Trey Gowdy calls secret document 'game-changer' 'People get hanged for stuff like that'

Former U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., is calling for the release of a document he says could be a “game-changer” in the scandal over Democratic claims that the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

Top Barack Obama administration officials peddled the claims, including FBI Director James Comey, who leaked memos to the media to prompt a special counsel investigation. Robert Mueller’s probe, however, concluded there was no collusion and declined to refer obstruction of justice charges.

On Sunday, Gowdy said in an interview with “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo that a transcript of a conversation between an FBI informant and former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos contains potentially exculpatory information.

Gowdy, who was chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said he was “clueless” as to why the documents have not been made public, because there is no information that could damage U.S. relationships with allies.

“It goes to a fundamental precept we have in this country. When there is exculpatory information, information that tends to show that a person did not commit a crime, that information is every bit as important” as any evidence that would suggest a crime,” he said.

“Show us the transcripts. Show us the questions you coached the informants or the cooperating witnesses to ask of the Trump campaign officials. If it’s not about the campaign, then you’re right. But if you’re veering over into the campaign or questions are not solely about Russia, then you’ve been misleading us for two years,” said Gowdy.

BizPacReview reported Bartiromo pointed out that she spoke with Papadopoulos about the matter. The former Trump campaign adviser told her the FBI informant is Stefan Halper, a professor in London.

In other news, a meteor the size of Rhode Island that we have not yet detected could be headed for a collision course for earth later this week.

I have just read on Twitt that Strzok routinely goes to FIb and Dodge for meetings and has not lost his clearance.

None of the minions of the Kenyanesian Usurper will be charged.

Because the GOP assisted in the violation of the Constitution.

Why are we concerned in the least about damaging our relationships with so-called "allies" who meddled and interfered in our elections and conspired with the Deep State to undermine Trump? They knew the risks when they got involved with this plot so let those devious countries live with the lasting consequences of being exposed for their treachery.

It’s not you. I just got tired of Gowdy, at the end of the day, being nothing but talk.

Imagine Nazi pelosi with the power to prosecute.

Then think if Gowdy had the power to prosecute as a congressman.

Hint: he could have sent 1000 referrals to Holder and Lynch. Do you really think either of them would have done anything to killary?

Our legal system bizarrely relies on the most untrustworthy class of people in existence - lawyers - being trustworthy and honest.

True on both accounts. The Deep State protects its own and the GOP saw what was going on but absolutely nothing to stop it. At the very least, the GOP were enablers who passively (and sympathetically) stood by while our democracy was being undermined.

No elected or nominated official will see a day in court, much less prison time. Thats for the little people.
