Rep. Trey Gowdy grilled FBI Director James Comey on the several intelligence leaks that made headlines this year.
The leaks to the liberal media were meant to damage Trump administration officials.
Rep. Gowdy: I thought it was against the law to disseminate classified information. Is it?
Director Comey: Oh yes. It’s a serious crime.
Gowdy then reminded Comey that the Obama officials who leaked the classified information face up to ten years in prison.

>> Comey has no interest in investigating any leaks. He’ll ignore any of that or any look into the Clinton Foundation. He has his marching orders from the Deep State to take down Trump. <<
Uh, yeah. That’s why I wanted Gowdy to press him.
>> AG Sessions is beyond useless, might as well have Lynch still in the post. <<
Give him a break. He’s been in office a month. Statements like “Might as well have Lynch” are disgusting. Do you have any idea of the damage Lynch has done?
I don’t understand why Republicans agreed to this hearing?
Are they not in charge of Congress?
Oh, boy. More Talkin’ Gowdy!
Correct, no leakers will be found....and AG Sessions has been effectively neutered already otherwise why is he giving Comey permission to smear Pres Trump today??
Maybe an outsider like Trump will be unable to combat all these threats, especially with those on “our side” who are being deliberately counter-productive.
Tell me what he can do besides what he is doing?
I honestly don’t know unless he himself can bring a hearing on violations of the law and have a judge or whomever there to physically arrest Comey and others.
are there proceedings he should start? I honestly don’t know what power congress has to arrest people.
The keystone here is John McCain and Linda.
McCain will sing on all his connections with Reid, Schumer, ,FBI and CIA once you charge him with Obstruction of Justice.
Draining the Swamp should start with your own.
Really?
Do some homework..........
It's always this way with liberals.
Look at Lois Lerner, she goes before congress, smerks at them, says she's not talking and walks away with a $102,600 pension benefit that you pay for.
This is the same O same O.
Great quote! Yours or someone elses?
Exactly!
Today was to explain to all of us dummies that nothing has been done wrong and we need to shut up.
I have read a thousand stories about Issa and Gowdy pounding on someone.
I have never seen anyone sent to jail because of it.
Huff
Puff
Cry
Cave
Repeat as necessary.
My guess is, the Flynn leaker is ‘pigmentation protected’ and probably Susan Rice or Loretta Lynch. And more specifically Loretta Lynch to Bill Clinton to the NY Times via an illegal meeting aboard Lynch’s aircraft parked on the tarmac.
How? Isn’t he protecting them?
A-hole Comey CANNOT DISCUSS the investigation into Russia/Trump election conspiracy.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE, AMERICA?
I don’t understand why Comey hasn’t been replaced.

Neither has John Koskinen, the IRS Commissioner, which I find to be shockingly incredible.
Nonsense. He can be removed at the president’s pleasure irrespective of whatever investigation he is carrying on.
It’s based on Thomas Aquinas. Aquinas says shame comes from “a horror of dishonor” (ST II-II, 144,4). Shame protects us from thoughtlessly risking our integrity.
“Such tough talk from a guy who has never successfully done anything to anyone.”
Really? Never lost a case as a Federal prosecutor. It isn’t his job to do “anything” to anyone. I think you and others expect this super human federal Judge Dredd to have powers not granted to his position under the constitution. In fact some around here like to toss around accusations as if Gowdy is expected to investigate, question, indict, prosecute, sentence, transport to jail and ensure their sentence is served accordingly. I don’t know where these fantasies come from but sorry his job is to present his case. He has done that quite successfully. It is up to the house and Senate through our spineless leaders to further prosecute.
Quite simply, all this hem hawing Gowdy this and Gowdy that doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. Have an issue? Drive for a change in leadership. You are barking up the wrong tree.
Read the constitution and understand Gowdy’s true authority under it. When you do circle back and inform us what he can do that you would like to have him do that he hasn’t already.
