“This could be a DOJ ploy to stall, and possibly to misinform Nunes also.”
True, but at least we’ll find out one way or another.
I always said that if the DOJ was genuinely concerned about leaks from the likes of Adam Schiff, then why don’t they just offer to brief the good guys - Nunes and Gowdy, and exclude Schiff?
Sure, Schiff and other impeach Trump types on the committee will cry bloody murder, but who cares? At least then we’ll know the DOJ was cooperating as best they could, and had been withholding for the right reasons (fear of leaks).
And now it appears that’s just what’s happening.
To me this is a good development - if Nunes and Gowdy find this compromise acceptable, that would indicate that the DOJ foot-dragging and redacting was in fact being done for the right reasons, and the fear of leaks was not just an excuse to cover up for the deep state.
On the other hand, if Nunes and Gowdy just get more redactions and foot dragging, then we’ll know once and for all there is a cover up.
I know there are people here who think Gowdy is deep state - I don’t think so - he is a showboating blow hard, but he’s not a traitor for the deep state.
