Declaration of Independence

Trey Gowdy


            Former Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) is my VIP for this week. I was sad when I heard that he was not going to seek reelection. I was happy to hear that he was a contributor at Fox News and would still be giving input on national events.

            Gowdy was the chair of the House Intelligence Committee before he retired, and he had the opportunity and the responsibility to see much of the information contained in the investigation of Donald Trump. He revealed on Sunday that there are some unreleased transcripts of conversations between former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos and an informant for the FBI. He says that those transcripts have the “potential to be a game-changer.” 

            According to Gowdy government officials may be guilty of wrongdoing by withholding the information from the judges on the FISA Court. He said that whenever law enforcement officers present information to judges for warrants that they are required to present exculpatory evidence, or evidence showing that the suspect is or could be innocent. This evidence is in the unreleased transcripts but was not given to the judges.

            The situation may be what Attorney General William Barr was considering when he said that he is investigating whether government officials “put their thumb on the scale” during the Russia collusion investigation.

            Gowdy outed the information on nationwide television. It is now all over the Internet. Will this outing cause any problems in the Barr investigation, or will it cause the information to be released quicker to the public? The rats involved in this bogus investigation are being illuminated, and there is nothing like shining the light on rats to make them scamper.
