He’s an exceptional Congressman as well.

“Rep. Gowdy’s work with the House Select Committee on Benghazi is what started the downfall of Hillary Clinton and set the stage for the election of President Trump. Gowdy got tagged with the Chair of the committee. It was his investigatory work that turned up and made public the fact that Clinton was using a private server to store her official and classified e-mails instead of the legally mandated State Department server.

Because of this discovery operatives in the FBI, CIA and NSA among others had to CY Hillary’s A. Trump was able to rightfully campaign on the issue of two-tiered justice where submariner’s go to jail and liberal elites get rich. The cover up was almost as bad as the crime. Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page all have been ensnared with the cover-up and has undermined the Mueller investigation.

Speaking of, because of Hillary’s weakness the Obama cabal had to concoct the Steele dossier which if IG Horowitz is the investigator that I think he is will provide Gowdy and Jeff Sessions, that’s right Sessions, with plenty of ammo to take a big bite out of the swamp. Gowdy’s work on Benghazi was the opening salvo in making all of this happen. He did his investigation the right way. He had dimotards like Elijah Cummings, the MSM, deep state operatives like Comey and Lynch working against him.

If he had been the director of the FBI I have no doubt that Hillary would be in jail but as a House committee chair he didn’t have that constitutional mandate. I am beginning to believe that Gowdy is scaring the bejesus out of folks and that he is why he is being attacked so aggressively. You Gowdy haters need to step back and take a deep breath. He has and folks like Jason Chavetz and others created the conditions to take down the deep state. Cut the man some slack.”

It would be really great if your post could become the new Free Republic dogma to replace the sanctimonious anti Gowdy belief that prevails

” Rod Rosenstein threatened the House Intelligence Committee members three weeks ago.

F$%# Rosenstein!!!!
Nunes and the other House members are elected representatives of WE THE PEOPLE.

That memo is OUR memo, we paid for it.

Rosenstein and the rest work for US.

I am so tired of these asshats pretending that we answer them.

The left-media sources I’ve listened to today (NPR, BBC, CNN, ABC) glossed over the facts and painted the memo as no big deal, and a partisan cheap-shot to discredit the noble lawman, Robert Mueller if not the entire FBI.

Now, the DOJ IG Report is due for release anytime. The IG is an Obama appointee. If the leaks are true, there is much more damning info.

As opposed to Nunes’ memo, the filth and crimes that emerge from the IG Report will stand up to charges of partisanship.

But, like you, I am disappointed with the pace of nailing these traitors. My hope is that the criminals at the top of the FBI/DOJ made good use of the rope given to them, and Sessions will let-lose with indictments once the IG’s hard evidence of their crimes is set in front of him.

It’s because you’ve got a couple curmudgeons runnin from thread to thread frustrated at the fact that there has been no prosecutions. So they feel compelled to blame the guy who isn’t constitutionally responsible for indictments and prosecutions. Furthermore they expected him to get indictments under an all democratic DOJ, FBI and Presidency. These folks are senile

Jeff Sessions, where are you?

He was at an event standing side by side witth Rosenstein, where Sessions made several strong statements in support of him, as a show of solidarity and defiance against the memo release...

If this is true, why hasn’t Rosenstein been fired already?!?

Good question. The most logical answer seems to be he's cautious about it being seen as obstruction of justice with the Mueller investigation, and that Rosenstein could become a hostile witness against him.

Then there's the crackpot theories that claim Mueller and Rosenstein arr secretly working for Trump and this is just ans act they're putting on.

My guess is that Trump is going to let him just twist in the wind while more and more info is being lined up for release. Once we get close to the end of that material, Rosenstein and others will be gone.

Gowdy said he 100% supports Mueller, so it seems Gowdy would be more of the same.

Gowdy was historically deep in the DOJ and probably wants to get back in there at the top where huge payoffs are the norm. Mueller, Comey, Wray, all are paid millions of dollars per year to sit on boards of companies for doing basically nothing (but secretly pulling strings for their masters). Supposedly Gowdy already pocketed $4 million of his own during his time in Congress, but some those DOJ guys can make that in a single year.

he can’t just arbitrarily subpoena from members of Congress.

Mueller can. And Rosenstein is his puppet.

Yes, it may be that the good guys who are compromised are retiring rather than continue doing what the deep state tells them.

That’s pretty much a confirmation right there. If it didn’t happen, he’d say no.

-> Rod Rosenstein’s wife is Lisa Barsmooian

https://stonecoldtruth.com/muller-rosenstein-and-comey-the-three-amigos-from-the-deep-state/

Enter Lisa Barsoomian, wife of Rod Rosenstein. Lisa is a high-powered attorney in Washington, DC, who specializes in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the Deep State, err, I mean, the Intelligence Communities.

Lisa Barsoomian works for R. Craig Lawrence, an attorney who has represented Robert Mueller three times, James Comey five times, Barack Obama forty-five times, Kathleen Sebellius fifty-six times, Bill Clinton forty times, and Hillary Clinton seventeen times between 1991 and 2017.

Barsoomian participated in some of this work personally and has herself represented the FBI at least five separate times. It would be great to research the specifics of the cases she worked in, many of the documents from the Court Docket relating to these cases have been removed from the D.C. District and Appeals Court, including her representation for Clinton in 1998’s case Hamburg. V. Clinton.

Her loyalties are clearly with the entities that make up the Deep State, as are her husbands.

That’s a good point. He was very quick to answer other questions with a negative response.

Was there in 2012, but only did Woodford. It was worth an 800+ mile drive.

Seems likely it did in fact happen.

Rosey as Deputy AG is like putting a pyromaniac in charge of the fire department. He is as corrupt and arrogant as can be, and that makes him a danger to everyone.

Sleepy Sessions!

About the only way that cartoon could have been improved, is if Mueller were depicted as a skunk instead of a black cat.

Now, Jarrett has gone on record with a “sources said” report, it’s more likely to be true.

Why is ValJar opening her yap on this?
