Thanks for the ping. The operative keyword is ONCE :)
Rep Gowdy seems to have lost his way.
Nailed it
Nines isn’t Mia the msm are not reporting on him
Gowdy didn’t even seen any documents.
“OTOH...Trump is not someone who will be cowed and slink away; he’s a fighter, a non-pol pol, the likes of whom NOBODY alive has EVER seen before!”
Exactly. He’s spent years dealing with slimy politicians. He knows what they are and where the dirt is. Plus, he now has the power to declassify anything he wishes.
Personally, I think he has all the cards to go nuclear on the Deep State at the time of his choosing.
How can this intelligent man not know that America is a Constitutional Republic?
VERY Nice analysis.
Agree. He also has financial resources that the Deep State has never had to deal with before. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he didn't have his own private investigation of them ongoing. They should be very, very afraid - particularly since I don't think most of them ever get to the level of national political office without having a lot of dirt on their hands.
There's something about this guy that just screams ‘snake’ to me. Most of the manipulative dolts that occupy public office are good at recognizing what the public wants to hear - and regurgitating that - with no sincere intentions of acting on the publics concerns. It's easy for them to spout, ‘lower taxes’, ‘stronger military’, ‘family values’, ‘get the economy going’, ‘jobs’, ‘less government’, etc. What matters is what their actions are, and this guy has done nothing but posture. Now he's undercutting the President.
Bump
Fox News led off with propaganda from Gowdy last night, then clips of that propaganda from other stations, then MORE deep state propaganda from “Judge” Napolitano last night. They’re engaged in a full-fledged propaganda effort to deny the FBI ever spied on Trump and, even if they did, claim that it meant nothing and, indeed, Trump should be endlessly grateful that they did.
And, of course, any time he complains about this, in their evil little minds he’s “obstructing justice” or some such garbage.
Congress has been compromised.
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.

It might be. Remember, President Trump seemed entirely willing to let Hillary skate on all of her crimes after the election - wrongly assuming, I suppose, that she’d simply go away and shut up. And, as much as it offends me to see justice applied differently in this country, I can understand that. It would be hard to “make America great again” if the left goes absolutely crazy because you’ve just locked up their candidate.
However, since Hillary doesn’t have the ability to shut up and the left has gone absolutely crazy ANYWAY, there’s no longer any reason to play Mr. Nice Guy - and if we had a real Attorney General instead of a castrated fossil perhaps something would have happened by now.
The problem is, when you have a group of corrupt politicians who think they can get away with anything because they’re THEM - you CAN’T allow that to become business as usual because it corrupts the entire government (which, I suspect, is pretty much the case anyway). If Obama’s guilty of crimes, arrest him. Period. If the blacks don’t like it, too bad.
Obama is stupid enough to let that be documented but the people around him were not. More likely Gowdy is looking at the CI investigation from a bit more knowledge than we have. For example we don't know if Mifsud is a Russian agent backed up with secret sources or if he was with MI6 and part of their plot against Trump. Papadop's hot Italian wife, Mangiante, is essentially part of the Mueller team now. She worked for Mifsud, knows everything and has spilled everything (had no lawyer). She was introduced to Mifsud around 2012 by Gianni Pittella, a high ranking Italian socialist who later campaigned for Clinton.
The remaining questions are the motive for Mifsud setting up Papadop (and thereby Trump) in March of 2016. That was before any dossier or FBI involvement as far as we know. Can't say automatically that the FBI had it in for Trump in March of 2016 and had Mifsud on the payroll, but we can't rule it out either,. Gowdy probably knows a little more than that, but not much more. So his worser instinct is to go with the theory of a Mifsud-Russia plot.
That's logical, but that only applies to Halper. Was the FBI involved with Mifsud setting up Papadop in March 2016? Were they already planning a Russian collusion sting back then? Seems unlikely. In any case Gowdy probably doesn't have many more facts than we do (see my previous post). There's no much other stuff underneath the redactions in Schiff's memo than the role of Mifsud and maybe one or two others. The bottom line is there is no collusion (Gowdy admits that) but there is still a question of what motivated the FBI and specifically Stzok other than animus against Trump and support for Hillary.
Not really. She is a nothing, collecting awards for losing the election. What she says is of no consequence whatsoever. She has no power. She doesn't even have an academy to propagandize the young like Obama does.
The idea that Sessions or superman in Session's place can somehow prosecute the FBI spying is a nonstarter. We don't know the evidence for the FBI CI investigation although some has unraveled. But there is still more.
