GOWDY: No. And I think when history knows the full fact pattern that led Director Comey to have that July news conference. I think what your viewers know is the meeting on the tarmac, between the spouse of the suspect, or the target of an investigation of the Attorney General. What your viewers don't know, Martha, and what Jim Comey frankly can't tell them because it's classified, and I can tell them because it's classified, there were a lot of other reasons that Jim Comey decided to take that decision upon himself.In this exchange, Gowdy is at odds with Rosenstein's memo asserting that Comey appropriating the decision was a gross breach, and the fact that Comey expressed willingness to do so again is unacceptable.And I think history, and I've had plenty of differences with Jim Comey, I want to be clear about that, lots of them. But I think history is going to be much kinder to Jim Comey in that July press conference than the Democrats were when he had it. I think he had access to information that because he is a stand-up guy, and he's not going to disseminate classified information, although, God knows everybody else's, he is not going to do it even if it cast him in a negative light. So, all your viewers see is this meeting on the tarmac. Jim Comey had access to additional information that I am convinced left him with no other choice than to make a decision he made in July.
MACCALLUM: So, you're saying that he had no choice; there was pressure on him to not prosecute Hillary Clinton? Is that what you're suggesting?
GOWDY: No, no. No. I think he had access to information that he wanted to safeguard the integrity of the investigation and the integrity of the process. And I probably ought to just leave it right there. But I'm not talking about pressure. I don't think the guy feels pressure. I think he wanted the public to have confidence in the investigation and the outcome, even though I disagreed with the outcome, he wanted you to have confidence in the process.
He had access to information that your viewers don't have, and they might not ever have because it is classified. But trust me when I tell you this, Martha, I know what it was. And I have been a critic of Jim Comey in the past, but he made the only decision he could have made with respect to appropriating that decision away from the Department of Justice and making the decision himself and history will be a hell of a lot kinder to him than the Democrats were at the time.
MACCALLUM: I only take away from that that you're suggesting that they were more entanglements between the Clintons and perhaps the Justice Department than everyone understands.
GOWDY: You are very perceptive.
Interesting that Gowdy now predicts history will be harsh on Comey. LOL. "Trust the DOJ, they are honorable people." Yeah, right.
Gowdy calls Comey a stand-up guy; he talks about Comey wanting the public to have faith in the "process". How did that work out for him?
Gowdy talks about Comey not wanting to divulge classified info, wth, Comey gave classified intel to his buddy to give to the press.
Sorry if I sound a little agitated, Gowdy is just another in a long list of people with whom I have grown disillusioned.
Thanks, I watched it last night and was very unimpressed. There was/is something about Gowdy that pegs my bs meter.
Sure he is a smart guy but he has NEVER done anything but talk about doing things.
The whole “trust the DOJ” rap is laughable and tragic.
Are "rat's nest" & "bucket of worms" weak terms to describe the evil realities?
