Accusations that the firing of Special Counsel Bob Mueller would provoke a “constitutional crisis” have percolated since the release of the long-anticipated “FISA memo” two days ago, as at least one House Republican has said he will push for a probe into “abuses” and possible”treason” by several senior DOJ officials.
But increasingly, some of the White House’s most steadfast political allies have played down the memo’s impact, with Chief of Staff John Kelly saying he thought House Intel Committee Chairman Devin Nunes’ claims were overblown. And now, South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy – who has presumably been freed to speak his mind after announcing his retirement from Congress – is saying he doesn’t expect the memo to impact the Mueller probe.
Gowdy, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, was asked about Trump’s claim that the memo “totally vindicates” him in the Russia probe. As Trump’s political allies so often must do, Gowdy tried to sanitize the leader of his party’s comments by saying Trump was probably just “frustrated” by House Intel Committee ranking member Adam Schiff “prejudging” the investigation.
“I’m sure the president is frustrated. You know, Adam Schiff prejudged the investigation before we interviewed the first witness,” Gowdy, a former prosecutor, said during the interview.
“So I’m sure that that instructs some of what he said. I actually don’t think it is has any impact on the Russia probe for this reason.”
Asked to clarify whether he believes the memo will have an impact on the Russia probe, Gowdy probably surprised his interviewer when he answered “not to me it doesn’t”.
As Gowdy explains, the “Trump dossier” has nothing to do with Don Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower, it doesn’t apply to a certain email sent by Cambridge Analytica to Wikileaks...

It seems a bunch of obscure blogs or sites are cited today. Often duplicate or old information. What’s going on?
Isn’t the entire Meuller counsel predicated upon the Hillary bought and paid for propaganda “dossier” ?
So far it doesn’t appear that the memo had any actual impact on anything.
Seems like it’s perfectly fit for a -
BOOM! “House Memo Declassified” thread title with a Denzel Washington gif inside.
There has been no actual consequence or practical result.
This is after Rosenstein called up Gowdy to tell him to shut up or he will have them release the file on him.
Gowdy should be ashamed of himself.
Every day he finds a way to praise Mueller. Punk a** B***
Memo won’t have any impact on ANY of the deep state; it’s obvious they’ve declared US Justice and Rule of Law to be now NOGO zones where LEO is scared to tread.
Nope, as many here predicted.
But the question is why? Because they always believed Cankles would win the election and this would never have been uncovered.
My attorney did.
Voice of hope?

Just this one question, if answered, would require charges of gross criminal negligence against both Cankles and Zero:
“Did you, Cankles, get the Presidential Daily Brief on your unsecured server?”
Then ask
“When did this start?”
If before Benghazi, Zero himself is implicated

Just putting this out there:
1) The FOIA email from Huma to Cankles said that Cankles had the Presidential Daily Brief in her email (on the unclassified server???)
2) Zero was not an early riser. It is said he did not read the PDB untl 10:00 am to noon.

3) The PDB was normally generated by 8:00 am and distributed to the classified list—including Cankles
4) That means our enemies were reading Zero’s PDB two hours before he was, maybe four
5) I will leave you with this . . . .
Benghazi.

Starting to think the only way the swamp is going is if the earth opens up and swallows Washington while Trump is in Palm Beach .
They are all same idiot .
Trump is better off picking up random people off the streets than any of these guys .
If they can get to SC Justice Roberts they can get to anyone. Gowdy has spent the last 2 days praising Mueller.
The memo does nothing.
Our Attorney General does not seem interested in pursuing the matter.
What is definition of "did" is?
I don’t mind the disclaimer at this point. They have to be able to show hard evidence (beyond the memo) that Mueller needs to go before they start promoting that. It’s coming.
Plus he has decided to go home.. getting out after threats??
