Trey Gowdy: 'I Will Continue to Not Believe' McCabe Comments on Briefing Gang of 8 Over Trump Probe


by Caleb Howe | Feb 19th, 2019, 10:56 pm

Fox News contributor and former SC congressman Trey Gowdy spoke with Martha MacCallum on Tuesday night regarding fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe‘s assertion that he had briefed the so-called “Gang of Eight” about the FBI’S Trump-Russia investigation and “no one objected.” McCabe’s claim was big news all day, but Gowdy does not buy it.

McCabe said in an interview Tuesday morning that he had briefed the Gang of Eight– the intel body comprised the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate as well as the intelligence committee leaders–about the FBI opening a counterintelligence investigation into President Donald Trump and his ties to Russia. Gowdy told MacCallum he doesn’t believe it.

MacCallum asked Gowdy what he thought McCabe was “getting at” with the assertion that he briefed leaders like Rep. Devin Nunes and Rep. Paul Ryan and “no one objected.”

“That Devin and Paul knew about it and had no problem with it,” said Gowdy. “The reason he’s doing it this way is that Devin and Paul are not allowed to discuss anything that is said in a Gang of Eight meeting, and McCabe knows that. So he can level the accusation and Paul and Devin cannot refute him.”

“What I think is fascinating is, there were three investigations into a duly elected president,” said Gowdy. “The Peter Strzok one from July of 2016 and then McCabe started a counterintelligence, and if he’s telling the truth, started a criminal probe into the President of the United States.”

Hey "Deliverance Porch Dwelling Banjo Playing Moron Haircut" dickhead! You're slipping. You forgot to add "and his mistress" after Strzok.

I know you just started at faux, but EVERY mention of the bullshit Peter Strzok story must include lurid details that he was sleeping with a co-worker.

Come on man! How are you going to keep the mouth-breathing, angry old-white males attention without "showing a little leg"?

What a fucking moron.

The only duly elected president in July 2016 was Barack Obama, Trey. Looks a LOT like you don't know what you're talking about. Particularly when you claim that Devin Nunes is not allowed to discuss anything from a Gang of Eight meeting. That would be big news, indeed, considering Nunes' penchant for ersatz leaks.

if Nunes did not have the meeting discussed, would it have taken him 5 seconds to speed dial into Fox News to deny the meeting or 10 seconds to dial into Rush Limbaugh?
