Gowdy Points To President Obama And 6 Admin. Officials As Possible Source Of Flynn Leaks [VIDEO]
2017-03-21
[Breitbart] Rep. Trey Gowdy, questioning James Comey during a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Monday, appeared to name former President Barack Obama and six of his administration’s top staffers as potential sources of leaks about former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s alleged collusion with the Russian government during the 2016 election.

It should be noted that Gowdy did not give evidence for any of the names he raised possibly being the source of the leaks.

The South Carolina Republican first asked the FBI director if former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper "knew the name of the U.S. citizen that appeared in The New York Times and Washington Post?... Would he have access to an unmasked name?"

Gowdy asked similar questions about former CIA Director James Brennan, former National Security Advisor Susan Rice former White House advisor Ben Rhodes, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former acting Attorney General Sally Yates.

Finally, Gowdy asked Comey if he "briefed President Obama on any calls involving Michael Flynn."

"I’m not going to go get into either that case or any conversations I had with the president," Comey answered.

#4  How does Comey have the gall to stay in the FBI after he has disgraced himself before the country and the FBI agents working for him? How can President Trump get rid of him, given how the system is set up? Comey has a 10 year term, so he will theoretically be in there until 2023. He was good buddies with the Clintons, so what do you expect?

#3  The FBI should be pursuing those who leaked the information and other classified bits to the press instead of chasing their tail with this nonsensical Russian probe...me thinks the deep state doesn't want a probe of the leaks but would rather the FBI and other propaganda sources spin their wheels on this smoke and mirrors thing with the Russian involvement

#2  Gowdy did a good job of laying out felony charges for leaking.

#1  Gowdy didn't involve himself in the Russian smokescreen, he went right to the issue of the felony crime.
