Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) was originally in support of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, but according to a revealing interview with Fox News, his perspective changed when he came across mysterious evidence.

Speaking to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures," Gowdy said the evidence in question is FBI transcripts of conversations concerning Trump campaign associate George Papadopoulos and FBI informants. "Some of us have seen transcripts of those conversations. And I was supportive of Mueller. I was supportive of the idea to initiate, to investigate what Russia did," Gowdy said. gowdy suggested last month that the fbi intentionally withheld game changer evidence from the fisa court © press

Gowdy suggested last month that the FBI intentionally withheld 'game-changer' evidence from the FISA court "But when I saw this transcript, it actually changed my perspective, because you want to think of law enforcement as being unbiased and disinterested in the outcome, as long as we just find the facts," he revealed.

"This really matters. When you have exculpatory information, and you don't share it with a court...then your bias begins to impact the investigation."

Gowdy chaired the House Intelligence Committee before leaving office in January.

He suggested last month that the FBI intentionally withheld "game-changer" evidence from the FISA court while they obtained a surveillance warrant against Trump campaign associate Carter Page.

It is believed the transcripts Gowdy referred to are exculpatory evidence.

Last month, Gowdy advised Attorney General William Barr's investigators to look at Comey and Brennan. Various Republican lawmakers believe the government withheld the transcripts from the FISA court because they would have affected the case for obtaining a warrant.

Gowdy told Bartiromo the transcripts could potentially persuade the public in President Donald Trump's favor.

"There is some information in these transcripts that I think has the potential to be a game-changer if it's ever made public," Gowdy said last month.

There is a possibility the transcripts will be made public.

Last month, Gowdy advised Attorney General William Barr's investigators, investigating the Obama administration’s handling of the Trump-Russia investigation, that the key lies in emails between Comey and Brennan.

The Ex-South Carolina Rep. pointed Barr's investigators toward former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey.

“So whoever’s investigating this, tell them to look for emails between Brennan and Comey in December 2016,” Gowdy said in an interview with Hannity.

Ah yes, Trey Gowdy. The yapping Chihuahua with zero teeth.

I got a kick out of him until I realized absolutely NOTHING came of his questioning. NOTHING.

I don't doubt that those two jackasses gave the game away somewhere along the line. Barr is smoking something if he thinks anything short of criminal indictments will start to clean up this mess.

He’s either naive or stupid. Or he’s trying to back out of the swamp.

Gowdy can’t find his nuts.

He misplaced them as a teen.

Gowdy had HilLIARy in the witness chair

Under oath.

And he let her go without asking anything of importance.

“How could you tell you daughter one thing then lie to the american people?” - that’s a stupid and in-actionable question where any response is useless.

Gowdy has too much faith in government. That was Gowdy’s mistake. Gowdy is better working out of it.

Republicans can bloviate all they want. This thing isn’t going anywhere fast. Where’s the IG report? Where’s the indictments? Where’s Q-Man Huber?

...and where’s Lindsay???

Inquiring minds want to know...

What a travesty.

He’s an incompetent good guy, then.

Can you name one productive thing he’s done?

I’ll start you off. From Wikipedia:

“From 2014 to 2016, Gowdy chaired the United States House Select Committee on Events Surrounding the 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi which was partly responsible for discovering the existence of Hillary Clinton's private email server.[1] His investigative committee spent over two and a half years and $7.8 million investigating the events surrounding the 2012 Benghazi attack, ultimately finding no evidence of specific wrong-doing by then-Secretary of State Clinton.[2][3][4] Gowdy pressed for the prosecution of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.[5] From 2017, he chaired the House Oversight Committee.”

FReepers anxiously await your erudite response!
