This Anon has been waiting for these two one-year delta Q posts to come around. I remember the linked video as if it was yesterday. And I've had some text waiting to post. But the bake moves very fast. Loved Admiral Rogers portion of the same hearing. TY tons Admiral Rogers!
>It might also give us context of TG role then and soon-to-be (even though he is getting a little hammered right now).
Yes, this is important. Thought it would be worthwhile to include one of the commentor's summary and further context of Gowdy and Comey exchange from the Real Clear Politics site since that was where I first saw it and made anonymous comments too.
>Sorry…it is quite long. Shout out to whomeever Ran72ger is from 3 years ago.

PART 1
>Ran72ger • 3 years ago:
In Monday’s House Intel committee hearing, Congressman Trey Gowdy laid out the structure for an investigation to follow into the leaking of classified material revolving around what happened to Mike Flynn. It is a question that commentators on this site have asked since early January, who authorized the “wiretap” on Flynn’s conversation and why. Gowdy structured the basis for an internal FBI investigation in his question and answer session with James Comey, head of the FBI. Most notable, he proved in Comey’s own testimony that the FBI must investigate the FBI and the Comey was a potential leaker, one of a few people able to gain access to the leaked information. Gowdy went on to establish how such an investigation should be conducted and set the stage for the second House hearing pointing out that the three witnesses appearing before them at that time (James Clapper, John Brennan, and Sally Yates) are also the potential leakers.
Gowdy’s rational for doing this is summed in one statement he made. “The names of US citizens that were supposed to be statutorily protected (by FISA allowed general collection of information) are no longer protected”. What follows is a step by step of how Gowdy laid the foundation for the following investigation that Comey must now conduct. Unlike the Hillary investigation, he has no President Obama or AG Loretta Lynch to act as a screen for him.
Monday, Comey used secrecy and criminal investigation as reasons to not answer questions. But now President Trump is in office. President Trump with one sentence can remove Comey from using either secrecy or criminal investigation as an excuse when he testifies before the House Intel Committee sometime in the future. If President Trump removes either reason, Comey would also be subjected to answering the wild accusations of the Dems on the Intel committee as the Dems continue their attempts to obstruct justice. In a sense Comey is safe until something happens that cause the Dems to go silent and stop confusing the issue; but after listening to the Gowdy/Comey exchanges, that may not be necessary.
-
Gowdy established the fact that Comey had people inside the FBI including Comey who should be suspects in the leaking of classified information collected without court order on Americans under a general collection process authorized by Congress.
-
Gowdy established that Comey agreed that it was vital and indispensable for the House to know the universe of people inside the FBI who could be potential leakers. Comey replied that the House Intel would get that info. Gowdy expanded the list to CIA, DOJ, and the White House.
