Gowdy went full Black Hat. The mask is off.

Treason from within.

Sessions “testifying against Trump”? Is this supposition on your part. Sessions isn’t testifying against Trump- he could not, for his own sake do so. Do you somehow think Mueller has “taken over” his real boss (recused or not) through Rosenstein? This is Constitutionally not possible, and no— Sessions is not a “witness” even if he thinks (on the basis of the poisonous work of Rosenstein using the dossier to convince him of his need, under “dept. rules” to recuse— which was, to put it bluntly bullcrap)- he’s not a “witness” even on the flimsy “you had a conversation with Ambassador Kislyak” bullcrap again.

No, it is time for Sessions to “unrecuse” on the Constitutional basis that an appointment Rosenstein was never empowered to make, was made, and for which Rosenstein should have properly sought prior Senate approval as in any AG (or acting AG) appointment of a US Attorney must be- under the Constitution. That’s textbook US LAW. period.

Something big is coming down the pike, and it is the first indictments from Huber on the reccomendations from the IG report, as regards the illegal actions of the Dir. of CIA,Dir. of National Intel, and Mr. Comey former FBI director as regards false use of application for FISA warrants— just for a start. OK?

You’ll be hearing from Nunes rather soon- probably tomorrow AM or PM latest. Nunes has to be apoplectic on his committee member’s mendacity to him, and his fellow Intel committee members from the R party (even the doofus’s).

Don’t forget the largely silent roll up of the pedophiles— the numbers are massive, and the dockets so far, secret. After all the former Speaker of the House Hastert paid hush money for years for his male rape victim to keep silent (and who knows how many others).

McCarthy sarcastically and brilliantly rips Gowdy a new one, and categorically demolishes what a moron play along liar Rubio must be. And does it clinically thoroughly, through actual Congressional testimony they BOTH heard live and for which they have transcripts.

Pretty damning condemnation— and extending right into and thru Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Comey (Lynch by inference) and.....Obamaumao his own non-present self. We had better have great folks watching the airports and FBO private strips/facilities— with possible military aircraft intervention for illegal flight. And double out the Clinton Secret Service detail as well as obamaumao’s Kalorama and travel crew.

Not the whole FBI. Just everyone who got their position by political appointment.

Funny how Gowdy changed his tune immediately following his recent meeting with Rosenstein & Co. Allegedly, Nunes and Gowdy were NOT GIVEN ANY DOCUMENTS DURING THIS MEETING AS THEY WERE LED TO BELIEVE THEY WOULD..

Oh wait.. There is ONE document Gowdy was allowed to review AND IT PROBABLY WAS AN FBI FOLDER PUSHED FORWARD TO HIM ON THE TABLE WITH HIS NAME ON IT.

Was Nunes shown an FBI folder with his name on it, too? HE'S BEEN REALLY QUIET SINCE THAT MEETING.

Well we know McCain wasn’t filling Linda Graham’s.... “shoes” so to speak (Graham kisses “her” goodbye every morning in DC, a fact well known to the DC press corps), so one wonders if somehow Gowdy thinks he can run against Graham and.. win. He forgets how SC went for Trump— and since Gowdy was a Rubio loser man (free labor/migrant worker’s veggie picker express).

Gowdy like many other former DOJ types almost certainly entertains the possibility that he might in the future be up for a position like federal judge or AG or even Supreme Court Justice that requires confirmation by the Senate.

People like that never want to stray too far from the Uniparty position. They are betting with conventional wisdom that the Uniparty will outlast Trump.

Give McCarthy credit. I believe he calls them as he sees them, and to the extent he has been slow (quite slow in certain respects) to come around to recognize the wrongdoing in the DOJ/FBI as well as to sufficiently appreciate the potential for abuse in the post-9/11 powers we gave the federal government, it was not out of career ambition but out of a genuine affection and emotion for the institution with which he was so long associated.

Yes, that will be an interesting struggle. They have not learned what a losing proposition it is for any republican who can not cure their TDS. That ship of cheap labor express-free trade (hell with fair trade)-globalist republican elites has drowned in the Bermuda triangle of America First-fair trade-immigration control world of Trump.

Keep praying everyone for evil to be exposed and dismantled in this country and for the protection of our President and Vice President and all those who are working hard and honorable for the nation. God knew the ending of this saga from the beginning. But in between we must ask for wisdom and guidance in the Name of Jesus. To do otherwise is fruitless.

Really, really good analysis by McCarthy. He takes Gowdy and Rubio apart.

The target was the Trump Campaign. The incumbent party used every intellegence tool available to spy on the Trump Campaign. Including at least one spy. And secret warrants, wiretaps, planted evidence...

And now, imho, blackmail of Rubio and Gowdy.

I think something big is coming down the pike, and I don’t think it is good for Trump. The doj/fbi IG report is going to be a nothing burger and the way gowdy, rosenwiesel and the rest are acting, they think they have Trump. With sessions testifying against Trump and Nunes suddenly mia, there is no one left. The deep state is about to go for broke.

Stay positive.

Kind of ironic.

Call it Jamie Gorelick’s Revenge.

After 9/11 everyone was unhappy with Gorelick’s Wall which hindered information about Islamic terrorists from being shared between the criminal side and the counterintelligence side.

Of course, we take down the wall to better fight the Islamic terrorists and then crypto-Muslim-commie Obama promptly turns around and uses it against his political opposition.

I agree Andrew McCarthy factually rebuts Mr. Gowdy’s attempt to whitewash the DOJ and FBI action in this matter. However, motivation for this half baked justification is not clear. Without full access to the evidence, all we can do is speculate and the most obvious conclusion is a cover up. But why?

Without anything real to base it on, I would offer one line of speculation that I haven’t seen yet. What if a document or other conclusive evidence has been uncovered showing Obama’s personal and direct involvement in organizing and carrying out a major crime. Considering he was the first black president and the country is now more racially divided than any time in recent history, that would be motivation for someone like Gowdy and other normally honest individuals to conclude that for the good of the country they must suppress the truth. After all, the default position for government leadership is to cut a deal to avoid difficult problems. Possibly they think they can finesse the issue by having Mueller issue a non-conclusive report and just drop the issue.

I don’t think such an approach would be tolerated by President Trump but it is possible the investigation has uncovered something so bad people in the system have become convinced it can’t be exposed.

when Gowdy announced he wouldn’t run again, it was inevitable we would get a stunt like the one he pulled yesterday.

drain the swamp.
