The Illustrated Spygate Scandal
Substack ^ | August 24, 2025 | Doug Ross

July 23, 2014

The summer heat in Washington was oppressive, but inside the air-conditioned corridors of power, something colder was brewing. The House Select Committee on Benghazi had just hammered out an agreement with the State Department. Simple enough on paper: produce all of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails relevant to the Benghazi Scandal in which four Americans were murdered by Islamic terrorists. But simple agreements in Washington have a way of becoming anything but simple.

Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy leaned back in his chair, pen still warm from signing the agreement. "We'll get what we need," he told his chief counsel. "One way or another."

What none of them knew was that across town, the clock had already started ticking on what would become the most explosive political scandal in decades.

Ya did good. Thanks, I am sure that I won’t be alone in spending a lot of time reading all of this, to get much greater detail backing up what we already know - that Hillary, Obama, Comey, Clapper, and the rest of those scumbags are all traitors, guilty of a conspiracy to overthrow the government.

Because Gowdy did the bidding of Paul Ryan, RINO and member of the Fox Corporation Board of Directors?

And to think, there are idiots and mockingbird agents here on FR, to this day, still claiming “Russia” interfered in America’s 2016 and 2020 election.

I guess we’ll have to just rely upon Karma.

My Trey Gowdy hair theory:

Frail little Trey kept getting bullied at school. The second time he pulled his head out of a commode after a “swirly” he passed the restroom mirror and decided he liked the look.

But he vowed to never forget how he got it and swore vengeance on those bullies. So he became a District Attorney, then a politician.

To this day I can’t stop thinking ‘Trey Swirly’ when I see his image.

Seth Rich was killed on July 10, 2016

We shall see. Ross is dropping new installments almost daily.

I am behind the curve on that event. Did Rich have a connection to Spygate?

The author mentioned the DNC hack, Podesta's pfishing, DNC's desire to keep the FBI out of it by hiring Crowdstrike, Gucifer 2.0, and Assange warning. will he take it one step further?

Circumstantial evidence (download speeds, fake Russian tags on released documents, for example) would also support the narrative of Bernie Sanders' supporter Seth Rich releasing info to Assange regarding the Democrats' rigged primaries, which the DNC quickly turned into the "Russia hacked us" nonsense.

Part VIII - July 1-July 26, 2016: The Steele Dossier introduced, Seth Rich murdered, Madeline Albright joins the party, James Comey whitewashes Hillary, Michael Flynn gets at target painted on his back, Carter Page meets with Stefan Halper, Victoria Nuland gets the State Department involved in the plot, Donald Trump nominated, Peter Strzok to lead the investigation of the DNC leak. Oh, and George Soros.
