Trey Gowdy drops a bomb… (VIDEO)

(snip) -- I’ve seen the spreadsheet, Martha, I have seen each factual assertion listed in that dossier, and then I’ve seen the FBI’s justification. And when you’re citing newspaper articles as corroboration for a factual assertion that you have made, you don’t need an FBI agent to go do a Google search,” said Gowdy, who served on the House Intelligence Committee and is a Fox News contributor.

“When the name Sidney Blumenthal is included as part of your corroboration, and when you’re the world’s leading law enforcement agency, you have a problem.”

Gowdy did not further explain how the FBI used information from Blumenthal, but his claim could be a potential bombshell as investigators probe the FBI’s use of the dossier in its investigation of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.

Blumenthal, who is one of the Clintons’ closest political allies, was involved in shopping around a report that contained some of the same allegations about Donald Trump that were included in Steele’s document. That eight-page report was authored by Cody Shearer, another longtime Clinton insider who is close friends with Blumenthal.

Both Shearer and Blumenthal are considered controversial figures. Shearer first came to prominence in the early 1990s after he peddled false allegations that then-Vice President Dan Quayle bought marijuana from a man who was in prison at the time. Blumenthal helped stoke false rumors in the 2008 campaign that Barack Obama was not born in the U.S.

Gowdy is less useful than a cancerous tumor.

One of dozens of bombs dropped recently. Most of them must be on a timer because I haven't heard many explosions. I hope this goes BOOM!

The golden shower story is like “teabaggers”, something that only a fag pervert would come up with. Normal people don’t think that way.

This is something THE DEMS would do naturally, so it doesn’t sound implausible to them.

Chelsea Handler being a prime example...and there's a video on the web proving it.

“The same bots who wrote the post also wrote the replies.”

Watch out, there are plenty of “bots” around here who still think Pizzagate is real and the indictments will be coming down any day now.

Mr. Gowdy should be a talk show host. He’s really good at that, talking.

entire 7 minutes-plus is terrific, but at 5 minutes 57 seconds, Nunes says eventually it may come out that Steele may not himself have crafted much of the dossier, which was really a FusionGPS/Clinton campaign dossier.

Blumenthal and Cody Shearer - what part did they play in the crafting the dossier?

Agreed. But the likelihood of any of them paying the ultimate price is exactly zero. Perhaps even, negative 100 if it were possible.

The way things are stacked against any justice at all...I would be content with them loosing the majority of their liberties for 10 to 20.

...and may actually have shortened his life.


This is why I’m a bit concerned for Trump and his family. It would be overt for them to do anything at this point, but if they are desperate enough...

No...what I am saying is that the republicans have been rolling over for more than 2 years. Could there be a reason that fails to meet the eye?
