Trey Gowdy: FBI’s Use of Informant for Trump Campaign Was Appropriate

[HappyJoy]

Remember when Trey Gowdy was universally loathed by the left ? Now he will take over Mccain's spot as their favorite Republican.

No, Gowdy was an extremely poor Congressman, but even he recognizes (due to his impending retirement) that the informant was legal. Nobody on the left is haling this guy as some sort of hero, just pointing out the hypocrisy of those Republicans who have to face a primary election.

What, for simply telling the fucking truth? No Spygate - just Liegate.

Well, how often do we actually see a republican tell the truth?

 

[Rambunctious]

They didn't tell Trump about the spy...that makes it inappropriate.

Another eternal cult member, moron chimes in.......Here, answer this:


Did the FBI warn BOTH campaigns that Russians were trying to infiltrate ???.....................yes or No?

Did not at least FOUR of Trump's stooges kept their communications open with Russians??...............yes or No?

Did not Donny baby, Manafort and Kushner agree to meet with Russians AFTER they were warned to report any such attempts? Yes or No?

Should Comey have told voters that the Trump campaign was under investigation BEFORE the election???.........yes or No?

Did they tell trump they put a spy into his campaign? Yes or No?
Why not?

Trey Gowdy is a smart man and unquestionably a Republican in my opinion.

Trey Gowdy: FBI’s Use of Informant for Trump Campaign Was Appropriate

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said on Tuesday that the FBI’s use of an informant for the Trump campaign in 2016 was appropriate, joining top Democrats in disputing President Donald Trump’s characterization of the informant as a spy.

Ah clearly Gowdy is part of the Deep State.

That is the only explanation for his expressing a rational thought.

How could they- since there was no spy put into Trump's campaign.

The question is not whether it was illegal or not, the question is if we want this kind of thing in our elections?

So the precedent has now been set. If Trump plants spies into his opponents campaign in 2020, we can all agree that it's okay. In fact, let's do this every election.

And while we're at it, let's allow our candidates to use opposition research they paid for to obtain surveillance warrants on political opponents as well. Much like the Russia thing, just make it up as we go along.

Yes, this is what our political system needs.

It has gotten depressingly rare since Trump was elected.

Benghazi Gowdy won't even defend Trump's Spygate lies. Is he finally showing a spark of honor - or simply feeling emboldened because he's leaving Congress?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Trey let Hillary off too. He's a Starkey Republican

Trey let Hillary off too. He's a Starkey Republican

The Deep-stating has begun.

It wasn't even a year ago when you suggested he be appointed as the special counsel.

we need an independent investigator, Nunes can't do this....

No, Hillary pummeled his ass during her 11-hour Benghazi marathon when she made him look like a fool.

Oh, really? 'Spygate' isn't about legality? That's a lie.

So the precedent has now been set. If Trump plants spies into his opponents campaign in 2020, we can all agree that it's okay. In fact, let's do this every election.

There was a reason this guy was an informant, not to just dig up dirt to hurt a candidate in an election, that obviously didn't happen.

And while we're at it, let's allow our candidates to use opposition research they paid for to obtain surveillance warrants on political opponents as well. Much like the Russia thing, just make it up as we go along.

The FBI relied on more than just the Steele dossier, such as George Papadopoulos and Carter Page, both of whom are suspicious in their actions. You also need a good amount of evidence in order to obtain a FISA warrant and a single report without any amount of proof will get you nowhere.

Yes, this is what our political system needs.

Our political system needs political campaigns that are not so enthralled with lies, indictments and guilty pleas.

Damn, that's gotta' burn.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

And it wasn't fucking appropriate Trey!

Do we want the FBI trying to prevent Russian influence into our election? I think so.

That precedent has been sent.

That we don't ignore possible Russian attempts to infiltrate our election.

Of course there is absolutely no evidence that President Obama ordered this investigation but I find it telling that the Trumpsters think that this means that Trump can use the FBI as his own Stazi to attack his political opponents.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Because there was nothing to dig up. But if there was, you think he wouldn't have used it?

We're in charge now--not DumBama. So Gowdy said it's okay. I disagree with his opinion, but I respect it. So let's just apply the same standards to both sides. I'm sure you're fine with that unless you are totally partisan and believe it should only apply to one side.

The FBI relied on more than just the Steele dossier, such as George Papadopoulos and Carter Page, both of whom are suspicious in their actions. You also need a good amount of evidence in order to obtain a FISA warrant and a single report without any amount of proof will get you nowhere.

Which is why there is suspicion of what was on the application. And if what you say is true, why are Democrats fighting tooth and nail to keep that information from getting into Republican hands?

The DNC doesn't. They didn't even let the FBI look into their supposedly hacked server. They hired a private firm that they paid for, and then "told" us of their opinion.

That precedent has been sent.

That we don't ignore possible Russian attempts to infiltrate our election.

Of course there is absolutely no evidence that President Obama ordered this investigation but I find it telling that the Trumpsters think that this means that Trump can use the FBI as his own Stazi to attack his political opponents.

Why not? The Democrats did. We'll just say we were looking for Russia influence in the 2020 election.

Nothing to dig up? Yeah, except for all those indictments guilty pleas and now cooperating witnesses. Sure, other than that nothing has turned up you gullible little rube.

Care to give us the guys name that changed his vote to Trump

He's sounding more like homo Trump hater gutless Graham McCain butt buddy more and more the closer he gets to leaving.

What a pinhead.

You are the pinhead pig.
