Full title: Trey Gowdy slams 'wannabe senator' Adam Schiff for opposing declassification of Russia probe documents

Former Republican congressman Trey Gowdy slammed the media and Rep. Adam Schiff as “an overtly ambitious partisan wannabe senator from California” for protesting Attorney General Bill Barr’s move to declassify documents related to the probe of the Trump campaign.

Gowdy reacted during a Wednesday appearance on “Fox & Friends” to Schiff calling Barr’s move “un-American,” despite once calling on President Obama to declassify Russia-related documents because “Trump won't.”

“Here's the thing, Schiff is an overtly ambitious partisan wannabe senator from California. So your expectations should be exceedingly low for Adam Schiff,” Gowdy said.

"What I find amusing is the duplicity with which the D.C. media covers these events. Remember 2016 and 2017, the front page of almost every major newspaper was some leak of classified information,” he continued. “They didn't care about that. Now they're concerned that Bill Barr as he looks into the origins of this investigation may disseminate classified information.

“So Schiff, your expectations should be really low. The media, that is where you should be very disappointed in the duplicity you've seen over the last two years.”

Schiff accused Trump and Barr of being “un-American” for conspiring “to weaponize law enforcement and classified information against their political enemies.”

This came amid Barr’s probe into the origins of the Russia investigation, with Trump asking intelligence agencies to cooperate with the attorney general in the probe.

I thought Gowdy wanted to retire from politics. I expect he’ll be as productive shouting from the peanut gallery as he was as a sitting remember of Congress.

Precisely what BHO did.

How can Schiffless selectively leak what’s been made public?

Not everyone is suited for a role in politics. Gowdy was an effective prosecutor, but he may have found himself at odds with being a political figure.

There’s nothing wrong with that.

Gowdy sure is chatty these days. When you had a chance to actually do something, he didn’t. Go away and leave it to the men

Trey Gowdy. They guy who provided cover for Hillary so now people can say she withstood ‘intense’ grilling for 11 hours.

Just another tool of the system.

Deep State Trey was an effective operative for K Street lobbyists. Sadly, he does not play for Team USA.

There is an allegation lurking that “someone” doing illegal surveillance on journalist Michael Hastings used the 702- authorized NSA capabilities to murder and destroy the automibile of Michael Hastings. It is accusatory of Brennan and Obama administration.

Couldn’t have done it if the Constitution had been upheld.

Obama is not a natural born citizen.

That’s just one of the killings Brennan is responsible for.
There were quite a few to clear the way for the Kenyanesian Usurpation before the 2008 election.
