I never understood the purpose of his inquiries that went absolutely no where when he had specifics outlined to roast people with.

The dossier wasn't used to appoint Robert Mueller to find out what Russia did or did not do illegally to influence our election.

Robert Mueller had a legal obligation to refer any other suspected crimes over the to correct jurisdiction.

Now, there IS a chance that the warrant was granted under suspicious circumstances, of course, but assuming that isn't true, Gowdy is 100% correct, and you are an idiot.

None of do...but my take is IF this all was started over the dossier, and it's been proven fake, everyone should be sent home immediately. There is no investigation (legally) at that point.

This, yo me, is like a bad warrant search. ANYTHING found is inadmissible. So you should stop looking as to not eliminate any future possible evidence


Once again, for the stupid among us, the dossier was NOT used to begin an investigation into Russia's meddling in our election process. And THAT is what Mueller was chartered to investigate. Trump is NOT a subject of this investigation, so therefor the dossier on him is not relevant here.

Gowdy is just laying the foundation for when he is AG or head of a SC.

When he's in charge the left can't complain if he follows the same tactics because they were already tolerated.

Or so I hope!

Correct, it was sent to the federal prosecutor over the New York region. Thanks for noting.

Gowdy was the golden boy of the Pro-Trump GOP right up until he said i am getting the frick out of here. Now when he doesn't agree with Trump 100% of the time he is part of the swamp?

Gowdy, like Sessions, is not the man many thought he was. He was skilled at using the words and ideas of the right to advance a political career for a season, but like Paul Ryan does not want the globalist progressive status quote to be disrupted. Which is why he gave the introductory speeches for John Boehner when congressional conservatives were trying to get rid of him.

Unfortunate but it is what it is.

Well the Trump appointee that authorized the warrant seems to disagree with you. And you are still blaming Obama?



It's all Obama's fault, don't you know that? Here is Cohen's problem. He paid off Stormy with his own money during the Presidential campaign. That could be construed as in kind contribution. I'm not sure why Stormy went to Mueller or why Mueller even entertained speaking with Daniels' people? Of course, maybe Mueller did not even talk to them other than to say, that he would refer them to the US Attorney in New York because this was beyond his purview ...... from a procedural point, Mueller acted properly.

What case are they building that would require interviewing a porn star or raiding a lawyer that admitted to paying her money to be quiet which is not a crime?


Porn star could speak to opportunity to blackmail trump and his response to the blackmail.

As for the raid on Cohen, they clearly believe they have evidence of a crime. I would likely guess it was beyond the FEC issues.

I think the hearing today might further illuminate what is going on in the raid. Cohen's counsel on Friday could not really articulate what was going on with Cohen. Cohen has opportunity to articulate the issues!

Gowdy was a fricking GOP hero when he was investigating Benghazi for years and years.

Now, no longer under the thumb of literally insane GOP primary voters, he actually starts to govern and y'all can't deal with his honesty.

Hilarious.

No more hilarious than when you and others on the left hated Gowdy for years, but now all the sudden he's "speaking the truth" because he said something you like.

Hypocrites are hypocrites.
