Gowdy: Memo has no impact on Russia probe

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said during an interview airing Sunday that the previously classified memo alleging abuse of government surveillance powers by the Justice Department has no impact on the ongoing Russia probe.

During an interview on CBS's "Face The Nation," Gowdy — the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee — was asked about the recent comments of President Trump, who claimed the memo "totally vindicates" him in the Russia probe.

"I'm sure the president is frustrated. You know, [Rep.] Adam Schiff [D-Calif.] prejudged the investigation before we interviewed the first witness," Gowdy, a former prosecutor, said during the interview.

"So I'm sure that that instructs some of what he said. I actually don't think it has any impact on the Russia probe for this reason."
CBS's Margaret Brennan pressed Gowdy on whether he believes the memo has "no impact on the Russia probe."

Amazing how honest they get when they're not running for re-election.

1. But I think the REASON he is not running for reelection

Is that he can't stomach it anymore. Even partisan attack dogs have their limits. It's taken Trump to make him reach his limits.

3. I admire your faith in humanity.

But I remain cynical.

2. In another comment, Gowdy admitted that he was a bad politician

He feels that he was a better prosecutor than politician.

I can believe that. He was a terrible politician and his ridiculous persecution of Hillary Clinton regarding Benghazi was nearly criminal.

However, as a prosecutor, he seems to have some ethics. This is why I think he is saying that the Nunes Memo is an empty document and why he supports the Mueller Investigation. As a member of the legal community, he supports its goals.

The cognitive dissonance in his skull must be deafening!

4. Basically a false flag.

A lame excuse custom made for--and possibly by--the radical Fox propagandists who will weaponize it as a pretext to get rid of Rosenstein and install a toady who will protect Drumpf.
