At the contentious and chaotic hearing before the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees Thursday, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) went after FBI Agent Peter Strzok, taking issue with a peculiar phrase Strzok once texted.
Strzok had texted fellow agent Lisa Page: “Just went to a southern Virginia Walmart. I could SMELL the Trump support.”
Goodlatte read the text and asked Strzok: “What does Trump support smell like?”
Strzok brushed aside the question, saying that he was conveying his shock in the “extraordinary difference in the expression of political opinion and belief” in southern Virginia from northern Virginia where he lives.
Goodlatte then insinuated that Strzok finds Trump supporters ignorant in an attempt to show that Strzok’s personal politics affected his work on FBI investigations.

“Please explain what this casual, euphemistic language means in this series of texts I am accusing you of treating as deadly serious”
Sit down, everybody, I’m about to say something that may shock you: I think it’s possible that Bob Goodlatte is a fucking idiot.
SMELLS LIKE A ROTTING CORPSE THERE BOBAROO!
and then Mr. Strozk gets up, flips him the bird, and walks out.
In my movie version anyway.

Badmilk seems to have dementia.
It smells like white sheets hung out on the line to dry.
