Following the FBIs release of documents confirming that former FBI Director James Comey began drafting a letter on the Hillary Clinton email investigation months before completing several interviews, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C. said Comey needs to testify before Congress again.
Gowdy, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee and a member of the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committee, told Fox News Bret Baier on Special Report Tuesday night that for a number of reasons Comey should return to Capitol Hill and the committees needed to further examine the FBI memos before he did.
Whenever somebody decides to charge someone, there are lots of layers of scrutiny. When you decide not to charge someone, there arent that many layers of scrutiny but there ought to be at least a couple, Gowdy said. The media should do it but also Congress should look at this decision not to charge and whether or not it was made before you interviewed two dozen witnesses, including the target of the investigation, yeah we need to talk to him again.

And don't give me the Pollyanna pap about why has there been no prosecutions under Trump. That's BS. Did ya forget Trump is completely surrounded by the disciples of deceit in D.C., like no other president in history. Both sides are his opponents, frauds from both parties. Did ya forget all that?
And you want Trump to fix decades of collusive deep seated corruption in 8 months. Get real.
You and I are in agreement on these points
Gowdy hearings go nowhere. It’s just investigations to make it appear things are happening. They never are.
Gowdy is Ball-Less.
Then give him the full authority and power he needs to do it.....President Trump isn't the only one being stymied by others....
Gowdy wants to rig an “out” for Comey. After his hearings, Comey will re-appear snow-white.
The Congress is as useful as an imagined fairy.
Perhaps less.
They are the EXEMPT scum who practice kabuki theater
as hundreds are shot in Vegas, as hundreds are
blown up in city after city of America by
KNOWN terrorists, as US agencies import and
arm KNOWN terrorists, and as chosen US Presidents
are thwarted, threatened and murdered by US agencies.
No, it isn’t his job.... but he talks and people wonder why doesn’t he push.. do more than just talk a good talk.
It’s come to the point where any time one of them talks, it’s pure ‘fakery’ .. lies.. and any trust we ever had in congress when they made their promises.. is GONE! I can’t stand to see Ryan speak on anything.. they have learned how to lie to the people and get votes. They have not supported Trump and all they have ever said or promised was never meant to be kept. Our government is so corrupt.. who will fix it... Sessions has been a disappointment... so many are steeped in Washington, it’s the whole bunch of them... the swamp is still alive and active in our government.
Yes he talks and that is wonderful! He got in front of the media everyday during the Obama Admin, Why? Because he is making his case before the people to apply pressure to the prior and this admin and its DOJ to bring charges. That is his job but you know as well as I do with Comey and the prior DOJ was there a snowballs chance in hell of obtaining indictments?
Youre barking up the wrong tree
Ah man, keep Show Trial Gowdy far away.
The American people want to see indictments and grand juries.
This may be our last chance to drain the swamp.

Your barking unnecessarily. I have been behind Gowdy for most of his career.. I admire his ability to phrase his questions to get the answers he’s after.
And “to whom much is given, much shall be required”... and I expect Gowdy to go the extra mile with his abilities... do what too many don’t want to.. take the initiative... He can, so he should. I am so soured on all of congress for not doing enough.. for doing nothing.. and their lack in backing Trump will sour me longer than anything else.
Lastly... Free Republic is one place I can freely comment. I donate and I don’t usually get ugly. I’m a Trump backer from day one and a conservative to the bone. Be civil .. there is no need to lecture. I’m old enough... and don’t need it.
HA! Congress itself has abdicated (happily) its authority to black-robed tyrants and EO's. "Poor widdle us, We can't do NUFFIN!" is their bleat.
Fair enough and your grievances are shared
That is an entirely different subject that you and I happen to agree on and its frustrations well founded. However with respect to Gowdy he did a remarkable job uncovering the crimes for all the world to see, frankly he did his job. It is now up to this admin under his DOJ to bring the indictments since the prior would not.
Gowdy has been and is the most vocal about there having been crimes yet there has been no movement in the DOJ then or now
