15 Do you recall whether the Democrat primary was still ongoing in March of 2016?

Mr. I'm not in a position to answer -- you gave a long preamble to that about things that I don't know from my own knowledge.

So I'm going to exclude that part of your preamble and just answer the question at the end.

Do I know whether the Democratic primary was ongoing in March of 2016? I think so, yes.

Mr. Well, let me back up, in fairness to you, and ask whether or not you've had a chance to read any of the text exchanges between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page?

Mr. I've seen some of them in the open source, in the media, obviously, since I was fired as Director.

Mr. Did you read any of them in preparation for today?

Mr. No, I did not.

Mr. So, if you are correct that the Democratic primary was still open in March of 2016, I read that as Special Agent Peter Strzok commenting that she should win the primary 100 million to zero.

And I guess an alternative reading of that would be that he already had her as the nominee and she should win the general 100 million to zero.

Is there another reading other than those two, winning the primary or winning the general?
