Watch Trey Gowdy and Mark Meadows Discuss FBI/CIA Effort to Entrap Papadopoulous
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 05/20/2019 1:59:26 PM PDT by EyesOfTX

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

A couple of Fox News interviews Sunday and Monday morning serve to emphasize how important it is for President Donald Trump to declassify documents thus far withheld by the Mueller Investigation and the FBI under its “sources and methods” catch-all used to hide up embarrassing evidence from the public. The evidence discussed in these clips is transcripts of tapes made of FBI/CIA efforts to entrap Trump campaign operative George Papadopoulous in 2016.

The first clip is of Trey Gowdy being interviewed Sunday morning by Maria Bartiromo.

Here are some of Gowdy’s key comments:

“If the bureau is going to send an informant in it’s going to be wired and if the bureau is monitoring telephone calls there’s a transcript of that. And some of us have been fortunate enough to know whether or not those transcripts exist. But they haven’t been made public.”

“I think one [transcript] in particular is going, it has the potential to actually persuade people. Very little on this Russia probe, I’m afraid, is going to persuade people who hate Trump or love Trump. But there is some information in these transcripts that I think has the potential to be a game changer, if it’s ever made public.”

“[Texas Congressman] John Ratcliffe is rightfully exercised over the obligations the government has to tell the whole truth to a court when you are speaking permission to spy or do surveillance on an American. And part of that includes the responsibility of providing exculpatory information or information that tends to show the person did not do something wrong.”

“If you have exculpatory information and you don’t share it with the court, that ain’t good. I’ve seen it, Johnny has seen it, I’d love for your viewers to see it.”

The second clip is from a Monday morning interview Congressman Mark Meadows conducted on Fox and Friends addressing the same topic. This one has closed captioning along with it, so you can read it while viewing with the sound off.

What these two interviews do is just emphasize what we already knew: That these documents and many more simply must be declassified if we are ever going to get to the truth of what happened during the months in which the Obama FBI/CIA cabal was spying on and attempting to entrap members of the Trump Campaign and Transition Team.

Meadows said he has talked with President Trump about declassifying the documents, and that the President is serious about doing it soon.

“I think the delay is over,” Meadows said. “I think the president is serious. I’ve spoken to him recently and I think declassification is right around the corner and hopefully the American people will be able to judge for themselves.”

We’ve heard that repeatedly for months now, without result. If the President really is going to declassify documents, he needs to stop talking about it and just get it done.

That is all.

It's getting tiresome watching people discuss FISA/FBI/CIA.

When is someone going to do something?

I'm getting tired of Trey Gowdy always talking about this crap.

That's all he does...talk.

It's all he ever did...talk.

He reminds me of my mother-in-laws little yapping chihuahua...yapping, barking, jumping around, getting all bent out of shape...but not doing a damn thing else.

All bark, no bite.

I wish he'd go away.

...the FBI under its “sources and methods” catch-all used to hide up embarrassing evidence from the public...as it turns out, some "sources and methods" should be exposed to public scrutiny - and never used again......

“It’s getting tiresome watching people discuss FISA/FBI/CIA.”

I wish they’d pay some attention to the border.

“Just wait till next year, Charlie Brown. You’ll see! Next year at this same time, I’ll find a pumpkin patch that is *real* sincere and I’ll sit in that pumpkin patch until the Great Pumpkin appears. He’ll rise out of that pumpkin patch and he’ll fly through the air with his bag of toys. The Great Pumpkin will appear and I’ll be waiting for him! I’ll be there! I’ll be sitting there in that pumpkin patch... and I’ll see the Great Pumpkin. Just wait and see, Charlie Brown. I’ll see that Great Pumpkin. I’ll SEE the Great Pumpkin! Just you wait, Charlie Brown. The Great Pumpkin will appear, and I’ll be waiting for him..”

Last sentence of the excerpt says it all...
We’ve heard that repeatedly for months now, without result. If the President really is going to declassify documents, he needs to stop talking about it and just get it done.
AMEN to that!!

Maybe we should Call and Email Rush and beg him to give the President a Direct Order to de-classify everything? I heard on the news he is the one really in charge.

Either God was on the side of George Papadopoulous

or

We are paying good money for some of the most inept ‘intelligence’ people on the face of the earth.

It appears that Papadopoulous walked through the series of traps and snares they laid for him virtually unscathed

It wouldn’t be tiresome if the FISA/FBI/CIA discussion was in a courtroom in front of a jury. Until then, YAWN!

It is a common tactic to make your enemy think they are winning easily to make them complacent. Is Gowdy a shill for the left?

To be fair, Papadopoulos had to see that someone handing him $10,000 in cash while overseas what’s rife with all kinds of problems

They did try the honey pot him too

The left has been trying to paint him as a drunken, unqualified, inept , grasping dolt of a person, But when you hear him speak, he doesn’t come off that way.

He had the sense to leave the meeting with the seductress early. He had the sense to leave the entrapping $10,000 behind him. He had the sense to marry a woman who is apparently loyal to him.

The Declas of documents and pulling on all these loose DNC threads will reveal corruption. Its not been titled the District of Corruption for nothing. The Ex. Order by DJT to the deepstate to examine the documents and Declas with regard to national security was given about a year ago. The problem then and now is timing and public reaction. And something else...

Citizens and Deplorables are tired of the Declas delays... but the issue facing us is what to do with a corrupt FBI (and FISA system too)? Will every federal prisoner charged by the FBI for the last three decades email an ACLU lawyer and tell them to thump court doors around the country to get their cases dismissed with taxpayer funded compensations?

I think Khal and Khaleesi are going for a trip to merry old Angland very soon. He does not want the scummy ally to be embarrassed, so he will wait til after.

Never talk to any officer of the court. It is sad that it has come to this point because police officers are supposed to be there to help.

In today’s world, though, it is much more likely that you will be arrested for a crime or even murdered by the cop if you should ever go to them for help. Just look at the muslim, somali cop in Minnesota that murdered a white woman kafir immediately upon seeing her.
