In January, House Intelligence Chairman, Devon Nunes, stated that he intended to have Strzok, Page, James Baker, Peter Priestap, and Bruce Ohr testify, but Nunes postponed the hearings. Why would Nunes do that, when he was on a roll?
It may be because he made a deal with the DOJ’s Rod Rosenstein to obtain the testimony of all five from Michael Horowitz’s Inspector General’s report, which is still incomplete.
If this is the case, and it appears to be, then keeping the five employed makes sense. It means they are all cooperating with a DOJ criminal investigation referred to them by Horowitz. Strzok, Page, Priestap, Baker, and Ohr are most likely exchanging their cooperation for lighter sentences, which is fine, if it leads to Comey, Lynch, Clapper, Breenan, Samantha Powers, Susan Rice, and maybe even to Obama himself. That’s a good trade.
We will know soon enough. If all of this is true, the you-know-what is about to hit the fan—big time.
