Gowdy & Goodlatte Call for Special Counsel on FISA (truncated)
Fox News Insider ^ | Mar 6, 2018 | As seen on Special Report with Bret Baier

Posted on 03/06/2018 6:19:05 PM PST by FreeReign

wo top House Republicans repeated their call for a special counsel to look into alleged abuse of the FISA process, in the way a warrant was granted to spy on a former Trump adviser based on an unverified dossier with Russian sourcing.

Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, who chairs the oversight committee, and Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, who chairs the judiciary committee, said Attorney General Jeff Sessions must appoint a special counsel.

The two men said they have faith in Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz to do a thorough job in the matter, but note that he doesn't have jurisdiction over two dozen important witnesses.

Gowdy said the IG can compel testimony mostly from people who currently work in the department.

You got the list for sure! Add the judges on the FISA Court. They are like the Star Chamber.

There needs to be a special investigator for the Clinton foundation dealings, State dept. pay for play, Uranium one deal, DNC hack, Clinton private server/classified documents/Wiener laptop/Huma removing sensitive info, obstruction of justice/bleachbit server, DNC fixing Clinton/Sanders primaries with the help of CNN, DNC hack, destruction of laptops/blackberries, as well as Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Stroke/Page....and on and on and on.

This whole Muller thing is poppycock to distract from what was really going on in the Obozo administration

Gowdy’s most compelling statement was that there are at least 24 witnesses that can not be called by the IG because they are outside his scope of purview.

The name that stood out in 36 bold font was sid vicious. Sidney Blumenthal is a senior member of the clinton shadow government.

Won’t happen.

Federal government is so thoroughly corrupted there would be no end to finding/charging all the guilty because there are too many of them. Besides, how many of the guilty would it take to go along? Professional Republicans are as corrupted as the rest, and are not about to let anything happen that could get in their way. For them, as with the rest of Washington, Trump is a distraction that has to be taken out (in any way possible) in order to end the risk to their goals. The cesspool that is Washington D.C. has taken on a life of its own much too large for law and order to be restored. Keep your loved ones close.

From CTH comments section: G. Combs says: --- March 6, 2018 at 10:15 pm “….Wondering why the AG didn’t figure this out for himself before appointing Horowitz?….” -------- ERRrrr, Sessions did not appoint Horowitz.

Sessions, last week told the IG to begin a FISA review. That's probably what the commenter was referring to when they said that Sessions appointed Horowitz. The point is important. The IG is not able to do a full investigation on the FISA abuses! So that's another failure on Sessions part.

Check out Michael Horowitz’s statement before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs concerning “Improving the Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Independence of Inspectors General” Long story short. IG Horowitz is one P.O.d dude… Talk about COLD ANGER! It has been smolderring for years.

Obama signed off on Horowitz's bill. Obama and Horowitz were apparently on the same page.

I simply stated a fact. Obama signed off on the Horowitz bill.

And you responded with a personal attack.

Back at you, dumbass.

Thanks. We haven’t heard from the FISA court judges. To me that means they were complicit. Will add to the list with a ?.

You are right re the FISA Court Judges. My gut tells me they got a ‘wink wink’ and let the request pass. They’re complicit too until we have proof otherwise. As far as I know, we haven’t heard from them. Have added Huma Abedin and the FISA Court Judges to the list.

By EVERY account, Zero hated Horowitz and did everything he could to stifle him.

As I pointed out, Obama eventually signed into law what Horowitz asked for, The Inspector General Empowerment Act of 2016, Public Law No: 114-317.
