... Rep. Trey Gowdy, who chairs the House Oversight Committee and is a member of the House Intelligence Committee that Nunes heads, appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday to discuss the controversial memo. It claims that top law-enforcement officials acted improperly when signing off on the secret surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser ...

"There is a Russia investigation without a dossier," Gowdy said. "So to the extent the memo deals with the dossier and the FISA process, the dossier has nothing to do with the meeting at Trump Tower. The dossier has nothing to do with an email sent by Cambridge Analytica."

The congressman also commented on allegations of obstruction of justice against Trump.

"It also doesn't have anything to do with obstruction of justice. So there's going to be a Russia probe, even without a dossier," he said ...

1. Right, but watch this...Trump will still say ROSENSTEIN is the problem,

regardless of what Gowdy says, that argument will be made by the traitor.

I wish I was wrong.

3. I really think Mueller is a lot of these R's red line. They are skank and will do a little

a this or that to cover but they are not going to actively work to undermine the investigation (some of them). Gowdy is one of those...he does not want to go too far. He knows whats coming. He is not stupid.

2. Gowdy says he has been a poor politician

4. I don't trust that pinheaded bastard as far as I can throw him.

Something's up. An idiot like Gowdy doesn't give up a cushy job with lifetime benefits to work 10 times harder as a prosecutor, where everything he says doesn't come from lobbyists and ALEC white papers.

There's something sinister behind this.
