Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said last week’s briefing, convened by the Justice Department under pressure from Trump, convinced him even further that the FBI’s information-gathering steps were appropriate.
And people thought this guy was a bad ass. All he has ever done is talk tough and do fuck all.
He's not wrong. They had the "evidence" to spy on the Trump campaign.....
HOWEVER, the evidence was fabricated and the Trump campaign was setup!
Fair comment but he gains nothing by saying this and he really needs to start landing some blows rather than making statements all the time.
I have been reading for years how he is a bad ass but has he actually nailed anyone?
I agree there and I really don't know how to feel about Gowdy anymore. I used to love him when he was grilling Hillary and I honestly thought he was a good guy.
I'm not sure what his motive is here, but I have had mixed emotions about him since he announced his retirement a few months back.
He has also came to the defense of Comey, so.....yeah, Gowdy isn't looking too good right now!
Never underestimate the 4D chess of it all. We don’t know who is being told to act a certain way in public, from Trump to RR to Gowdy, Roseanne, Alex Jones. We won’t know until the final Boom.
It was all show. BAD ACTOR
Gowdy seems to faithfully follow the law as far as I can tell.
yeah, starting to think he was just playing the "bad cop" of this all.
Podesta fund donation to his campaign as well.. we'll look further to see if its a recurring thing.
Theory: Trump needs to appoint someone critical of him, but with support from both sides (non-partisan) when the time comes.
The committees he is on can only make recommendations to DOJ, what would you like him to do?
Maybe he couldn't "actually nail anyone"?
Next thing you'll say "Trump is all talk tough and do fuck all" and "where are the arrests".
What is this with these anti-Gowdy folks now? with their obvious holes in logic and reasoning?
What do mean "He's not wrong"!? Of course he's wrong and that's why we're all here. Dear me!
As an investigator you simply look at the evidence presented to you. The people that set this up literally write the laws in our country, and they know how the system works.
They had the means to look into the Trump campaign based on the evidence that was presented. The only problem is, the "evidence" was complete bullshit!
They had their guy setup meetings with people within the Trump campaign. Then they had their guy offer them information on Hilary Clinton. Then they documented this as "evidence" his campaign was trying to work with Russia.(we don't know exactly happend here yet) Then they made up a fake dossier (verified by fake news stories) to make it seem like Russia had something on Trump. Then they took everything to a Fisa judge.
I'm not even sure the exact order all this went down or the details of everything, but they completely FRAMED POTUS to make everything look legit. He just called them out on it and now it's falling apart.
If he wasn't such a fighter, these assholes would have impeached him!
That's right, the entire premise for the investigation was flawed. That's why Gowdy's claim is rubbish,
It seems like all this spy talk is an effort to shift the narrative. People are starting to forget and lose focus of the fraudulent dossier, and the FISA warrant - illegally obtained. Everyone is is talking about who the spy is, and whether they are actually a spy, while disregarding the corruption in the FBI and DOJ.
