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.

He’ll be forced to finance his own defense. I hope he goes broke.

Maybe he'll get another hand-out from McAuliffe....on second thought, nah.

In Gowdy’s current roll as a Congressman, he can only attack in 5 minute chunks. He is a eunich by design. If he were in a different role, maybe he could sprout real testicles, and become a productive bulldog with a staff and multiple sets of handcuffs.

I know at least one of them have done that this week but it ain't their damn place to.

Next one who wants to pick and choose the committee he's willing to talk to ought to be given a little time to think it over... in the congress jail.

McCabe, the second highest ranking FBI official, emphatically declared at the invite-only gathering with raised voice: “F--k Flynn and then we F--k Trump,” according to direct sources. Many of his top lieutenants applauded and cheered such rhetoric. A scattered few did not.

Gowdy should be attorney general.

Anybody with anything to hide would leave the country and go to a country with a non-extradition treaty. With that, you’d know who the dirty people are. Try them in absentia.

Is anyone sure what “have to” means when it comes to
congressional hearing directives? I don’t know but
leaving your job doesn’t make the subpoena go away,
I’m sure.

Trey Gowdy couldn’t finish a petite filet mignon...never followed anything important through to conclusion. With his hot air, he should move to Alaska.

Gregg Jarrett: Did the FBI and the Justice Department, plot to clear Hillary Clinton, bring down Trump?

There is strong circumstantial evidence that an insidious plot unprecedented in American history was hatched within the FBI and the Obama Justice Department to help elect Hillary Clinton and defeat Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

And when this apparent effort to improperly influence the election did not succeed, the suspected conspirators appear to have employed a fraudulent investigation of President Trump in an attempt to undo the election results and remove him as president.

Such a Machiavellian scheme would move well beyond what is known as the “deep state,” a popular reference to government employees who organize in secret to impose their own political views on government policy in defiance of democratically elected leadership.

However, this apparent plot to keep Trump from becoming president and to weaken and potentially pave the way for his impeachment with a prolonged politically motivated investigation – if proven – would constitute something far more nefarious and dangerous.

Such a plot would show that partisans within the FBI and the Justice Department, driven by personal animus and a sense of political righteousness, surreptitiously conspired to subvert electoral democracy itself in our country.

As of now, we have no proof beyond a reasonable doubt of such a plot. But we have very strong circumstantial evidence.

And as the philosopher and writer Henry David Thoreau wrote in his journal in 1850: “Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.”

Newly revealed text messages about the apparent anti-Trump plot are the equivalent of a trout in the milk. It smells fishy.

"Its the only question that needs to be asked, and it needs to be answered effin’ fast!"

That question should have already been answered. It's way overdue. I'm sure they know the answer, but don't understand why they're dragging their feet in releasing the info. You and I both know they used that dossier. It just needs to be confirmed, and criminal charges generated.

Could be.

In any event, I did enjoy this:

I agree about Gowdy. However, as you can read for
yourself there are a number of dubious FReeper
brethren when it comes to the Treyster. I will give
him the benefit of the doubt partly because I don’t
know if he is not reined in by the GOP leadership.

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?

Does it really even matter who testifies on any of this? They'll all lie or take the 5th anyway. They'll all cover for each other's criminality and corruption.

Then congress will do nothing about any of it. As usual.

a little time to think it over... in the congress jail.

They should go down there and "nasty" the place up a bit...lots of dust, darkness, spider webs, a couple of rats....maybe a skeletal remain or two....and then bring in the current "contemptors" and let them stew in it for awhile.
