it is that LEO's are fired ALL THE TIME for merely saying something racist. No one has to be negatively affected by later actions. The mere use of certain words brings down the hammer. Yet this guy says he is going to prevent a democratically elected individual from taking office and something needs to be "proved"? I don't get it.

Well, there is evidence straight from the horse's mouth that Strzok's bias would affect his decisions in investigating Trump. As far as I know, there is no evidence straight from Trump stating he colluded with Russia
