1. In his continuing audition for a federal judgeship, @TGowdySC proclaims that an investigator who says negative things about Trump in a private, off-the-cuff conversation is unfit to investigate. (Why oh why is @DevinNunes not running the FBI case, Gowdy probably pines)....
2...so let's take @TGowdySC at his word: People who express negative thoughts in private about a politician cannot investigate that politician. No too strict: Let's make it it has to be publicly expressed. No, too strict: Let's make it they have to public state it in a formal....
3...written statement. No, still too strict. Make it the formal written statement must give the conclusion of the investigation before the investigation is conducted. DONE! Let me check my list. Who meets all those conditions. Hmmm....

Why, it's @TGowdySC!....
4...that's right, Mr. "Dont say negative things about a politician in private conversations" gave PUBLIC conclusions in PRESS RELEASES about Benghazi long before he held one hearing for his bogus Benghazi committee (the ninth investigation.) Let's review them:....
5...in november 2012, two months after the Benghazi attack, @TGowdySC issued a press release quoting him as saying that the Obama Administration “intentionally misled the American people” about the attack. He did it again in September 2013, ignoring the findings of reports....
6...already issued (knowing they contradicted fox but that his base would never read the reports or see news reports on what they said) he stated in a press release about Benghazi “If you can’t trust the information your government is giving you, how can you trust your....
7..."government on any issue?” Eight months after THAT, he was appointed to head the Benghazi committee. Few journalists noted that @TGowdySC had already publicly stated his conclusion and allowed him to claim "My goal is to conduct an inquiry that is rooted in fairness.” This...
8...use of government by the republicans to conduct "investigations" that are nothing more than part of the cycle of generating crap for Fox, which then their misinformed viewers slavishly vomit back up - rinse repeat - is obscene. I am SICK of spending our tax dollars on....
9....effort that have NOTHING to do with fact, and are merely political plays that are then used for fundraising. Large number of the GOP have lost all credibility as having any interest in government. Today's hearing about their conspiracy theories on Strzok - claiming that...
10... a single FBI agent who said negative things about Trump in private (as he did about Hillary) somehow took over the entire Justice Deparment and FBI, manufactured voluminous details of Russian interference that deceived not only every US intel agency, but our allies as....
11...well, then, after he was removed from the Mueller investigation to end any possibility of claims of taint, is proclaimed as having directed the Mueller investigation. NOTHING is beneath these people claiming it, because they KNOW they have a base that will believe it....
12...they KNOW that by demanding he reveal information about an ongoing investigation he will refuse (he has to) and then they can get publicity by saying "CONTEMPT!" when they KNOW the US Attorney in DC routinely ignores their "let's get on TV" proclamations of contempt....
13...without fail, @TGowdySC refuses to release transcripts of private interviews, even after the investigation is over, even when witnesses beg him to, because in each case, they ask nothing about the issue involved and almost exclusively about the news coverage (I have seen...
14...some of them and reported on what they said). Same with this FBI agent. Their performance of tearing apart any institution (FBI, CIA, DIA, Justice Department) that gets in the way of their conspiracy theories is a clear and present danger to the United States.
