House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy scorched James Comey in a blistering opening statement at a high-profile congressional hearing on Tuesday, declaring we cant survive with a justice system we dont trust.
Gowdy kicked off the hearing featuring testimony from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on his review of the Hillary Clinton email case. The top DOJ watchdog is on Capitol Hill for the second day in a row to discuss the explosive report.
But Gowdy launched into Tuesday's session -- a joint hearing held by the House oversight and judiciary panels -- with a fiery condemnation of the former FBI director and certain agents in the bureau he led.
Referring to IG findings that Comey defied his superiors in his handling of the Clinton email case, Gowdy accused the ex-director of essentially operating by his own rules.
"We see Jim Comey and Jim Comey alone deciding which DOJ policies to follow and which to ignore," he said.
Gowdy accused Comey of watering down his initial statement on the investigation's findings and making other decisions on his own. While Comey has suggested he acted unilaterally out of concern for the Justice Department's handling of the case, Gowdy questioned why he didn't seek a special counsel -- as he indirectly did regarding concerns about the Trump administration.
Instead, he appointed himself FBI director, attorney general, special counsel, lead investigator and the general arbiter of what is good and right in the world according to him, Gowdy said.

Well, I won’t ruin the surprise for you.
But I bet if you did a little homework you could figure it out.
Good luck!
Obama AND The Clinton Foundation were all on Hillary’s party line.
According to Horowitz’s report, Obama was one of only a few people who had “direct contact” with Clinton through her private email account.”
FBI analysts and Prosecutor 2 told us that Obama was one of the 13 individuals with whom Clinton had direct contact using her clintonemail.com account,” the report noted. Bongino said the emails coming into Obama’s personal cell-phone had to be vetted in advance, meaning it had to go through White House security.......a perfect incentive for Obama’s Department of Justice to disappear the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
After all, he would show up as one of the colluders.
AND THIS——Hillary routinely sent her SOS itinerary to The Clinton Foundation....so Bill could determine who to shakedown next.
FR POSTED——FBI Left Devices of Hillary’s Inner Circle Alone, Fearing Too Many Crimes Would Be Found
REFERENCE: Sen Charles Grassley has been pressing the State Department to answer questions over Huma Abedins lucrative
govt job arrangement facilitated by then-SoS Hillary.
Sen Grassley wrote: It appears that one of Abedins clients, the Clinton-connected Teneo Strategies founded by Doug Band-said to be the toll booth to pay up to get access to the Clintons. Doug Band is the one that facilitated the Clintons big buck speaking engagements as part of the access deals.
KEEP IN MIND: L/E found Bill Clinton, and his buddy Doug Band, flew to Pedi Island on numerous occasions. They were listed with over 20 phone numbers and email addresses on convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epsteins, books......”evidence pointing to money laundering.
Grassley conjectured that Huma was being compensated for gathering information for Doug Band’s outfit, Teneo, from US government sources for the purpose of informing investment decisions of her consulting clients - or in other words, political intelligence.
GRASSLEY: This raises important questions about whether Abedins dual job role was adequately disclosed to US government officials who may have provided her information without realizing that she was being paid by private investors to gather information.SNIP
AS OF LATE Huma doesnt seem to have a job. She is seen with Hillary on world tours. Who pays Humas $12,000 monthly rent?
CONCLUSION: The Clinton criminal cabal left a long, very long electronic/paper trail.
(hat tip Robert A Cook PE) So US Sec of State Hillary Clinton...
<><> holding a cabinet level position placing her in-line for the presidency...
<><>charged with making worldwide diplomatic decisions on behalf of the American people, and,
<><> to make contacts with world leaders to safeguard the safety and security of the citizenry .....
....had only 13 people in 4 years able to contact HER by email. And, when they did use email, it was illegal.
The question is not whether he can fire them. The question is whether it's expedient for him to do so. Given additional thought on this subject, I repent of my disappointment in the President for not firing certain swamp-creature department heads. Disappointment is not warranted.
With 2018 looming, if the President were to fire Sessions and/or Rosenstein, it would give liberals in government and media ammunition. Democrats, could use it to energize their base in November to retake the House and the Senate. If the Dems retake the house, mad Max and those like her would start impeachment proceedings.
I stand corrected in faulting the President for not firing Sessions and/or Rosenweasel. If he could do it without jeopardizing his Presidency or the 2018 elections, I believe he would. As it stands, the President is doing the politically wise thing, which is to let the IG and others do his fighting.
Post 2018 - is another story.
No matter how 2018 turns out, it should be clear that both Rosenslime and Sessions are the DC establishment’s Terminal Men. Win or lose in 2018, Trump will have a free hand to clean house, which he should do before 2020 rolls around.
139 more days until November 6, 2018.
And WHO is the provider of the 'optics' ?
(the media is the deep state)
Blah blah blah genius at work.
Tonight, we have a really good shoo (show).
Performing on stage is Comey doing his ventriloquist act about the FBI!
I wish Gowdy was more consistently with us... but he was absolutely amazing today...
I think one of the reasons Gowdy was saying some nice things about the FBI and DOJ, is so he has a defense against a charge of partisan ship when the hammer comes down.
He’s dirt.
Okay, I’m ready and loaded for bear to hit the voting booth and vote for Trump supporters down the line. Nobody has asked me about it. I haven’t been polled by anyone. But that doesn’t matter. We’re out here, and like in ‘16 our votes will still count.
