Now that Representative Trey Gowdy (Rep-SC) has announced he is not going to run for reelection, he has been asking some hard questions and not with a soft delivery.
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, this past December Gowdy asked Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein how he should explain to his constituents the conflict of interest that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team has against President Donald Trump.
Gowdy detailed reports of bias and demanded to know “what the hell is going on” with the FBI. He then lectured Rosenstein on the purpose of a special counsel.
The reason we have Special Counsel is because of conflicts of interest. We don’t like conflicts of interest because it undermines people’s confidence in both the process and the result. And lo and behold! Those that are supposed to make sure there are no conflicts of interest seem to have a bit of their own.
And then the questioning got tougher:
We have a prosecutor assigned to this conflict of interest-free team that attended what he hoped to be a victory party for Sec. Clinton. We have a senior DOJ official [recently demoted associate deputy AG Bruce Ohr], meeting with Fusion GPS… who was paying for Russian dirt on the very person they’re supposed to be objectively investigating.
Watch the video as Gowdy bluntly asserts who fashioned the rules for Robert Muller’s investigation and why they are so flawed.
