Gowdy Eviscerates McCabe: "Surprised If He's Still An Employee Of The FBI By This Time Next Week"

Once again echoing the dinner conversations of a growing number of American households around the country, Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) ripped into FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on Fox News regarding text messages released earlier this week between Agent Peter Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page that revealed an FBI plot, allegedly hatched in McCabe’s office, to prevent a Trump presidency at all costs. Among other things, Gowdy said he would be somewhat shocked if McCabe was still an employee of the FBI “by this time next week.”

“I’m still trying to figure out why 3 FBI agents are discussing politics in the Deputy Director’s office because you’re not supposed to discuss politics on Federal ground. And FBI agents aren’t supposed to engage in politics for Hatch Act reasons.”

Thanks for the time lines and reality reply.

Bumping this to the above and others on FR Mail.

Goody does ALL that he legally can.

Hey, Jarhead. Follow COUNTrecount’s link in Post 99 and I guarantee you’ll gain a new perspective on what “sleepy” Jeff Sessions has been up to. Real investigations are done in the shadows, and brought to light at the proper time. That time is approaching.

[Jarhead9297]

I’m with you there and I truly hope that is what is playing out in the shadows. I agree an AG shouldn’t announce to the world what is going on behind the scenes and know cases take a long time to build. The first clue something is going on is when subpoenas drop.

Still crossing fingers but damn the man seems so aloof.

I like the way you talk.

[Bogie]

Because most people are good at heart.

[Toespi]

What do you think Gowdy can do? I think he does a fantastic job of exposing issues in common sense terms, which brings it home to the average person. We are much further along on this FBI thing because of Gowdy as well as Jim Jordan.

[Bogie]

Therein lies the importance of the propaganda machine.

I see your timeline at 90 but differ in your conclusions.

Mueller, Rosenstein and Weissmann were all critical to passing and then hiding the Uranium One $145 million dollar mega bribery scandal at the beginning of the Obama presidency. All three assumed Hillary would succeed Obama and continue to hide their guilt. All three could face serious prison time if Uranium One is fully examined. All three might have taken a chunk of change from the same bad actors who were willing to pay the Clinton Foundation $145 million. A serious look might reveal this.

I see Rosenstein as a part of the post-election “Get Trump” team, the “Deep State Coup Trap.” The top tier (Comey, Mueller, McCabe, Rosenstein) worked together to set the trap. A key to exposing the mechanism of the trap is to learn who suggested to Trump that Rosenstein would be a good man who would be easy to get confirmed.

It was essential that Rosenstein be in place to suggest WHO should be Special Counsel, after his letter to Trump advising that he fire Comey. Rosenstein and Comey both knew what would follow Comey’s firing: the leaked notes, the phony obstruction of justice charges, the Special Counsel.

Then, out of 100s of candidates, WHO does Rosenstein pick? His old pal, mentor, and boss, and fellow guilty-part in Uranium One, Bob Mueller.

To me, this is more logical than suggesting that Trump was playing 9-dimensional chess a year in advance.

Rosenstein, Mueller and Weissman have the greatest motive to take the greatest chance to oust Trump: they can go to prison for Uranium One.

Now, Rosenstein might have flipped, trying to be seen by the OIG as a “white hat,” but he was anything but a white hat when he trapped Trump into firing Comey and getting Mueller as SC.

[Travis McGee]

Note the three who could be going to prison for Uranium One complicity.

Those three had the biggest motive to take out Trump.

One thing you seem to have overlooked is that Trump knew all about Uranium One before the election. Mueller was obviously exposed because, as FBI director at the time, he knew about the FBI's paid confidential informant at Uranium One. Some white hats obviously briefed Trump early on. Admiral Rogers, NSA director, was apparently one of them because DNI Clapper and SecDef Carter suddenly wanted Rogers fired a month before the election. Who else came out of the shadows to brief Trump we still do not know. I think we might be surprised when we do.

I suspect that one of two things is true of Robert Mueller:
1. Mueller was a good guy all along. As FBI director, Mueller knew what the Obama team was doing, but the power to do anything about it rested with his crooked DOJ bosses. Or,
2. Mueller was a bad guy and flipped. Once exposed, always exposed unless he flipped, Mueller was offered a choice by Trump to do the right thing. We tend to think that flips only work against us, but Trump is smarter and tougher than our typical leaders and does what he says he will do.

The result would be the same, regardless, with an exaggeratedly stacked counsel of Clinton lawyers hell bent on nailing Trump for a crime for which there is no evidence - while DOJ quietly investigates unsuspecting conspirators who are still doing their deeds on the government payroll, in government offices via government communications.

Time will tell.

[Travis McGee]

Mueller is NOT a white hat. He’s a weak man and a political windvane. He approved and reinforced gutting the FBI’s effective and honest counter-jihad training, firing the honest men, and literally bringing in CAIR reps to “train” FBI agents on the “peaceful religion of Islam.” FBI agents were forbidden to watch mosques, not even their parking lots to keep track of “visiting (jihad) imams.” The result was Boston, San Bernadino, Orlando, etc.

MUELLER is a BAD MAN.

[RitaOK]

An example is refreshed for us to remember.

Former congressman Chaffetz of Utah was saying just this week that his Committee referred Brian Pagliano (Hillary’s server technician) to the Justice Department for defying a congressional committee subpoena and failure to appear. That referral was the extent of committee power.

However, the Justice Department did not respond. Pagliano was not prosecuted.

[Always A Marine]

Mueller is NOT a white hat... MUELLER is a BAD MAN.

That is a definite possibility, as I laid out as Option 2 in my Post 111, above. But the result of his tenure will net the same result. With regard to criminal liability, President Trump holds all the cards.

[enumerated]

“However, the Justice Department did not respond. Pagliano was not prosecuted.”

Good example, RitaOK, and it sure reinforces the impression of a do-nothing AG and DOJ. And a bewildered POTUS.

But there is something about the way Trump operates that reminds me of the plot of Clavell’s SHOGUN.

I can’t prove it, but I really doubt Trump is the least bit bewildered. I think watching this Trump vs. Swamp war is not at all like watching football: You can’t tell who’s winning simply by looking at the scoreboard.
