Trey Gowdy threatened with harm; Capitol Police kick off ‘active, open investigation’
Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, May 7, 2014 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Capitol Hill police are investigating emailed threats to Rep. Trey Gowdy, the South Carolina congressman tabbed to head a special panel to probe the White House’s response to the Benghazi terrorist attacks.

Politico reporters and journalists at other news outlets say they’ve received at least two emails that threaten harm to Mr. Gowdy due directly to his leading role on the panel. Capitol Police refused to comment on the actual threats, except to say that “an active, open investigation” has been launched, Politico reported.

Not surprising, considering the average libs indoctrination.

I’m not surprised at all. They will try to justify the mob mentality by tying racism into this somehow, someway. I hope Trey has enough money to take precautions. This is who we are dealing with now, hoodlums and lobotomized sheep.

Would not surprise anyone in their right mind — Hillary! Dirty Tricks Team. Probably have some nut posing as a Tea Partier lined up as the fall guy.

Could be, although I think Mr. Bottom, knowing that his legislative agenda is shot, is now focused on doing as much damage to America with his pen & phone as he can. The Beard checked out during the first term; she’s on permanent vacation. It’s the Hillary! 2016 machine in duck and cover mode.

Trey Gowdy is going to be made to feel like he’s with the 101st Airborne living in a frozen foxhole taking constant incoming for a solid month in the winter of 1944, Bastogne.

but these people are going to stall and obfuscate. They’ll try to drag it out past the 2016 election, and the (their) media and their liberal voting supporters will be right there with them.

It’s going to be a real fight. It’ll make Iran Contra look like a round of Jeopardy.

And Trey is looking for the truth.

They must have not found anything sordid in his past. They’ll be pissed just on that alone.

The SNL writers are on overtime as we speak.
