Read tweets 1-13 to understand how f'kd up this is.

He needs to be outed & stopped.

less about them having their heads in the sand during the entire Trump fiasco they were party to. 2018 will be about "taking GOP names and kicking ass".

It was Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz that put pressure on Comey to release the emails. In my opinion, they had their hands on the scale when Comey was investigating Hillary's emails.

In the event she would be a candidate.

They had her especially in their sights because without a massively funded corrupt campaign against her, they knew they would never defeat her.

Gowdy & Chaffetz & probably 80% of the gop in the congress & house are all on the Trump-Pac payroll.

So the argument that Trump is paying off Gowdy may be a bit of a stretch. Certainly groups supporting Trump are contributing to Gowdy. Not sure how much of a case can be made that Gowdy recuse himself based on that.


Great America PAC is a Super PAC that supported Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential Election.[2]
Great America PAC was founded in 2016 by Eric Beach, a political strategist who is a veteran of presidential campaigns.[3] Beach soon brought on Ed Rollins, a long time Republican campaign consultant and strategist who served as the campaign manager for Ronald Reagan's 1984 presidential campaign

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_America_PAC


As noted in the fine print displayed in the ad’s final few seconds, the ad is sponsored by the “Committee to Defend the President.”
As it described itself in its own fine print, the Committee to Defend the President is a “project of Stop Hillary PAC” and “not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.” (On Saturday, Stop Hillary PAC officially changed its name to “The Committee to Defend the President,” according to federal records.)

If there're sleuths digging & happen to follow a trail that opens eyes & doors to further uncovering yet another backdoor channeling of Trump millions for favors, then I welcome those who never let a few dead ends stop their mission.

It certainly does need to be handed over to those like Adam Schiff & let the chips fall where they may.
