NAKED GUN: 2018 Style

I sat this morning and watched about 40 minutes of the Congressional episode yesterday with FBI agent Peter Strzok. 

After you look back over the landscape, the basic story, and the testimony....you are left with this image of some federal employee who is a fairly active at shagging some other federal employee, and spends a fair amount of time on text conversations with his fellow paramour.  I'd be guessing between one and two hours of every day was spent in text-chat....pretty nifty considering he's a government employee.

The problem is....normally, after something like this comes out (you being married and all), you end up going off (leaving the company or organization).  In Pete's case....he just lingers around.  He's lawyered up enough to figure you can't fire him.  He intends to stay around.  That means jokes being passed around behind his back, and marginal respect for the guy.  At some point, some FBI guy will say something that ticks Pete off and there's going to be some event to occur. 

Sessions?  He can't do much of anything.  He's stuck with a humper-dude....fixated on liaisons with the paramour. The House?  They don't seem able to do much either.  The President?  He's basically decided to make a reality show out of this, and feature the Humper and the paramour in some fake reality, which people will laugh over because they seem so serious while in the midst of a comedy routine.  In a way, it's the Trump production of Naked Gun with Leslie Nielsen.  As much as Pete appears serious....he's just playing Inspector Frank Drebin, with the hots for Jane Spencer (in this case, the paramour).
