Gowdy: Trump missed ‘good opportunity’ to confront Putin
NY Post ^ | July 22, 2018 | Mark Moore

A top Republican on Sunday criticized President Trump for missing a “good opportunity” to confront Moscow about election meddling during his controversial news conference with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

“The president missed, I think, a really good opportunity to distinguish the United States from any other country, but especially from Russia,” Rep. Trey Gowdy, the chair of the House Oversight Committee, said on “Fox News Sunday.”

The South Carolina lawmaker urged Trump to listen to his advisers and the intelligence community when they tell him the Kremlin interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

If he doesn’t listen, they should step down, he said.

Russian “election meddling” is so trivial that it could only serve to waste time in a real summit which is what the private meeting was, not the multi meeting that followed it. Besides how the hell does Gowdy know what was discussed? I haven’t seen a transcript yet nor has he. Every government meddles in the politics of other countries. USA is one of the most active nations in that field.

“Gowdy: Trump missed ‘good opportunity’ to confront Putin.”

How many opportunities did cockhead miss in actually “confronting” and having criminals prosecuted instead of just putting on a show?

The Russian crap is the swamp’s boogieman not Trump’s. Why should he carry their water. If they were that concerned Hillary and cabal would be in jail.

“What Russian meddling Gowdy? “

Yes, can we give details as to just exactly what form the “meddling” took? Was it watching election returns? Crooked democrat politicians do more actual meddling that affects vote tallies each cycle than the Russians could even dream of.

It’s clear why Gowdy never nailed anyone when he ran his committee. He is 100% Deep State masquerading as a conservative.

In negotiating, when seeking common ground, when peace and ending worldwide violence is a goal, how important is confrontation? It seem acknowledgement there was electoral interference happened and a statement that there will be serious consequences if it happens again should be strongly stated before negotiations begin, and then let it go. No response needed. Say it in manner Putin knows. Then get on with business.

“Really? Show us the proof then idiot.”

Exactly! I am so sick of hearing how they ‘tried to interfere in the 2016 election’ but NEVER do they say what they did. Has anyone else heard what they supposedly did? However, I’ve sure seen how Obama and his dimocrat cabal tried to interfere which includes the DOJ. Sounds like a whole lot of TREASONOUS activities were going on and I want to see some people frog marched to GITMO.

Trey Gowdy has never done anything.

A man, a camera, no accomplishments.

I see rooster-haired Gowdy is back to being himself.

Obviously, TG wanted to toss one to the liberals.

Is he heading back for more screen time afterwards and needs a few more Hollywood pals?

Hey Trey Gowdy, tell me, did Trump say "would" or "wouldn't"?

Answer carefully because so much hinges on which Trump on that contraction made in a public hearing where two heads of state were there to sort out their differences and aim for a brighter future for the world.

Oh, I know, you and Marco Rubio are the smart people in the room. The uni-Party and War Party is over! No more sending boys to needless wars because you and your corrupt cronies want to get a defense contractor kickback!

You, Mr. Gowdy are owned lock stock and barrel. You are a puppet.

Apparently, Trey Gowdy practiced his acting skills on ‘Forensic Files’ quite a bit.

It’s a good thing there are two sides to every story, because Gowdy always likes to take both.

Bingo about Rubio. Two losers.
