Gowdy: FBI acted properly with use of informant during 2016 campaign
The Hill ^ | 29 May 2018 | JULIA MANCHESTER

Posted on 05/29/2018 6:20:18 PM PDT by Magnatron

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said Tuesday he believes the FBI acted properly with its use of an informant to speak with several members of President Trump's 2016 campaign.

"I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got, and that it has nothing to do with Donald Trump," Gowdy said on Fox News's "The Story."

The idiot doesn’t know when to shut up.

Gowdy claims the FBI was given some sort of legitimate information and we all know for fact they weren’t.

“So what is the real reason for his retirement?”

that’s easy. Gowdy thought he’d by Hitlery’s pick for AG and since she ain’t prez, he’s quitting.

“This is ultimately a political problem. “

No, this is a criminal matter. You obviously haven’t been paying attention.

“Did Gowdy know about SPYGATE in real time?”

Without question, Gowdy knew of Spygate.

Gowdy is a god damned IDIOT!!!

An INFORMANT is someone who was always originally working within the Trump Sphere that WENT OUT TO Inform Law Enforcement of Misdeeds..

A SPY is someone who is SENT INTO an Organization like the Trump Campaign to gather information / manipulate people into actions legal or otherwise...

It was NOT an informant, the FBI sent a g-d damned SPY!!!

Why are there so many worthless Republican politicians from the Carolinas?

Because for years now, we’ve been inundated by Northeasterners coming down in some great migration. Many of them believe they’re conservative, but it’s the New York version, which is Democrat-lite. Hence Democrat-lites in office like Gowdy, Graham, Sanford, Pittenger (out!), and the ever-reprehensible Burr and Tillis.

“What a party. The GOP self immolation squad.”

_______

And yet we have to vote for them in the next election because the other side is worse. Every day another Republican is revealed as a liar, a crook, or a compromised dirt bag working for the uni-party.

The hardest part to accept is that we actually put these cretins in office, trusted them and held them in high regard. There doesn’t seem to be anyway out of this mess. How do we regain trust in our government?

"Someone should ask Trey Gowdy why the FBI hid their investigative witch hunt into the Trump team from congressional oversight for 8 months while leaking to the press if, as Gowdy said, the FBI “was doing what we would want them to do.” Don’t be fooled folks."

This guy fooled many of us for a long time.

He sure fooled me for a long time. I remember wondering some time ago why he spoke so strongly and yet nothing resulted from his words--but somehow still held out hope. This was definitely the last straw for me to have any hope in him. I am glad he is leaving.

Well, at least we now have confirmation Gowdy is compromised. No doubt Brennan used his massive illegal stolen compiled database on him, and many others.

Half of Congress is being blackmailed. And Supreme Court, etc. State, local, Federal.

They’ve got dirt on EVERYONE.

Took many years, but it’s been going on since Hillary and the FIB files. Never went away. Just expanded.

At what point in time did Gowdy quit connecting the dots, and why? What does the deep state have on him?

Gowdy speaks well, but there have never been actions that follow his tough questions. Why?

I do not trust Gowdy. He is lining himself up to get a federal judicial appointment, or a position within the FBI.

A wolf has some integrity Gowdy has none. he does not answer why they did not inform the trump campaign they worried about Russia. Also if Russian was such a concern why did they not have a spy(informant) trying to get info in the Clinton campaign. If he thinks the FBI did everything proper why the big fight to keep from releasing the Documents? That would prove trump has been wrong. Could it be that the FBI did not do thing proper and could they have had more than on person getting information? keep in mind that Gowdy thinks Mueller is a man of integrity. As they say birds of a feather flock together
