From FBI Agent Peter Strzok's opening remarks at the joint House Judiciary and Oversight Committee hearing: <blockquote>PETER STRZOK: Let me be clear, unequivocally and under oath: not once in my 26 years of defending my nation did my personal opinions impact any official action I took... I understand we are living in a political era in which insults and insinuation often drown out honesty and integrity. I have the utmost respect for Congress's oversight role, but I truly believe that today's hearing is just another victory notch in Putin's belt and another milestone in our enemies' campaign to tear America apart.</blockquote>
