The attempted entrapment of George Papadopoulos by the FBI and possibly the CIA, apparently as an excuse to trigger surveillance of the Trump presidential campaign, may turn into the "smoking gun" that exposes the depth of corruption of the Deep State Russia Hoax. Trey Gowdy, the retired congressman from South Carolina, was, until 2018, chairman of the House Oversight and Investigations Committee, who was able to view classified information uncovered by the GOP congressional investigations when the party enjoyed a majority in the House of Representatives. He is constrained as to what he can reveal about those documents, but yesterday,

Gowdy was a waste. He screwed up the Benghazi hearings. I have no faith in him. He is all talk, no action!

I agree. Talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. He says a lot but there's no concrete action. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Gowdy, while restricted from prosecution in earlier cases, has the correct temperament and doggedness of a first rate prosecutor. Like Barr, he is fearless, clear and logical to a fault. He left Congress to pursue other goals. One hopes that this is one of them.

#1 beat me to it, but I still hope #3 is correct.

Still waiting here for a game changer. To date we've seen referee changes, rule changes, and player changes. As the old saying goes, "The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same."

Groan. Now Hannity will spend three hours today promoting this teaser. I think I'll walk the dog instead. The Deep State did not have an insurance policy in case their primary insurance policy failed, which it did, So the feathers are coming out of the pillow bunch by bunch. It's all a matter of time and further digging by AG Barr but time is on our side. I hope they can time the arrests with the 2020 election. Seeing the Hildebeest walking into prison looking like a big orange pumpkin has been a ten year dream of mine.

Let's hope that this is real, and that it will be declassified soon.
The FBI, CIA and DoJ criminal class have used classification of the evidence of their criminal acts as a shield to protect themselves. That needs to end, and I don't care at all what harm may come to "sources and methods" in the process. Enough of that BS story, we need to have the facts to put about 2 to 3 dozen or more FBI, CIA and DoJ folks in jail for a long time.
At a party with a group of conservatives the other night, there was discussion about this whole issue.
One person pointed out that Trump may be managing this to ensure that it peaks closer to the elections in order that the Enemedia cannot work to push any of this into "that happened a long time ago, why are you talking about that old news?" kind of a 'non-reporting' zone. Not sure, but Trump is smart, maybe that Is the plan, now that we are this far along already.
Make the indictments and such happen closer to the election, let the electorate see what total slimeballs the Dems and their thugs in the bureaucracy actually are.

I never could understand Gowdy. He talked a good game, but when it came time to hang somebody out to dry, he always seem satisfied to just let them skate. Perhaps he was being constrained by RINO Deep State globalist traitors like Boehner and Ryan in more powerful positions, and maybe that is why he bailed out, too frustrating because of being constantly undermined by the Deep State folks who are really in charge of Congress, and who are making a max effort to protect Dems, prevent any real conservative successes.

We are in the stages of tying the ribbon on the package wrapping up the case against the democrat party. When it’s done we will have irrefutable proof that the intelligence assets of the federal government were turned into police state goon squads loosed against political opposition. We can set that package next to the one that contains proof that the IRS was used as a political wing of the democrat party but we might need to nudge the Fast and Furious package a bit to make room, which of course contains the proof that the ATF was another part of the political police state apparatus.
So now what? The only thing that this proves is that people in power will act to keep it and grow it when there is nothing to stop them. This isn’t news, this is what inspired our founders. So what’s missing? The leftists own the media, not only are they not called out for their abuses, any attempt by others to do so it met with swift retribution at the hands of the media. That has eliminated most of the republican power balance.
It’s Lord of the Flies’ politics because there are no parents watching. The media and the democrat party are one in the same. And this goes well beyond our shores. Our actions must be directed at the media. We'll never stop the democrats unless we dismantle their stranglehold on the media.

Yup. Not waiting to be convinced. Already am. Waiting for indictments.
The head FISA judge called out serious irregularities with FISA use starting as early as 2012. She handed it off to Barr to investigate. This was long before George Papadopoulos, Trump, and anyone else in Trump's campaign. It lead to Trump as he became a primary candidate and the Republican candidate. The Deep State and BO's people are trying to put up a firewall to prevent this investigation going back to its TRUE and CLEARLY ILLEGAL beginnings. People like Baker try to pass this off as "mistakes" but it was far too pervasive to be classified as a "whoops". Lots of American Republican politicians were spied on, ILLEGALLY. The counter intelligence, justice, state, and other people, with the support and probably direction of the WH, had its own "Little Shop of Horrors".
It's time for heads to roll.

As typical of Gowdy, he does NOT explain if he saw the transcript of the comments from the FBI spy or spies used to entrap Papadopoulus or the instructions from FBI Hqs to arrange a meeting to entrap Trump’s volunteer. FBI officials would have had to send instructions to Joseph Mifsud and the unnamed Bimbo to meet with Papadopoulus. Yet Gowdy doesn’t provide this detail. Nor does he explain who the summary of the London entrapment meeting was sent to in the FBI. Why not, Trey?
Worse, if Gowdy saw this transcript, then it’s safe to assume that Director Wray, AG Sessions and Asst AG Rosenstein also had access to it. Yet these three stooges apparently did nothing about it. One can only hope that someone in the Federal govt, whether AG Barr or President Trump and his WH legal team have read this and other documents. Someone has to take their oaths of office seriously.

Trey Gowdy has done an excellent job in preparing the 'normies' for the coming military tribunals of all of the deep state traitors. After Barr, Huber, Horowitz, and Durham finish with their prosecutions, Gowdy will probably be the next AG during Trump's 2nd term. Those who "don't understand" Gowdy don't understand the rule of law, prosecution timelines, innocent until proven guilty, etc. The wheels of Justice grind slowly and exceedingly fine. Trey Gowdy has provided a tremendous service for the rule of law, the US Constitution, and, by extension, WE THE PEOPLE. WWG1WGA! MAGA!

PS - Those who state Gowdy blew the Bengazi hearings, don't understand separation of powers and the House role in oversight. There is NO prosecutorial authority embedded in the House. They can only recommend prosecution to the Executive Branch. At the time, that was controlled by hussein et al. Please, commenters, learn the supreme law of the land, the US Constitution. :)

The Deep State will either bury this or try to ignore it if it surfaces. There is only one game changer - the election in November 2020. Your last and only chance. Blow that and kiss your your beloved country good bye!

I liken it #9. It would answer a few questions, maybe. The investigators of this treasonous endeavor need to go back to the beginning and work forward ... say beginning in 2006/2007. This ship of fools had a captain.

Yeah, #11, while the chief FISA judge issued a CYA report in 2017 about abuses of the court (based on work by Admiral Rogers), I haven't seen too much from the FISA court judges concerning how their courts were used to spy on political opponents of the Emperor Obama the First and his handpicked successor.
Other stories have been publicized that the court basically rubber stamped the FISA warrants (no hearing) and judges would socialize with the leaders of the coup (ie, Stroyk's dinner parties).
Unless I hear differently (and see some results), I think the FISA court judges and their staffs were in this plot as deep as the rest of the coup plotters.

What possesses these people to sit on their hands and not leak the truth and not force the release of everything? The ability of the Deep State to avoid justice is maddening. Why hasn't Trump de-classified everything already?

#6 going on a 25 yr dream for me. Ive been wanting to see that 60s nightmare put up against a wall for treason and shot since I first saw the full page ad about her and Vince Foster...
Still, Im falling on the pessimistic side. How many times have we seen the click-bait news declare its over...and then it all gets eaten by a news cycle and something else gets thrown up...
I'll believe it all when the hammer actually does come down. Otw, Im trying to control my own little world best I can. Its all Ive got.

I recommend those of you down on Gowdy read #13 & #14. You need to educate yourselves on what can be done under our Constitution. He could not get those that were charged under the Constitution to do their duty. If you think you are frustrated with the failure to prosecute please give a thought to a true prosecutor sitting with his hands tied. Oh and read a little and try to under what the separation of powers is and does.

I believe you are correct, #17. If judges are anything they are anal and insist that rules and procedures be followed because that's where their power is. To expect us to believe that all of the FISA abuses somehow circumvented their little system is ludicrous. They knew, they helped and they are corrupt.

Wow! All above! Incredible insights.
Let us suppose the most likely answer is correct- that the FISA Judges actually are honest Jurists. And, let us also suppose there was an effort to mislead them or, in other-words, to subvert the courts. It leaves us wondering why there has been no effort from the FISA Judges to go to Barr or even Sessions and say they suspect their courts have been abused by the LEOS. After all, the only purpose of the FISA courts is to issue warrants - that is to keep LEOs honest and lawful. If they have been lied to in order for warrants to be issued, that is an outrageously unlawful thing to do. Who would have responsibility to correct that abuse? Only the Judges involved in issuing the original warrant. to let legal process continue under a falsely obtained warrant, is a crime in itself. By failure to act, such a Judge is actually a willful participant in the crime. Now, we have this situation where we all know of crimes committed. We like to think our newly appointed Atty Gnl will be going forward with actions pending completion of his proper investigation. If we know of these crimes and falsehoods used to obtain these warrants, the Judges know them, too. So, where are the FISA Judges so far? Silent.
That silence alone - in my way of thinking - all but proves they were in on it.
Just imagine how huge that would be if brought to a Grand Jury indictment! Possibly such a thing really is too big to prosecute.

Most of US have grown weary. Let US know when one of the guilty goes to prison. With any luck they will share a cell with Cohen and he will talk them to death.
