Turley: ‘Really Quite Troubling’ Peter Strzok Would Refuse Testifying in Public

RUSH EXCERPT:

TURLEY: "I think a lot of people are confused, including myself. I actually agreed with strzok’s attorney when he objected that his client have been put through this long closed session and then all these people are describing how he appeared and what he said. I do think that sort of unfair. I’ve never liked that. So he asked for that transcript to be made public and I agree that we should be the way it’s done. In fairness to him. But he also said he wanted to testify publicly and that also made a lot of sense. This doesn’t. To suddenly declare that they are not playing by the rules, I’m not so sure what those rules are. They had a closed session. He asked for a public session. They want a public session and now he’s saying he won’t do it. Part of the problem is that he is a public employee. It’s true he was shown the door at the department of justice but he is still an employee of the federal government. An oversight committee is seeking his information on a matter of great national importance. I find it really quite troubling that an FBI agent, let alone somebody with his seniority, would refuse that type of testimony."
