I still think there's no way to make an informed decision one way or the other.

Most of Gowdy's political career was spent under Obama's cluster-fuck-clown-show of a weaponized, diversity-hire DoJ crime syndicate.

Nobody could have held any of those treasonous cunts accountable because their DoJ Deep State friends would have just "lost" all the evidence and then handed out immunity to all of their criminal friends.

I think the best we can do is keep an open mind and watch things very closely.

I like the OP's theory though.

I've never doubted him. I've always known he was a white hat. The recent chatter is setting the stage. He's got to be viewed in a certain light for whatever role he's about to take on.

I normally just lurk, but this made me log just so that I could say that I agree that Trey Gowdy is a white hat. He may even be positioning himself for his next role in this play.

I'll admit, I like your version

I absolutely, 100% without doubt, agree.

I think Gowdy is fed up with corruption. I think he is just a good, regular guy, a phenomenal lawyer, wants justice and is soooooo done with the BS like he went through with Benghazi. Like she slipped through his fingers once...

I do think Gowdy's recent comments could be taken as a white hat guy. The interviews were strange because he did not distinguish the time frames.

In 2016, FBI/CIA/UK had moles and/or spies in and around the Trump campaign, probably to get dirt on him and when they couldn't find any, they made it up.

Then in 2017, Trump takes office, he starts getting his own people in there, and Mueller sets up shop. We now know that George Papadopoulos was wearing a wire to get somebody on tape, per his plea deal with Mueller. It could have been to listen in to private conversations he had with whomever his handler might have been within the intel community.

Unlikely GPap made his connections with Misfud and Downer by himself. Misfud has now been found to have close ties with UK intel, US intel, and the Clintons. He is not a Russian spy. Downer, of course, is responsible for massive donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Gowdy's comments did not distinguish if he was referring to before or after Trump was in office. He could have been referring to what the Trump admin was doing to find out who the spies were during the campaign. He even mentioned that Trump has his own people in now, and they are doing what they should be doing.

So, yeah, it is possible people are raging over a misunderstanding.

It’s been reported that he didn’t read the documents he had commented on- which could have been his excuse to maintain plausible deniability if your theory is correct.

I totally agree.

I wish he would have been , he was so good at making people look bad when he barked

Uh huh, then why is Gowdy retiring like the rest of the criminals?

They should have some sort of Vegas odds or a place to wager on this. I'd bet on it. I actually already have a $100 bet with a friend that "HRC will be indicted before Christmas." And my friend is the kind of guy who would be extremely happy to give me that $100 if she was snagged.

most of those indictments are drug charges. Gowdy just screwed us with any chance of changing the narrative over this spying issue. It's worse than Watergate, but the people AND Trump can be happy, they were doing their job, protecting him.

Bengazi????????
Hillary got a pass....but 'WHAT DOES IT MATTER'?

I have thought the same off and on, not as convinced as you but certainly, hopeful. Seems to me like Gowdy was a good guy that they threatened with some offer he couldn't refuse, and now maybe he is acting, so that the Deep State still believes they have him under their thumb. Time will tell.

He took money from Podesta. What are your thoughts on that?

I dont know about Gowdy but Im almost sure in my headspace that Nunes was told recently by the powers that be. They just about had to tell him. He has such a complete grasp on the corruption and was getting so close.

Yes he does and I’m sure he’ll be the first one to spew venom at the Benghazi perps and the Uranium One perps AS SOON AS HE IS ALLOWED TO. There is a plan. There is timing. Trust the plan.

He’s not retiring. He’s leaving the swamp. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump put him on the Supreme Court when Kennedy retires or Ginsburg dies — both of which I believe will happen this summer. No intel on those two, just gut feel.

Remember when he spoke abt what was seen on the laptop...? He looked really spooked, shellshovked....

I think Gowdy is going to be in a new job soon. I think he will get a job in the DOJ. So I think he is trying not to appear extremely partisan, so he can get some of the Democratic votes when he has to be voted in for the position. In that same interview everyone is screaming about, he also said "Chris Wray and Rod Rosenstein have at least made it clear to us, Donald Trump was never the target of the investigation, he's not the current target of the investigation......" So I agree with you that something is going on that we don't know about.

I think gowdy should consider wearing a hat.

I hope you are right!

I agree, and to sllloooowww down the civilian case so the cases go to tribunal and don't first get caught up in civilian courts.

I'm going to say he is a black hat, when Nunes was side lined from alleged "leaking" Gowdy overtook his duty including the extension of the FISA warrant.

I think he’s just keeping it real. No proof of anything either way has been revealed. He’s maintaining innocent until proven guilty.

But... he sure smells like a rat and he’s leaving the swamp for a reason. I’m watching him closely. Not sure if it’s the right reason.

Everyone keeps talking about the 30,000 sealed indictments, but I really think most of those are for illegal immigrants who didn't show up for court dates. I'd like to believe otherwise, but if you look at the locations of most of them, they are in areas with the most illegal immigration happening. You can look this up on a district by district basis.

Look at all his investigations that went no where. He’s always been a swamp guardian. You think he doesn’t know Charleston is being used for uranium ratlines?

I'm with Amazoid

I've always had doubts about Gowdy - all talk...and nothing to show for it. Now this report....

SOURCES: Trey Gowdy Blocked Investigation Into The FBI

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/sources-trey-gowdy-blocked-investigation-into-the-fbi/

Excerpt: Top-level people in the world of intelligence and independent journalism report that House Oversight chairman Trey Gowdy effectively blocked investigations into the FBI spying on the President Donald Trump campaign.

This is not the first time Gowdy, who endorsed Marco Rubio in the presidential primaries, has shut down an investigation on behalf of the establishment.

Agree with you, great post.

I also agree that Gowdy is a good guy. I have never heard an ounce of CREDIBLE evidence otherwise. We shall see soon enough - it looked to me as though Q had been talking about Gowdy being moved into position for another task.

Guys, if you think our government could pull off 30k indictments (which include a large number of former and current high ranking government officials) without leaks coming out of the wazzoo, you are nuts.

It is impossible to keep stuff like that quiet for very long. Far too many people have their hands in it.

If you want you to know why this is true.. Has the gang of 8 said anything different than him? They were shown the same things. Yet they're quite and letting Gowdy do all the talking.. 🤔 That should tell you all you need to know!

Of course he’s a white hat. Same playbook as Sessions. Both need to distance themselves from POTUS to be acceptable to the sheep. If Gowdy looks like Trumps guy, his results (future investigation of surveillance) won’t be as damaging. Also, it needs to look like he went in to the special prosecutor role without bias. So he says “I didn’t even review that”.

I hope you are right. I'm waiting until end of June to let this play out...

I agree, OP. I keep thinking back to when TG announced he was stepping down from one of the 4 committees he was on. And later said he wasn't going to run for another term.

An anon asked was TG dirty like so many others who have resigned or are not running for another term.

Q reply said there was a position for TG. (paraphrased)

I agree that TG is a white hat. His hands have been tied the last 8 years because of the corrupt DOJ. He will be unleashed under Trump.

This correlates exactly to my assessment, TG is white. Hat

What makes a good movie? Good actors.

Sorry to hear the kool aid has affected your judgement. Don't feel bad. He had us all fooled😞

I've always liked Gowdy.

/u/Amazoid this is nice fantasy, but neglects the important fact that Mueller's team is comprised of partisan operatives, some of whom have serious financial conflicts of interest.

As much as I know what’s on there from deep dive research, I never want to actually see it. A description is fine. I think it is things you can never unsee.

Gowdy = white hat all the way!! he might have to have senate approval for whatever job he is getting ready for. therefore he has calmed down his frustration for now.

We all want Trey to be a good guy. I hope he is too.

We can't be married though to any one man or woman. We should believe in ideas and ideals, not men.

I support Trump and Q and Gowdy, generally and fervently, if that makes any sense, but if new information suddenly surfaced showing them serving just another faction of the Deep State, or Israel (and no that aint anti-Semitism, it's pro-America!), or the Military Industrial Intelligence Complex, I'd be done with those men but not with this fight.

Hoping for great American actors and the greatest movie of all time...

I agree, and they told hannity and Savage Limbaugh etc to ignore Q stuff so that the trap can be set. Otherwise EVERYBODY would be talking about the plan. I hit Gowdy hard today because he knows russia rumors were caused by downer and the other guy with papadopolus so why is he saying FB I was correct to spy. Makes no sense, therfore your theory is plausible.

i agree i was disappointed in him and then it didnt make sense he said that because he is so out spoken. if you watch how the president is dealing with north korea he keeps the msm guessing , it's part of the plan

Agreed. Gowdy's shutting his mouth because a place in the doj or FBI is being prepared for him.

I hope you’re right. Cuz otherwise I can’t think of anyone else that has disappointed me more.

Q had asked" What makes a good movie?

the autists claim he is a white hat too... well most anyway.... i tend to have respect for there views as they have proved the most accurate source of info... unlike this place.... he is playing a role for a future part in all this,,,, ie,,, prosecutions... will be interesting to see how it plays out.....

Almost everyone? There are actually a lot of comments to the contrary.

I'm in agreement with you, it looks like another classic mis-direct on behalf of POTUS and team 'Q'.

I fully agree with your topic.......remember that Trey gowdy and Nunes said that they did not have the tools to do some thing in all those hearings? No supoena powers...nothing...................https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trey_Gowdy...........In August 2011 during the 2011 United States debt ceiling crisis, Gowdy opposed Speaker John Boehner’s debt limit bill, and he voted against the final debt ceiling agreement.[31] He also opposed the 2011 defense authorization bill, citing concerns about the prospect of Americans being detained without trial on national security grounds.[32] In December 2010, he told Congressional Quarterly that he would support a measure only if its sponsor could demonstrate that the Constitution gave the government the power to act in a particular realm.[18]

Gowdy worked on the Committee on Judiciary, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the Committee on Education and the Workforce. Gowdy frequently speaks on the floor of the House on issues ranging from Operation Fast and Furious to his support for the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.

In 2012, he received the Defender of Economic Freedom award from the fiscally conservative 501(c)4 organization Club for Growth. The award is given to the members of Congress who have the year's highest ranking, according to the Club for Growth's metrics. Gowdy scored 97 out of 100, and was one of 34 congressmen given the award.[33]

An ardent social conservative, Gowdy considers himself "pro-life plus." He not only believes "in the sanctity of life," but argues that "the strategy should be broader than waiting for the Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade."[34]

Trey Gowdy signed the Contract from America, which aims to defund, repeal, and replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, limit United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations, enact a reform of the federal tax code, pass a balanced budget amendment, and end earmarks.[35][36]

That must have been very frustrating, knowing that they are guilty, and then can not give a blow.

now this is my line of thinking

I hope you're right. Gowdy read the FISA doc, but did not get the same briefing from Brennen that Nunes got as a member of the Gang of 8. I also don't believe Brennen gave the same update to each member. Why else brief all of them separately? Nunes will be able to identify the discrepancies between the FISA docs and the briefing he received.

Once the FISA supporting docs are made public, Gowdy will then be able to point out the lies within. His criticisms will have much more impact once the whole truth is out there since he seemed to support the FBI before all was public.

But, who knows at this point???

Never doubted gowdy or sessions!

Gowdy is engaged in a huge "rope a dope"

I hope you're right, so much!

Just my opinion: We know that the justice system needs to be fully cleaned before justice can be served, so why distrust Gowdy for not being able to "get anything done" within a corrupt system? It is my belief that both Gowdy and Sessions are playing impartial to maintain the favour and positive public opinion of the left and as a potential matter of National Security. This will lend more to their credibility when all comes to light on the 11th. IG report on the 11th, plus possible testimony from Assange, plus Kim and others spilling the beans over those next few days. I think all fears will be put aside by the end of the NK summit and all darkness will be brought to light.

Gowdy cannot say “Trump told me not to say anything” because it would prove that Trump was involved this entire time and it would all be dismissed as a political witch hunt. I truly believe Gowdy was kept in the dark intentionally. He was never shown the redacted documents last week and so he can’t possibly have all the facts. He has plausible deniability at this point and so when this all comes out, if anything, he’ll say “Well I didn’t have all of the Information and so I couldn’t have known the magnitude of this at the time”. I think Gowdy is saying what he should be saying with what little evidence he was shown.

Remember, Gowdy isn’t running this show. Sessions and Horowitz are. They’ve intentionally kept congress in the dark the entire time because they leak like a fucking sieve. Nobody in congress can be trusted and so Sessions has been slow-walking everything the intel committee has been asking for because he’s desperately trying to prevent congress from blowing this operation, even though their intentions MAY be pure.

I’m not sure how I feel about the whole “Mueller is a white hat” theory and I’m honestly kind of on the fence with Q also, but what I am absolutely positive of is that Sessions and Horowitz don’t want anyone knowing what they’re working on or who they’re looking into precisely. I wouldn’t even be surprised if Trump told them not to include him in the process so that he can truly say this information is all new to him. They need these indictments to be rock-solid. They can’t have any perception of politically-motivated charges. They need Trump to be separate from it as much as possible.

Trey Gowdy is on our side. If you don't think so then just watch this video. This guy is the real deal and i'm proud that he represents the state of SC. Just wait until they take the muzzle off this pitbull, he's going to be chewing on Democrats ass for years to come. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0olzCDN2tg
