Congressman Trey Gowdy says Clinton investigation goes deeper than anyone knows

[Jack V Savage]

Sounds exactly like what is happening with Flynn.

How so? Wrongdoing was found with Flynn and he was fired. Now they're looking into the full scope of it. Not sure where you see any similarities at all, actually.

He cleared Clinton, which should prove that he is unbiased and let the facts go where they go.

And what did he do after 2 years of finding absolutely nothing? Went right back to insisting she is a criminal. Wonder how its gonna turn out this time.

Oh wait. We already had an investigation. Hes wrong.

The finding was basically "She did illegal shit. Oh well, we aren't charging her because idk lol"

The FBI already reviewed his communications with Russians and announced there was no evidence of a crime.

Trump was also clear that the firing of Flynn was an issue of trust, not an issue of criminal wrongdoing.

I must have missed that brief

How deep are they willing to investigate?

Cliffs:
--While he doesn't agree with Comey's decision to not recommend indicting Hillary, after receiving classified intel, he understands why Comey did it.
--Said that Comey's primary goal was to give the American public confidence in the investigation. Says he can't say more because its classified.
--Host asks if he is suggesting that the are more entanglement between Justice department and Clinton than anyone understands. Gowdy responds "you are very perceptive".

In case it wasn't obvious before, Comey knew Hillary was caught with her hand in the cookie jar, but had his hands tied because he knew the DOJ was protecting her. If he had recommended to indict her, the whole thing would have become a shitslingingfest between the DOJ and Obama vs. the FBI and Congress. So Comey made the wrong decision, but the one he felt would best preserve the confidence of the people in our system.

The real question now is what is going to happen as this investigation goes forward under a new FBI. Are they going to look into Lynch's secret meeting with Bill Clinton aboard his jet? Did Obama direct the DOJ to block for Hillary? Its clear that we need a special prosecutor to go back over everything that was done and make sure it was all legal. I think anyone left or right can agree on that.

Obama's praying that he's not part of the investigation.

Being honest, we all know the reason he was fired was actually bad publicity. But taking your gullible acceptance of the GOP party line at face value, what did he lie to Pence about? Contacts with Russia. And he refused to respond to a subpoena. He failed to disclose that he was a foreign agent. He plotted to have some kidnapped on behalf of a foreign dictator on American soil. He took a bribe from a foreign country to alter military strategy. This is stuff we know. They're still looking into what else he's done.

OP doesn't come close to what Gowdy said.

Gowdy isn't discussing the investigation itself. He's discussing Comey's public statements in July and why Comey chose to make them. That entanglements between the CLinton's and the DOJ led Comey to feel that he needed to make public statements to protect the perceived integrity of the investigation.

Gowdy specifically states that there was no pressure being put on Comey to compromise his investigation.

Dishonest people try to play off the lack of charges as no "wrongdoing" in spite of Comey saying if she still had the job that disciplinary actions would be appropriate.

That's the press conference where he announced that he is recommending not to indict. Which is what I said.

Hilarious how you deem anything criminal regarding trump to be "fake news" because he hasn't been impeached but when Hilary doesn't get indicted you don't want to call that "fake news" but claim that there's collusion between the DOJ and Obama to prevent Hilary from being prosecuted.

Because Hillary actually committed crimes.

 

[freaky]

How deep inside Hillary are we talking about?

I think Hillary is just the tip of the iceburg. They probably uncovered other things related to other people like DOJ and Obama. Oh man..this will be the biggest corrupt government shut down ever.

 

[SouthoftheAndes]

He cleared Clinton of any wrongdoing and then investigated six more times in a vain attempt to find something. Completely unethical. McCarthy also admitted that the purpose was political.

clinton should be investigated

distraction, how does that work

Seems to me that the dishonest people are the ones trying to imply wrongdoing even after Clinton was cleared. Even if the allegations were true, as it does not appear that they are, they don't relate to what one would ordinarily call wrongdoing (they're about following security protocols). People can get a ticket for not buckling their seatbelts but few would describe failing to buckle one's seatbelt as "wrongdoing" in a legal sense.

And if we're being really honest, let's note that Clinton's real crime was running for president against a Republican. There would have been no investigation or interest in what happened at all otherwise.

Case in point. Thanks.

Huh? Everything I said was 100% true. Just because something isn't politically palatable to you doesn't make it false. What is the case for there being any wrongdoing?

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Because Hillary actually committed crimes.

Funny thing then that millions of dollars and hundreds if not thousands of man hours spent on investigating her have turned up NO crimes.

That's the press conference where he announced that he is recommending not to indict. Which is what I said.

Gowdy is purely discussing why the announcement was made publicly, as opposed to no announcement at all. He's not discussing why the recommendation itself was made.
