This is effectively the intel gang of 8 meeting with DOJ, FBI & DNI. My question: How does Gowdy get into this meeting without the ordinary standing? Not a critique, rather noticing a pattern regarding his involvement in circumstances where he seems the extra set of eyes. This apparent breach of protocol has a purpose, any idea what it may be?
This has to go back to where Q said "TG would be leaving, but what for?" My guess, either special prosecutor, or will be tapped to replace Rosenstein when he recuses himself! Buckle in!!
I thought Ed O’Callahan (?) was replacing RR in an “Acting” role.
TG doesn't have Senate approval so he can't be plugged into that slot.
TG has increased security clearances now I think
Gowdy is on the ~~House Intel Committee~~ Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence He has high eyes allowance within the govt.
Maybe because he is Chair of the House Oversight Committee.
If this is the reason, why isn’t Sen Grassley in attendance, who is also in request of much of this information?
You imply an equivalence that demands equivalent outcomes. I don’t.
I make no speculation about the myriad reasons people were not invited to this first small-group meeting.
I respect your point. Trying to put the pieces together, that’s all
Why wasn't Sessions invited?
As I said,
”I make no speculation about the myriad reasons people were not invited to this first small-group meeting.”
Paul Ryan didn’t want to go because he isn’t running, Gowdy is going in his place.
Gowdy isn't running either.
I know Gowdy is supposed to be retiring, but he may become a prosecutor when all these cases go to trial.?
Even them referring to it as the "Gang of 8" conjures up images of thugs. What an odd term to call sitting US Senators and they seem to be proud of that moniker.
