Gowdy must have drafted this. There are noticeable limp-wristed portions.

quote:

The memos also show former Director Comey never wrote that he felt obstructed or threatened.


Ok, that's good.

quote:

Director Comey has at least two different standards in his interactions with others.


Well, that's not good.

And Comey is now part of a general movement to ridicule POTUS and place his presidency in jeopardy. Additionally, Comey leaked these memos, knowing they are classified and did so with the intent of making the POTUS look bad and with the intent of spawning a SC.

quote:

These memos also lay bare the notion that former Director Comey is not motivated by animus.


Given the above, we now have a problem in this memo.

quote:

In his eyes, the real crime was his own firing.


So, the problem here is that Comey is just a flawed man? No legal issues to pursue? Is that the message Gowdy wants us to take from this? It would appear that's the case.

quote:

The memos show Comey was blind to biases within the FBI and had terrible judgment with respect to his deputy Andrew McCabe.


So little man Gowdy is writing off the possibility that Comey was part of a conspiracy or engaged in illegal activity. Comey is just flawed and apparently out of his depth.

Finally, former Director Comey leaked at least one of these memos for the stated purpose of spurring the appointment of Special Counsel

But I thought there was no animus, Trey.

quote:

yet he took no steps to spur the appointment of Special Counsel when he had significant concerns about the objectivity of the Department of Justice under Attorney General Loretta Lynch.


Well, if this doesn't prompt one to look at conspiracy, what does?

quote:

As we have consistently said, rather than making a criminal case for obstruction or interference with an ongoing investigation, these memos would be Defense Exhibit A should such a charge be made."


Well this seems nice but it's pretty weak. That fits in nicely with Gowdy's MO.

I don't think they were using this as their opportunity to make charges, rather they were taking a victory lap. I fully expect line-by-line charges to crop up next week once everyone has time to digest this and beat back the reporting sympathetic to Comey.

Of course this will be after The Orange One takes the lead by laying out his expectations via Twitter blasts (which has already begun).

Patience, grasshoppah.

Actually agree with you. Gowdy is like opening a fresh can of Coke and pouring a big glass full over ice, except the Coke is flat, bubble-free and you're left disappointed.

Your posts are usually pretty good in here. You are way off base with this crap though.
