Incoming GOP chair of House Oversight Committee (Gowdy) dropping Russia investigation
 

You know Howdy, the guy that headed 2 years of fake Benghazi investigations? Yeah him, he's going to drop the house Russia investigation that's just a few months old. Corrupt partisan hack. Now what?

-------


Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), who is taking over the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform from the departing Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), said on Friday that he will not pursue any investigation into Russian interference into the 2016 presidential election.

Politico reports that Gowdy told reporters on Friday that he ?wants to return the Oversight panel to its original ?compulsory? jurisdiction, including overseeing more mundane issues like government procurement and the Census.?

In making his case for dropping the probe, Gowdy said that he didn?t want to interfere with the work being done by special prosecutor Robert Mueller, and he suggested that the House Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee were more natural fits to investigate the scandal.

Gowdy also ruled out looking into whether Trump White House adviser Jared Kushner?s security clearance should be revoked.

?Allegations of criminal or quasi-criminal activity is squarely within Mueller?s jurisdiction,? Gowdy said. ?So the process by which security clearances are granted, if that needs to be tightened, amended, changed, I?m all for it. The revocation of previously existing security clearances? we don?t investigate crime.?

Even though Chaffetz has often proved to be a lightning rod for criticism from Democrats, in the past he did hold multiple hearings on the Russia scandal while he chaired the House Oversight Committee.

Trey Gowdy is one of the few with a working brain. Read the actual content of the story, and not just the headlines.

You don't see the irony?

We all know nothing would ever come of anything from the House investigation. The Republicans in the house are among the worst political hacks in our nation.

They are essentially useless for anything that isn't about party politics.

It's always been a case of the FBI was where something would come from, which of course is now under the special prosecutor.

Neither the Senate nor the House are reliable at this point for a investigation of this type. Far too much politics involved.

Good for him and I concur with his reasoning as well as crockett's comments.

So after years of investigating Clinton for no reason, suddenly he wants to investigate "government procurement" and the Census?

LOL. No double standard at all here.

Of course he doesn't want to investigate

That's fine. I honestly believe that the truth always comes out in the end. One way or another we'll get to the bottom of this.

Oh he wants to investigate alright.

He wants to investigate the Whitehouse leaks.

I'm comfortable with that. That is what the Special Council is there for. Oversight should focus on other issues.

As I said they are political hacks. If you expect them to put country first you are in for a big disappointment. The guy looks like a meth addict btw so I guess he represents his constituents pretty well being he's from SC.. :1orglaugh

Not a "Neo McCarthyist" about time :thumbsup

Yea because what is obviously important is more Benghazi hearings. You seem to over look all the nonsense that came from him about Benghazi and Hilly's emails. There wasn't any issues at all having 15 Benghazi investigations and going on witch hunts with no evidence against Clinton... but a Russian investigation that might get Republicans in trouble, oh no we can't do that.. Lets end the 1 House Russian investigation and investigate something important like Hillary Clinton again for the 20th time... maybe just maybe they can find out she got a blow job obviously Hillary Clinton has a bigger dick than these Republicans.. That's what they are mad about..

Yeah he's totally legit and not a political hack Ferus..

Say bogeyman 1 million times and 97% of the human population runs under the bed.

Yeah Gowdy is always greasy, sweaty & agitated. The GOP probably holds his meth addiction over his head so he does their evil bidding. JoshuaG could give us more insight I'm sure :1orglaugh

He's a hyper-partisan scumbag concksucker. This has been known for years. Just look at the man's haircut.

I'd love to smash him in the face with a canoe.
