On Friday, one day after marathon testimony from FBI agent Peter Strzok, attorney Lisa Page testified to House members in a closed session. Page is no longer with the FBI, but on Friday the powerful federal agency, formerly headed by Robert Mueller, James Comey, and now by Christopher Wray, was telling the independent woman when to keep her mouth shut.
“Lisa Page is not an FBI employee,” Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican, told reporters, “but the FBI was here providing counsel and giving her direction as to which questions to answer or not answer and there is a question as to the propriety of that before the House.” Gaetz did not reveal which questions the FBI attorneys instructed Page not to answer, nor how many times the FBI had slapped on the gag order. Gaetz did say “I didn’t agree with her characterization of every text message and every piece of evidence. But we did not see the smug attitude from Lisa Page that we saw from Peter Strzok.”
