“I bet he already has evidence and wants her to lie under oath.”

That’s what I’m thinking/hoping!

Gowdy is smart, even though he plays a bit of a Country Bumpkin.

Gowdy’s prosecutorial background points in the direction,”Never ask a question, in Court, you don’t know the answer to beforehand”.

Of course we should not forget he’s having to work under the Speakership of one of the sorriest Speakers since Jim Wright.

No, this is a smart move. Hillary! is being pinned by being forced to testify under oath. Once she does that she comes under perjury charges.

Gowdy’s thinking strategically here. This is good.

Gowdy: If she were, under some theory, able to say, ‘yes, I can promise you under penalty of perjury you have every single document you’re entitled to,’ that would probably shut off that line of inquiry.

The media cannot now claim this is a witch hunt or fishing expedition. It closes off the one tool Hillary! has: the media. Gowdy’s simply asking her to come in and talk under oath.

If she’s honest and this is all just a big hullabaloo, then all’s well. She’s testified before and she’s in DC all the time. This will grind her up and is grist to the mill for our side.

Perjury is no big deal to the committee. They have had a constant stream of liars. They are all breaking rocks! NOT

He might be thinking he has something she is unaware of, but in that case he would be sorely mistaken. I am confident she knows everything that he has, and has a strategy to counter it.

Our government is entirely corrupted. Both parties are involved. There is but a pitifully small powerless group left to defend the rights of the people against the ruling elite of both parties.

Did you really read what he said, “... under penalty of perjury” .. which means that if they gain access to the “erased emails” .. and they indicate that SHE LIED .. under the “penalty of perjury” .. she could be charged.

Mr. Gowdy is not a fool.

Read Gowdy’s words. Hitlery will never swear to anything about her e-mail under penalty of perjury and Gowdy knows it.

Yes there is a legal angle here, and there is a political one. He may not be able to get her on the legal angle (for various reasons), but he may be able to tie her up politically. If she doesn't agree to testify, under oath, that she has given all relevant e-mails to the committee, he gives a ton of ammunition to her political opponents. That could keep her off message, and on defense throughout the presidential campaign. I think that Trey Gowdy is brilliant here.

The knee jerks around here get so tiresome! If they don’t like their Congressthing, let them run for office or stfu. It’s so easy to sit behind a keyboard and complain about what those in the arena are doing.

I think he has some very relevant tricks up his sleeve. He is a bulldog and doesn’t give up easily. I think he’s setting her up....IMHO....
