Seems like a set up.
No way the H-bomb takes a chance that he is sitting on a contradictory piece of evidence,
Then all she can do is evade and "forget", in which case Gowdy's offer just makes her look more guilty.
B.S.
Gowdy could have all 30,000 deleted emails detailing the most horrendous unimaginable crimes by Hillary and she would still walk away.
Gowdy is sold out and he is letting her walk. No special lawyer tricks.
He will get her to say “i am a true patriot and did my very best and anyone can take a few words out of context if they want” he will say good enough for me, we need to cross the aisle and reconcile.
End of story.
The folks here calling “grand strategery play” are liars and are trying to muddle this crap.
As any litigator knows, if you have evidence you dont let her explain.
If you don’t have evidence, you dont let her explain. You NEVER invite her to come say she’s innocent. Never!
If you have damning evidence you present it. You don’t invite her to squirm out with grand statements about her innocence and goodwill. You cannot predict or control what she does ffs.
Either he’s a complete sellout, or the stupidest trial strategist i know of.
A sane person wouldn’t, but she’s a Clinton. He may be counting on her arrogance and sense of superiority to coax her into something stupid.
