During Live CNN Interview, Ex-Arizona House Speaker Reveals He Spoke To The FBI In Smith’s Probe

Former Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) revealed Wednesday that he has been interviewed by the FBI in connection with special counsel Jack Smith’s probe into former President Donald Trump and his allies’ efforts to overturn the 2020 election.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1462453

Bowers said: “I didn’t offer them nothing new.”

Whoa Nellie! Is that a deliberate double negative? A straight-up statement would be “I offered them nothing new.”

(of course, why would rusty bowers bother delivering a cloaked truth to a TV newsie? It’s not like he can be sent away for 5 years for lying to a TV talking head, unlike lying to the feds)

The next states to admit they talked to special counsel’s team: Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Have the feeling there is a large group of Repubs that talked to special counsel’s team but did not say nothing unless Trump is hung for being a traitor.

Which they will then state publicly they were always against the Trump guy and, look, they talked to the Special Counsel’s team to help put Trump away.

It’s a mistranscription of his words from the audio. More a plain typo, or some would say a braino.

I am no right winger but there is one thing I do like about Rusty Bowers. He calls it as he sees it, meaning her prefers truth to bullshit. That characteristic cost him his job in the AZ legislature.

Rusty Bowers is a bit of a blurter, but I repeat myself. Alas.

In other news, the sun rises in the east.

Bowers already gave headline-grabbing testimony to the J6 Committee. The only surprise is that it took DOJ a year after the Hill testimony to get around to talking to him.
