Trey Gowdy is the
last Congressman liberals want to see digging into corruption.
He made his name
investigating Hillary Clinton’s conduct during the Benghazi scandal and
uncovered her private email server.
Now, his new role has
the left terrified.
Congressman Gowdy
announced he was taking a seat on the Intelligence Committee.
Looking forward to
joining the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Full statement

Gowdy taking a seat
on the Intelligence Committee could not come at a more opportune time.
Obama administration
political appointees in the intelligence community repeatedly leaked stories to
the press designed to smear then President-elect Trump.
Shortly before the
Electoral College vote, stories appeared in The Washington Post and NBC News about
reports that it was the assessment of the intelligence community that Russian
President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian hackers to interfere in the election
in order to help elect Trump.
Obama’s political
people at the CIA and other intelligence agencies leaked the story to paint
Trump as a Russian agent, and maybe even influence the Electoral College vote.
After the Electoral
College affirmed Trump’s victory, an opposition research memo prepared by an
ex-British intelligence agent for political opponents of Trump surfaced in the
press — after it was included in a briefing for President Obama and Vice
President Biden.
The memo was filled
with unverified and debunked gossip that alleged Trump committed scandalous
acts while traveling in Russia, and that his associate met with agents of the
Kremlin.
The memo alleged the
Russian government possessed compromising information on Trump.
All of it was false,
but many believed it was leaked to the press by Obama political appointees in
the intelligence community.
Some Republicans were
outraged.
Senator Rand Paul
declared someone should go to jail for these leaks.
Breitbart reports on Senator Paul’s
appearance on CNN:
PAUL: “I THINK
IT’S VERY IMPORTANT THAT PRIVATE INFORMATION THAT’S DISCUSSED IN PRIVATE
INTELLIGENCE BRIEFINGS BE PRIVATE. CLASSIFIED INFORMATION SHOULD NOT BE LEAKED
TO THE PRESS. I DON’T KNOW WHO DID THIS, BUT I CAN TELL YOU IN ALL LIKELIHOOD,
IT WASN’T A REPUBLICAN. IT WASN’T DONALD TRUMP. IT WASN’T HIS PEOPLE. SO YOU
HAVE A COUPLE OF CHOICES. THIS WAS EITHER LEAKED TO NETWORKS AND OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS BY INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS OR BY DEMOCRATS THAT ARE PART OF THE
ELITE EIGHT THAT GET THESE BRIEFINGS. THERE’S ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WHO COULD HAVE
LEAKED THIS INFORMATION. THE REASON WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU DON’T
WANT PUBLIC OFFICIALS WHO ARE BEING BLACKMAILED TO BE AFRAID TO GO TO THE FBI
AND SAY ‘HERE’S THIS INFORMATION.’ IF A PUBLIC OFFICIAL TAKES PRIVATE
INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE BEING BLACKMAILED WITH TO THE FBI AND THEN IT LEAKS
INTO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, THAT IS INEXCUSABLE, AND REALLY SOMEBODY SHOULD GO TO
JAIL AND WE HAVE NOT TALKED ABOUT THIS ENOUGH. A LEAK LIKE THAT IS SO
SIGNIFICANT IF IT CAME FROM THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, THEY SHOULD GO TO JAIL.
IF IT CAME FROM THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, THEY SHOULD GO TO JAIL. YOU CANNOT
ALLOW THE LEAKING OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS, PARTICULARLY WHENS IT GOES TO
SOMEONE’S CHARACTER SO I THINK THIS IS A TRAGEDY AND DONALD TRUMP IS RIGHT TO
BE MAD.”
With Congressman
Gowdy and his reputation for dogged pursuit of the truth now on the
intelligence community, many feel reassured that any politically-motivated
leaks to hurt President Trump will be exposed and the perpetrators held
accountable.
