re: Trey Gowdy is a coward

Don't disagree with Gowdy in theory, but it seems everyone is either "OMG espionage on Trump" or is in the camp of "this is completely normal."

Informants trying to get info out of a Presidential candidate's campaign is not normal. It's not the normal use of informants. Using a guy with a long history of working with the IC to aggressively try to ensnare campaign staffers is, at minimum, something that should be questioned by everyone in a democracy. Especially when the informant gets obviously miffed when his attempts fail. Again, that doesn't seem normal.

If it turns out that some serious shite was going down to try and impact the campaign and the FBI focus was on that, fine. I hope that's the case, and maybe it is. But the fact that people are being ridiculed for wanting information about what happened is fricked up.

I know the government is always going to conceal things from us. But if you're someone who wants to try and sort through the shite to get at some nuggets of truth, this is a frustrating time to be alive. A "circle the wagons" media that won't fricking ask any questions vs. an blustering administration that is right in its objections but which has its own truth-telling problem.
