So Gowdy apparently still has at least a momentary shred of dignityâŚ
Hemmer asked Gowdy if he had anything to add to Chaffetzâs comments, and in response the South Carolina Republican took the opposite tack.
âI donât view it as the Obama team,â Gowdy said. âI donât think the FBI is the Obama team, and I donât think the men and women who are career prosecutors at DOJ belong to any team other than a blindfolded woman holding a set of scales.â
Has anyone ever remarked about the similarity to Slade âSkeletorâ Gorton?
Minus the brains, of course.
Why Is Trump Returning to Birther-Style Attacks on Obama?
Attempts to delegitimize Barack Obama are a classic page in the Trump playbook.
. . . There is, however, an unmistakable familiarity to Trumpâs latest accusations against Obama. Without knowing whether Trumpâs tweets were based on an intelligence report, a news report, a conspiracy theory, or something else entirelyâone must consider the possibility that the unsubstantiated claims are, in fact, a political strategy. Trump has peddled a lie as a way to delegitimize Obama in the past.
âAn âextremely credible sourceâ has called my office,â Trump tweeted on August 6, 2012, âand told me that @BarackObamaâs birth certificate is a fraud.â
This was more than a year after Obama had publicly shared a copy of his birth certificate.
Trump reached for a classic tactic of his: Shock and distract.
I see Draco Malfoyâs evil twin.
Gowdy needs to dip his entire head in astringent every few hours. The guy exudes oil literally and figuratively, to a ridiculous extreme. Itâs gross.
Is this what you call a miracle?
I will trust Gowdy on this one !
Did hell just freeze over? Ed Grimley actually said that? Methinks some of these weasels are getting concerned about 2018.
During Trumpâs impeachment someone might want to ask Rep Gowdy what did he know and when did he know it.
I doubt it , Trey Gowdy is a Know-Nothing, most people know thatâŚ
Itâs a nothing burger. Make no mistake, Trey Gowdy is the enemyâŚand the enemy of our enemy isâŚstill our enemy. But he may prove useful if he turns his evil powers against Lilâ Donny.
He looks like one of the soggy bottom boys.
Trump: Gowdy needs to have a multi-year investigation, just like he did for Hillary. Breitbart claims must be investigated.
Chaffetz: Yes Sir!
He is making the point that hasnât been emphasized enough. The force of Trumpâs ridiculous accusation is that the FBI is massively corrupt, since even if Obama had wanted such a thing to happen, only the FBI would have the means to carry it out. Itâs really more of an attack on the IC than on Obama.
Trey Gowdy wouldnât see a soul-less vampire staring back at himself in a house of mirrors.
I think giving Gowdy credit for any shred of dignity is going a bit too far . . . He is merely trying to give himself a bit of cover here since heâs not insane enough to believe Trumpâs claim.
Trumpâs really screwed if he canât even get Gowdy-Doody on his side.
Fox Newsâ Bill Hemmer noted that Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), the House Oversight Chairman, said earlier on the network that the Obama administration had âbeen notorious on this type of stuff.â
One thing I noticed in the last election, and since, is that weâve gone from a scenario where there was at least some minute kernel of data to back up the wild assertions to a point where no data is required. Those on the right feel free to say any damn thing they want without regard to whether it even makes sense, much less displaying any regard for the truth, or reality.
After taking an 11-hour beating from Clinton, Gowdy doesnât want to spend even 11 minutes facing Obama.
