Republican Trey Gowdy suggests deputy FBI director will be ousted by next week
Business Insider ^ | December 15, 2017 | Eliza Relman

Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, suggested in a Friday interview that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe will be forced out at the top law enforcement agency as soon as next week.

Gowdy argued that newly released FBI records reveal political bias against President Donald Trump — and in favor of Hillary Clinton — at the highest levels of the FBI. Gowdy said that McCabe will likely be pushed out of the agency as a result of the perceived bias.

"I'll be a little bit surprised if he's still an employee of the FBI this time next week," Gowdy told Fox News of McCabe, adding that he would be "shocked" if McCabe testifies before the House next week.

If McCabe splits from the FBI before Tuesday, will he still have to testify before Congress on that day as he is scheduled to do?

Congress critters are probably looking for a reason to let him walk. They may consider him losing his job to be the end of the matter.

Slowly....the never Trump scumbags are going down. I figured old Andy was never going to get before congress after we learned what was going on in his office.

Doesn’t make a difference. McCabe is not going to give any information to ANY Committee. He will lie, take the fifth and/or use the newest Liberal meme(Wrong Committee). The removal of McCabe by any means is a great positive move. Many more to go.

Probably won’t happen. Gowdy has yet to accomplish a damn thing except put on a show when the camera is on.

FBI Deputy Directors have always left the agency when a new Director takes over. The new Director wants his own deputy.

McCabe leaving with pension intact was going to happen soon anyway.

Yep. Leaving the FBI won’t give him any protection from subpoenas in the future. If and when a formal investigation is initiated his goose is cooked.

Total POS, as responsible as the Fraud for the Fraud’s crimes against America for the SIX YEARS Gowdy shared with him in office.

Gowdy did not suggest that McCabe would be ousted.

Gowdy said he wouldn’t be surprised if McCabe resigned before he comes before the committee next week.

“Have no confidence in this Ankle Biter”

True, but the Chihuahua is probably clued into something going on this time.

The behind the scenes negotiating is probably winding up, and the heads to roll have been selected.

These are law enforcement officers but they were violating the Hatch act at every turn, trying to get their gal in office.

Here’s just one section the Fibs violated, at random:
(2)
(A) No employee described under subparagraph (B) (except one appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate), may take an active part in political management or political campaigns.
(B) The provisions of subparagraph (A) shall apply to—
(i) an employee of—
(I) the Federal Election Commission or the Election Assistance Commission;
(II) the Federal Bureau of Investigation;
(III) the Secret Service;
(IV) the Central Intelligence Agency;
(V) the National Security Council;
(VI) the National Security Agency;
(VII) the Defense Inte

The zinger is about 2:50 into the clip.

While what you say is likely true...Gowdy is no barometer....He is only an Attack Chihuahua.....hair and all.......

He NEVER produces.....except to create short-lived fireworks that somehow he continues to mistake for career/reputation advancement
