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."

When he returns to his Greenville, SC home, I hope he is met with the 100% shunning he so richly deserves.

Gowdy is simply facing reality. This is ultimately a political problem. All the FBI/IC have to do is to claim that they were simply responding to information with discreet questions. All the crying in the world, “Then why didn’t they warn DJT?” will not stand politically against that claim in the political arena. The people will.not.analyze the facts from a newz-junkie point of view.

>>Election cycles can’t fix what’s wrong with this nation.
*********************************************************
This is the heart of the matter.

Half this nation and all of D.C. (save a handful) need to be permanently deported. The remainder need to turn their hearts toward God and ask for His forgiveness and healing.

Then rebuild from the ground up, and this time, follow the Constitution!

How cool it would be if DJT released unredacted copies of the FBI files on every Congress person, Judge, MSM, and Hollyweirdo. Then there would be no more blackmail material left!

The truth of what must be done cannot be stated out loud or in print.

Looks like it’s going to be up to Trump alone to spell the facts out in all of this. Hopefully, this IG report coming out soon will blow the doors off of some of this.

“The GOP-e now KNOWS that 3-5 GOP Senators are looking at prison if this goes any further.”

Yes, that is what is going on. I’ve been saying for a long time that the Republicans are also implicated in this. Now how do we stop this obfuscation?

“What does Nunes have to say about the meeting?”

Damn good question!

Any FReepers in Nunes district who could call and ask?

Where are the reporters who should be asking him this as well?

How young was she, Gowdy? I guess you were really recognizable in the videos with her.

“Gowdy is simply facing reality.”

A Gowdy apologist weighs in.

"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,"

I have no patience for those who choose to insult my intelligence.

Any objective observer would say that for any indication or question in regards to Trump, there's libraries full in relation to Hillary.

Are all these 'impartial law enforcement professionals' representing they see nothing suspicious in regards to Hillary?

Again, they insult our intelligence...and that's rude.

perhaps Gowdy was caught up in the Sting? When this book is written, it will break all time sales.

I’m thinking that this sting operation could be a useful tool for the Republicans
