I don’t think bringing up Flynn is a great strategy here…
Gowdy, Nunes, and Chaffetz need to be frog-marched out behind the Capitol, and be shot for treason.
If party before country isn’t treason, I don’t know what is…
Could we pass a law the Gowdy be required to degrease himself before he appears on TV.
Just my reaction, too. Everytime thry do that, they are reminding everyone of Flynn’s behavior. If this is all they’ve got, they’ve got nothing.
He’s such a shit bag. That is all.
Just had another '73 flashback to a bunch of Nixon loyalists and hyper-partisans who spent a lot of time trying to deflect by attacking leakers and the press
Let’s see if I understand Trader Trey. He is more concerned that we now know that the former National Security Adviser was in regular communication with the Russians regarding inappropriate topics that we are about the fact that Flynn is a possible undercover agent for Russia.
We already know that Flynn was an agent of Turkey at the time and that he had not complied with the law by registering as an agent of a foreign government.
This is a classic example of the Republicans attempt to distract from their own improper activities.
Gowdy failed to make the mark he had hoped he would. See, his effort fell short since it betrayed the much bigger news of Trump’s own Russiagate issues and the lie of his claim that President Obama wire tapped him.
Interesting that this classic effort at deflection by Gowdy may have been orchestrated by Trump, Bannon, et al in an obviously failed attempt. Nice try but the intelligence community has lived with leaks, many they do on purpose, for decades.

"House Benghazi Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy appears to have accidentally released the name of a CIA source in the midst of a back-and-forth with Democrats about how sensitive the information was and whether its presence in former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email account constituted a security breach.
Gowdy’s aides blamed the State Department for the disclosure, and the agency acknowledged Monday a “human error” led to a failure to delete a name from the email in question…"
Lock him UP!
Hey Howdy Gowdy I think it was Scooter Libby, if not Dick Cheney, that outed a CIA agent ??
Comey is a POS !
Gowdy: Would he have had access to an unmasked name?
Comey: Yes, sir, just as you did. It was Clayton Moore. Have you forgotten the autographed photo he sent your family? My understanding is that you wouldn’t shut up about it, that you drove your friends and neighbors crazy claiming that you had singlehandedly unmasked The Lone Ranger. Are you still mad he “misspelled” your surname, sir? As he explained in his follow-up letter it was merely an innocent mix-up made by his secretary. It wasn’t a conspiracy.
Gowdy: Yeah but …
Nunes: The gentleman’s time has expired.
Is Flynn’s criminal activity a matter of national security?
Gowdy excels at being an idiot and an asshole. He is his own worst enemy.
He has an agenda to drive - and thus has his partisan mudslinging blinders on. Can’t see beyond his role in smearing Obama. In this outraged-frothy state he can’t possibly fathom that bringing Flynn up emphasized the problem of collusion between the campaign and Russia. That, and he’s an idiot.
I assume the idea is that Flynn’s involvement has already saturated the news, and cynically mentioning every member of the Obama administration makes that the story for the next couple of cycles. The journalistic brain trust at Fox will most certainly repeat these questions every 5 minutes, most likely saying something like, “Members of congress asked James Comey if Susan Rice, etc etc etc leaked classified information.”
How about open collaboration with a hostile foreign power?
I don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade, but turning nothing into horrendous crimes by democrats is the GOP’s specialty. Should I list examples?
Well, gee, what did you expect? These guys are not exactly known for their smarts.
Their flailing is just making them look ridiculous. They are obviously the only one who haven’t yet figured it out though.
then how will they slide him into the room?
