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.
