Trey Gowdy said that the FBI used information from Hillary Clinton hatchet man Sidney Blumenthal to corroborate the Steele dossier.
I have seen each factual assertion listed in that dossier, and then Ive seen the FBIs justification. And when youre citing newspaper articles as corroboration for a factual assertion that you have made, you dont need an FBI agent to go do a Google search, said Gowdy, a former South Carolina congressman and member of the House Intelligence Committee, in a Fox News interview.
And when the name Sidney Blumenthal is included as part of your corroboration, and youre the worlds leading law enforcement agency, you have a problem, Gowdy said.
In 2018, Gowdy hinted that Blumenthal was responsible for the creation of the dossier.
"When you hear who the source or one of the sources of that information is, you're going to think, 'Oh my gosh, I've heard that name somewhere before. Where could it possibly have been?'" Gowdy said in February 2018.
Blumenthal worked with the Clinton Foundation and was an informal adviser to Hillary Clinton during her stint as secretary of state. Blumenthal has been a controversial figure, helping out with a secret spy network to give Clinton information on Libya.
He was responsible for giving another dossier containing some of the same salacious content on then-candidate Trump to a State Department official. The dossier was compiled by another Clinton ally, Cody Shearer, and was eventually given to the FBI to substantiate its own investigation.
In an interview released Wednesday with the Skullduggery podcast, former FBI General Counsel James Baker said the FBI took the Trump dossier seriously but not necessarily literally.
Nothing would make me happier than to see Sid do the perp walk in ankle cuffs.
I bet she has a few who are even slimier, but they're kept in the background, out of sight. Unbelievably bad and frightful.
Her version of Luca Brasi.
Sidney Blumenthal had several threads in the Podesta emails released by WikiLeaks. Hes a snake. And everyone knows it.
Gowdy exposed the Clinton email server that lies at the root of all this. As a legislator during the Obama years, recommending prosecution would have been pointless, given that the Obama elite were in on the scheme.

Yes. Calling him a hatchet man is quite generous. When I think of Blumenthal I always imagine him as a little Donny Segretti pulling his college pranks for Dick Nixon in "All the President's Men".
Nasty little gossip who was wrong as often as he was right but Killary seemed amused by him? When you are too annoying and venomous to be useful on the Obongo/Holder scale, that should tell you something.
Hi.
Why in hell would the FBI use Sid Blumenthal as a source?
Sid Vicious would sell his mother to the Nazis to survive.

Probe the pustulance and you find the evil maggot Sidney Blumenthal, Hillary Clinton’s very own Wormtongue
“Gowdy hinted that Blumenthal was responsible for the creation of the dossier.”
That is so in line with something Blumenthal would do. He’s Hillary’s hit man (one of them). There’s not a person who pays even slight attention to politics whose radar wouldn’t go off at the mention of Blumenthal.
Or #3: Hillary has files on all of them with enough info to make them STFU.
The ones who are left may be too old to care anymore.

Sidney Blumenthal, whom Obama wouldn’t allow Hillary to employ at State. Taht’s how dirty he is.
BTW, he also started birtherism, according to a former McClatchy reporter.
Thank you for your past comments and attemtps to inform. The messenger of truth often gets shot, unfortunately.
Sid vicious wrote the “great right wing conspiracy” theory for over the Hill during the Monica thing. The memo became the blue print for the Soros paid propaganda machine.
Media Matters sends out the daily narrative and the MSM echoes it.
Diabolical.
How about Bob Barr?
Or your tax preparer.
Bill Barr? Hes the real deal. Hes old and doesnt have to suck up to anyone to further his career. He shall inflict great damage.
Yes Bill. I agree.

I’ve always thought Gowdy to be a straight shooter. He never held a position to prosecute, but he certainly held a position to expose, and expose he did!
