Goodlatte, Gowdy, Nunes Statement on New Text Messages from Top FBI Officials
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence ^ | 1/22/2018 | Reps. Goodlatte, Gowdy and Nunes

Posted on 01/23/2018 10:20:15 AM PST by mojito

Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Ca.) released the following statement concerning the 384 pages of new text messages between top FBI officials:

“This weekend we met to discuss the text messages and possible next steps in our oversight of these agencies. The contents of these text messages between top FBI officials are extremely troubling in terms of when certain key decisions were made by the Department of Justice and the FBI, by whom these decisions were made, and the evident bias exhibited by those in charge of the investigation. The omission of text messages between December 2016 and May 2017, a critical gap encompassing the FBI’s Russia investigation, is equally concerning. Rather than clearing up prior FBI and DOJ actions, these recently produced documents cause us to further question the credibility and objectivity of certain officials at the FBI.”

The Office of Inspector General referred the Strzok/Page messages to Mueller's office for consideration of political influence, and it's certainly a matter which arose during the investigation.

So, when is Mueller going to frog march his FBI friends in front of the Grand Jury to investigate this gross violation of the Hatch Act?

They released a statement? BFD. Wake me when they actually do something other than drool, run off at the mouth and or jump in front of a camera. Perhaps they can join Sessions in a nap.

Freeper cabal strategy:

1. Discover scandal.
2. Immediately scream what you know.
3. Have Sessions make indictments the second you know something.
4 Lose

Trump cabal strategy.
1. Discover strategy.
2. Pretend you don’t know anything.
3. Remove Sessions from the scene as you prepare your forces.
4. Once all the pieces are in place. start removing enemies by stealth.
5. Allow dripping of things you’ve known for a year, bit by bit
6. Ignore the screams from Freepers at each drip
7. Lead the democrats into traps. Prove they are liars. Get the dems to vote against revelation.
8. Reveal bombhsell.
9. Reinstate Sessions.
10. Attack
11. Win!

General Kimsey: “I wouldn't trust this useless Congress
who did nothing to Lerner, nothing about Benghazi,
with a potato gun.”

Never, because Mueller would need to frog march himself. The latest from Strzok is that he knew the Mueller investigation was bogus from the beginning.

FWIW:

YouTube....Trey Gowdy: “It’s not my job to make criminal referrals, it is my job to provide criminal oversight.”

It’s deliberately cryptic, but notice the little bombshells: “...possible next steps...”; and “...further question the credibility and objectivity of certain officials at the FBI.”

Thanks, exactly what I noticed first as well. Sounds like the oversight committee is getting so frustrated with the DOJ/FBI they may legislate major changes to their structure/mission, in addition to leading the current expose against some specific dirty cops.

And no, I dont believe those who claim that Sessions is taking care of all this, and Congress doing this is just getting in his way.

——3. Remove Sessions from the scene as you prepare your forces.-—

This is the very complex item on your list.

The preparation at the DOJ included selecting many many criminals down to the assistant to the assistant level and then outlining the hundreds of charges and assigning the applicable charges to each of the criminals.

Trey Gowdy: It's not my job...

Trump has very few true allies in this. Gowdy said to the WP last week Nunes would quote "break his heart" if this info about the FBI is released. Meanwhile Nunes told the same reporters "No way I'm talking to you."

Trey Gowdy’s eyes have been opened... He’s always been a good man - but now he’s seen the face of evil... it’ll make him stronger.

I know only Mueller's side has indictment's, and Sessions has none. He also has to be sued by Judicial Watch to release anything concerning Hillary and the deep state...Now what do YOU know?
