Gowdy Troubled by Comey Not Confirming Leaks Investigation

2017-03-22

[Breitbart] Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s "Fox & Friends," while commenting on Monday’s House Intelligence Committee hearing on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said he was troubled that FBI Director James Comey would not confirm there is an investigation into leaks of classified information.

Gowdy said, "I think the most troubling part for me was when Director Comey would not assure us that there’s a leak investigation. He was more than happy to assure us that there’s an investigation into the potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, which may or may not be a crime. Leaking classified information is a crime, but he would not confirm that investigation."

#5 Abu: Info here.
It has been done one other time since 1908. WJC dismissed William Sessions. The director can also be impeached by the House and tried by the Senate.

#4 So how do we get rid of an FBI director? Does Congress have to impeach him? Better get started on that.

#3 Comey is playing both sides against the middle. I'd peg him as playing mostly according to the Donk playbook. He comes across as a very duplicitous guy who has protected HRC, Obama, and the Washington establishment. He weasel words everything. The deep state is committed to taking down Trump. They don't want their comfy arrangement messed with by an outsider. Trump might consider someone for the job who is straight-up with less BS although it would be a fight to replace him.

#2 Comey carefully leans across the line of credibility but will not cross it. His wording appears as if he wants to be direct but he simply cannot bring himself to transgress some unknown boundary.

#1 Disinformation and so-called 'Fake News' through 'leaks' are tools of the Left and the Deep State. Disinformation was much easier however, when news media outlets were limited to only CBS, NBC, and ABC.

Comey and McCabe faithfully serve their masters and continue to carry out the night soil of the left. After the Clinton debacle, I can't believe Gowdy is much surprised, but he should be cautious.
