‘I’ll Be Damned!’: Trey Gowdy is Furious That Intel Chief Dan Coats’ House Testimony Leaked
Mediaite ^ | 22 June 2017 9:27pm | Joe DePaulo

Posted on 06/23/2017 7:46:53 AM PDT by blueplum

Several stories have emerged with reported details of the testimony given by Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats in a closed-door session before House investigators.

And Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is furious about it.

"About eight hours ago, Adam Schiff and I looked Dan Coats in the eyes and we assured him that there would be no selective leaking of his testimony to us. And I’ll be damned if eight hours later, there aren’t three different leaks with what he told us.

"So if anyone is questioning why Congressional investigations aren’t taken seriously, and are viewed as political exercises, you need to look no further than the fact that we looked one of our intelligence officials in the eyes and promised him there would be no selective leaking. And here I am being asked about it not even eight hours later."

Congressional staff have always been notorious leekers even in times of war.

Trey is barking again.....Of course no bite.

We hear this a lot. Can you give us an example of what Gowdy should do?

What is that bite that you are looking for?

You are welcome. I was where you are once, then I took the time to observe what was actually happening. That was when I realized that both sides up there were playing for the same team. Fighting us.

Hey Gowdy. Cut the crap. Your rope-a-dope playing dumb is getting real tiresome. You and I both know that Schiff is the lowlife democRAT who leaked it. Inspect ALL of his communication devices. You’ll find he has several MSM outfits on speed dial.

If Gowdy trusts a weasel like Schiff not to do something like leak info for political purposes...one has to question his ability to do HIS job.

I like Gowdy, but he, like other "showman", I put in the "put-up or shut-up" category.

The witch-hunt continues, the swamp is still full, nobody's gone to jail, the debt continues to pile up, Obamacare lives after 7 years of 'pub control...

All I hear is verbal sheeeet...where's the beef?

honestly, they should do that. A subversive is a danger to the Republic. Smoke him/her out and prosecute.

I would think so too. These people are going to make laws and regulations and rules, when they can’t even enforce them on each other?

Trey Gowdy talks in the language of the people while doing the bidding of the establishment. I knew he was compromised when he got a leadership position from John Boehner.

The media is nuts. I honestly think they have mass hysteria where they are truly crazy.

1) If he asked intel chiefs this, so what.
2) It’s not obstruction because it’s true.
3) It’s not obstruction because they aren’t the FBI (and it’s true)
4) They work for Trump. I think the media is painting a false narrative that the deep state isn’t responsible/accountable to the President. Like when Clinton said “That’s our military now” when he won the election. This is Trump’s deep state now.

Trump wanted Coats and Comey to come out publically with the TRUTH about Russian collusion. There is absolutely no evidence of collusion and there was no reason to be investigating.

Dan Coats, Comey and gang were all part of the COVER UP to undermine the Trump administration. The fake news story of Russian collusion was doing harm to our nation and they let it ride. The investigation has gone on for months and there is no collusion.

Coats, Comey, and all these clowns need to get off the taxpayer’s dime. They do a disservice to the nation. I had little trust or confidence in our intelligence community before all this. I have none now. They’re all politically motivated. They’re a disservice to the citizens of this nation.
