Representative Gowdy News Today

You come things behind closed door, you give me 15 pages of testimony that is never subject to cross-examination and you want me to comment, forget that. >> i can tell you that of the 50 some odd interviews we have done thus far, the vast majority of them have been private and you dont see the bickering among the members of congress in private interviews. you dont see any of that. private ones always produce better results. >> so how come the private ones produce better results for republicans i...

Professionals. theyre high government officials. i think we need to ratchet everything back. we need to sort of have the tone tamped down a little bit. we need to let these gentleman do the job they are empowered to do and that the country needs them to do. >> well, linda mcmahon is a member of the -- well, she co-founded world wrestling entertainment and it was president trump himself who once body slammed her husband at an actual wrestling match. those were the good old days. congressman gowdy...

Eight investigations of benghazi as well. so what strikes me as odd, too, if you go back to the watergate days, when republicans of good conscious put no such time line on the investigations that were taking place then and, in fact, insisted that the president ultimately own up to anything he might have done. this is in sharp contrast to the history of the republican party with respect to how they deal with things like improper activities by the president, in this case, potential collusion with ...

Jail. glen, could the release of these documents affect robert muellers investigation? >> absolutely, stephanie. as a career prosecutor for 30 years, the sort of sanctity and integrity of a criminal investigation is really key. if youre going to do a fair, thorough, even handed job. and i really think these piecemeal attacks and requests that in the midst of an investigation that the mueller team begin handing over documents that are not matters of public record can do real damage to -- to a cri...

Thank you for comingg on. >> thank you. >> tucker: we know that an fbi and cia informant on the government payroll making quite a bit of money for my government made contact with at least three members of the trump campaign during m the campaign, gathered information from them surreptitiously and passed it back to the obama administration. you can argue it was justified and im open minded. but that is a spying. tell me why its not spying. >> the speaker of the house and senators have talked abou...

Suggestion it was a fisa warrant? is that true? >> youre quite right, tucker. its a semantic difference. even chairman gowdy, who objected to the word spy admits there was an informant. on one side of this, we have people who are engaged in hyperbole, the other side is engaged in euphemism. we are talking ted about the sae thing, we are talking about covert operatives sent into get information. you dont have to have a fisa surveillance warrant to use an informant. in fact, its a pretty low stand...

Why is it not spying? >> any republican who saw a shred of evidence that the obama administration wast spying on te trump campaign would clearly have said it was spying -- >> tucker: that is your explanation? some politicians that its not spying. im asking you as an officer -- running for office. use your brain. tell me why, given what you jusl said, its really simple, im not asking whether it was justified. it may havein been. but why is that not spying? secretly gathering information on somebo...

And i think they have to let mueller work. i dont want anyone to feign surprise when this president starts to go after rod rosenstein or robert mueller. we just saw what happened with mccabe. set to retires, fired two days before then. hopefully, he will listen to trey gowdy, i doubt it. i think its going to be a war with the fbi to try to discredit them. its irony. and do you remember when barack obama was in office, and everyone criticized him for not being stuff enough on russia? >> yeah. >> ...

Representative gowdy and whether or not president shutrump shoul interfere with him? >> i can tell you, let him do his job. folks weve interviewed theres no evidence of collusion. thats the best i can do. executive branch investigations have more credibility. they have more tools and thats what i think my fellow citizens ought to be waiting for and have confidence in. not congressional investigations that are run by guys running for the senate in california who have never met a camera that they ...

Cant end a trial simply because the defense wont cooperate. >> for 16 years i spoke in trial met force and perhaps i need to get out of that habit. what i simply meant is when you ask me how long somethings going to last, i need to know how cooperative the other side is going to be. >> did the congressman in effect give away whats going on here that this is really about putting the administration on trial and not trying to find out whats happening? >> i think it was his world, but everybody know...
