Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) slammed former FBI director James Comey on Thursday for "making up his mind" not to charge Hillary Clinton before the investigation into her handling of classified information was complete.
Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) and Judiciary subcommittee chairman Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) sent a letter to current FBI director Chris Wray in late August in order to address Comey's actions and collect additional information. The Senate Judiciary Committee had learned, through transcripts of interviews with top Comey aides, that the FBI director drafted a memo exonerating the former secretary of state before the FBI interviewed Clinton and other key witnesses as part of the investigation. The senators called Comey's actions "no way to run an investigation."
Fox News host Bill Hemmer asked Gowdy Thursday whether he agreed with White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders' Tuesday comments, where she said Comey's actions "were improper and likely could have been illegal."

You guys do know that House and Senate committees cannot bring charges or prosecute, they can only investigate. It is for the DOJ to use the info brought out to bring charges and prosecute, which they will do as soon as Sessions returns from his vacation, but before he takes his next one - if there is time between.

No, they dont know and really dont want to know. Every time Gowdy is mentioned on this site, the clueless wonders attack one of the only dedicated congressman we have. They dont care either that it was his committee that identified the previously private secret servers.
How many referrals for prosecution has Gowdy made to the DOJ? None, zip, zero, nada. A second year law student could get a conviction on Clapper for perjury.
That would be why he didnt pass the bar exam. If you put a person with Top Secret clearance under oath in a PUBLIC hearing he is allowed and expected to NOT DISCLOSE secret information. This is what circumstance Clapper was in. Never ever get any form of conviction. Bet on it.
lol... Clapper lied about items that he had already leaked and talked about. No sale.
OK forget Clapper - how many other referrals?
Even with all that peeks out from behind the curtain, the only thing that will be mustered is feigned indignation by those on the committee.
From the link you offered:
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and Rep. Bob Goodlatte, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a letter to a U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia that evidence made public by FBI Director James Comey “appears to directly contradict several aspects of her sworn testimony.”
Don’t see Gowdy’s name mentioned.
Thanks ... good to know some one else here had a civics course ...
They should accuse Comedy of illegal steroid use.
That’ll get the attention of Congress!

Are you trying to say the House doesn’t have its own swat team and Court of the Star Chamber?
How many people have Gowdy and Grassley brought to justice? Zero is the answer.
What if anything will Gowdy do about it?
What CAN he do about it?
Are you trying to say the House doesnt have its own swat team and Court of the Star Chamber?
Yes, I would say that. Read my posts as I cannot believe how many people on this site have no understanding of how the branches of government interract.
Dont see Gowdys name mentioned.
You should watch a hearing so you can see what is happening.
