Superb article. Gowdy is like Obozo, he talks a good line, but on close examination it is all smoke and mirrors. Check his record, Mexican gun running, Benghazi, server gate, all talk and no action. Now, I bet the Deep State has offered to take care of him as he goes out the door if he will fatally damage Nunes’s effort to get to the bottom of Spygate. Just proves the Deep State is alive and well as evidenced by Gowdy’s gratuitous prevarications and the intimidation of inside FBI whistleblowers.

The deep state being CNN? The problem with Gowdy is he probably knows very little more than we know but has decided there was a legit basis for a CI investigation. With the amount of redacted material in Schiff's memo, it is plausible. But now a lot of that has unraveled and some of the few pieces left are Mifsud and his Italian parliamentarian socialist friend who campaigned for Hillary. Mifsud cultivated Papadop in March 2016 along with Papadop's future wife, who is now essentially an FBI asset. The authorship for that March 2016 activity is crucial. Was it Putin? Or was it MI6? Or Italian intelligence?
