Gowdy appears to accidentally release CIA source's name
Politico ^ | 10/19/2015 | Josh Gerstein

House Benghazi Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy appears to have accidentally released the name of a CIA source in the midst of a back-and-forth with Democrats about how sensitive the information was and whether its presence in former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email account constituted a security breach.

Gowdy’s aides blamed the State Department for the disclosure, and the agency acknowledged Monday a “human error” led to a failure to delete a name from the email in question.

If it was in the emails then it was already compromised.

Did the DemocRATS do it on purpose to try to get Gowdy removed from the committee ..???????

If the DemocRATS succeed, you can rely on the committee being disbanded. There is no way they want Hillary on the stand NOW .. especially when she learns that Joe will enter the race against her .. she might just explode and spill a whole lot of beans the DemocRATS want to keep hidden.

You are correct- “Mousa Kousa” has been out there a long time, though the spelling was “Musa Kusa.”

This was no error. By releasing the name they’re trying to moot any damage Hillary may have done.

Another strategy is group culpability. Everybody who touches those State Department Email releases and mishandles them is subject to the same Laws Hillary and Patraeus was. However, when there’s 25 of them, the Clinton team will belittle the charges and point there, and there and there.

Nothing will come from the Committee hearings.

Why Hillary’s Upcoming Congressional Testimony is a Total Farce, a Charade To Shield Congress…

It's all kabuki.

Obviously, you’ve never dealt with a “woman scorned” .. and this is her second go-round.

She might just lose it this time.

The DemocRATS are playing with fire .. and this time they might just get burned - big time.

If Josh Gerstein and Politico were reputable and honest - which they are not - the headline wopuld have said “OBAMA STATE DEPARTMENT releases name of CIA official.”

Trey, Hit Her Hard—she will hit you with all she’s got. If she’s elected President—your life will not be worth a plug nickle. There will be a “car wreck”—or a “heart attack” or a “robbery gone wrong”. Within six months of her term of office you will be GONE—I think. Doubt it? Ask Breitbart but you will need a ouija board to do so and there is a whole list of others. I will stick my neck out and say Obama will not survive as well—he knows too much.

In Japan Kabuki still brings in money but actual public comprehension of it is so thin that they actually PAY plants in the audience to INDICATE at what drama points audience laughter is proper.

And the audience DOES comply.

Its...kind of eery.

And boring.

How are we different...?

Sitcoms taped in front of live audiences here used to do the same thing.

The week of the long knives are out for Trey Gowdy.

The Establishment/Clinton team are very afraid, it seems to me. “Hysterical” in their behavior is not too much of an overstatement.

I would just say they all have plenty to worry about. Trey is obviously laying his hands on some serious stuff.
