          Strzok delivers the line that got leaked: that he could have destroyed Trump's campaign by leaking but never considered it. Calls RU interference "direct attack on democratic process."

          Gowdy notes investigation started on 7/31/16. FBI has represented nothing from investigative standpoint started before 7/31. 10 days before investigation, you said Trump disaster, no idea how destabilizing he'd be.
