Trey Gowdy Stops Just Short Of Calling Collusion On The Clintons And The DOJ [VIDEO]
2017-05-17
[Daily Caller] Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy said on Fox News Tuesday night that the Clintons’ "entanglements" with the Department of Justice run much deeper than the average viewer may know.

On Fox News’ "The Story," Gowdy cryptically told host Martha McCallum that he believes "history will be much kinder to Jim Comey in that July press conference than the Democrats were."

"I think he had access to information that, because he is a stand-up guy he’s not gonna disseminate classified information (though God knows everybody else is)...so all your viewers see is this meeting on the tarmac," he explained.

"Jim Comey had access to additional information that I am convinced left him with no other choice but to make the decision he made in July," Gowdy said.

#7  I wonder what it would take for Gowdy "not to stop just short"? It seems like part of the problem with the Clintons is that far too many people have "stopped just short" and as the result, the Clintons have continued to skate for decades. Perhaps it is out of a fear of the Clintons as there is an unusually high number of unusual deaths around the Clintons.

#5  Thanks Matt. It's just another potential scenario. We may never know what actually happened.

#4  But...but...but...Trump asked Comey to stop investigating Flynn! And then he gave secrets to the Russians!

#1  The Sky Harbor meet was a Bill Clinton future Hildebeest administration job offer, more commonly known as a bribe.

Lynch knows it's a bribe, obstruction of justice or collusion (or has the appearance of a bribe, obstruction of justice or collusion), but is caught btwn a rock and a hard place. Courses of action available:

a. Make an official report of the event to the congress and recommend a special prosecutor? Trash the former president and the Hillary Clinton election over a (he said-she said) at Sky Harbor Airport ?

b. Don't report the event and go easy on the Clinton's as requested, only later to be seen as facilitating the Sky Harbor Bill Clinton obstruction, bribe or reward ?

c. Recuse herself, hand the Clinton issue to her deputy? But for what reason, and to what potential future outcome ?

Lynch goes to Comey for advice, probably Soetoro as well. Hey guys, WTF do I do? Comey recognizes her dilemma which is somewhat like his own. Comey is already reluctant to recommend charges on the mounting evidence against Clinton, and destroy her run for office. Soetoro tells Comey "I've got your back on this one, I think you know what to do."

On 5 July 2016 Comey then takes out the trash of two presidents, an AG, and the democratic party, lifts the decision burden from Lynch.

Bill Clinton smiles. Nothing can be proven. Mission accomplished. Soetoro hits the links. Lynch's lackluster career is programmed to slip into obscurity. On 10 July 2016 Democratic campaign worker Seth Rich is found murdered.

And on it goes.
