Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., questions FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok during a hearing on

Bobby Goodlatte[1], the adult son of House Judiciary[2] Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte, denounced his father in light of former FBI[3] agent Peter Strzok[4]’s firing Monday.

Mr. Goodlatte[5] blamed his father’s “political grandstanding” as the reason Mr. Strzok[6] had no future at the FBI[7].

I’m deeply embarrassed that Peter Strzok[8]’s career was ruined by my father’s political grandstanding. That committee hearing was a low point for Congress.

Thank you for your service sir. You are a patriot https://t.co/3dNN3AlXCZ[9]...

Bobby Goodlatte (@rsg) August 13, 2018[10][11] Mr. Strzok[12]’s attorney confirmed to The Washington Post Monday that his client was fired from the federal agency because of anti-Trump messages he sent to his then-lover and fellow FBI[13] employee Lisa Page. The termination was handed down by Deputy Director David Bowdich in a move that was much harsher than the FBI[14]’s disciplinary office initially called for. In July, Mr. Strzok[15] had a public testimony in front of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, which the elder Mr. Goodlatte[16] led. Republican lawmakers grilled the agent, who denied being politically biased despite his opinionated text messages. “Mr. Strzok[17] and others inside the FBI[18] and DOJ turned our system of justice on its head,” Mr. Goodlatte[19] said during his opening statement.
