Flynn sez he told members of the team all about his Russian dealings. Not one team member said anything to anyone about that.

Nunes has been running around acting all guilty and cover-uppy since Mueller was hired last May.

Gowdy only announced retirement earlier this week. ( some are calling him Gowdy Doody)

Seems the rats that are fleeing the ship may think that by "retiring" they are evading consequences. I am pretty sure there are lots of consequences to go around for everyone.

And by everyone, remember there are 20 or more people who were on that team, actually even more as some left, some joined.

He basically said he supported the FBI and DOJ community.

Let me look for the tweet.

On edit: Here's the tweet

Weak spin for someone who was supposed to have vetted the material.

means the "rank and file."

As opposed to the top leaders -- who Trump himself appointed.

That is until they're being interviewed by Muller. Then I'm certain their story will be they fully support the DOJ and what they do and this was all a misunderstanding.

Nunes must have not gotten back his top secret security clearance after his earlier WH stunt

Gowdy has been distancing himself and speaking out in support of Mueller because he must have found out that Trump campaign's coordination with Russia has been uncovered and more indictments are imminent. He doesn't want to go down with the sinking ship of Trump's obstruction of justice, since he wants a future high level career in justice or judiciary.
