House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy has requested the appearance of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz on May 8th, 2018:
(Committee Link – pdf LINK HERE)
Hopefully, this is not cause for alarm. However, given the history of such activity; and specifically given the history of the engagements and motives of the participants involved in this request; it is a troubling development.
The House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee is the official DC enterprise deployed when Washington DC interests identify a threat and maneuver their political UniParty alliances to eliminate the issue. Historic Oversight Committee references to Fast-n-Furious (Issa), IRS targeting (Chaffetz), and the origin of the Benghazi, Libya investigation are recent examples of outcomes therein.
There is a pattern that should not be dismissed. There is a strong likelihood the DOJ-OIG investigation is too close to the heartbeat of the swamp; and therein the motive for the committee to be called into action becomes part of the self-preservation technique this specific assembly is noted for. Adding more weight to the concern is the appearance of Representative Trey Gowdy as the requesting authority.
As if that wasn’t concerning enough, the specific area of focus for the committee is outlined in the letter: “The hearing relates to the election-related review“, targeting the 2016 election and the 2017/2018 IG investigation therein.
Previously IG Michael Horowitz sent a letter to Senator Chuck Grassley notifying his office the IG report should be completed “in May”.
Understanding that nothing happens in DC ‘accidentally’ or ‘coincidentally’ we are left with two options:
Option #1 – Chairman Gowdy is anticipating the IG report to be completed and delivered prior to May 8th, and he’s positioning for an open committee hearing on the content therein…. motive undetermined (suspected dubious by those who understand precedent).
Option #2 – Chairman Gowdy, and his co-hort Elijah Cummings, wants to preempt the release, with chaff and countermeasures -OR- enhanced publicity prior to release. The former based on prior experience, the latter for those of more optimistic disposition.
We would be remiss if we did not draw reference to the last worst example of weaponization of government; in 2010 where the IRS targeted Tea Party groups and both Democrats and Republicans benefited from the Obama administration’s use of the DOJ to eliminate the threat the Tea Party represented.
In 2010 IRS Official Lois Lerner was instructed by Attorney General Eric Holder to deliver the “schedule B” filings of 501-c(3)(4) groups, listing every single person who donated to Tea Party groups regardless of contribution amount. Ms. Lerner gave the DOJ twenty-one CD-ROMS containing over 1 million names. {Go Deep} The subsequent list was called the “secret research project”. All of this is documented – none of this is conspiracy theory – the DOJ settled a class-action lawsuit last year admitting to the scheme. The DC investigation into the individuals who coordinated the plan was dropped quietly in 2015. No-one was charged.
There are similarities to the 2010, 2011 use of the IRS and DOJ to target political opposition; and the 2015, 2016 use of the FBI and DOJ to target candidate Donald Trump and his campaign. There are a lot of similarities. Unfortunately, there are also the same DC benefactors.
As noted in the original use of Fusion-GPS, and Glenn Simpson, by the campaign allies of Marco Rubio to conduct political opposition research – the republican side of the UniParty apparatus uses the same systems, entities, organizations, lawyers and personnel used by the democrat side of the UniParty. Trey Gowdy was a supporter of Marco Rubio.
It is reasonable to anticipate entities deep within the Republican infrastructure were willing allies with the FBI and DOJ “small group”, hence we see John McCain, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romey, Ben Sasse, Jeff Flake, Paul Ryan, Carly Fiorina (and many, many, more) who likely understood the goals, objectives and benefits behind weaponizing the FBI/DOJ and intelligence community to eliminate their opposition. [Never forget the severity of the scheme within the original GOPe plan in the 2016 presidential primary.]
Don’t be surprised, if down-the-road, we find direct evidence of key GOPe leadership aiding and assisting the Clinton Campaign, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Loretta Lynch and Sally Yates et al. Actually, I would be dumfounded if direct evidence therein is not discovered.
Having said that, this request by Congressman Trey Gowdy is sketchy.
Eyes-Wide-Open
I’ve thought for awhile that the swamp has been at least as interested in protecting the bad actors in the Obama administration and HRC’s campaign as they are in getting Trump. With the OIG starting to connect Lynch to interfering in the Weiner laptop investigation through threats, I think things are getting too warm. I expect even more energy and frantic activity from the swamp to get this thing shutdown.

IMHO Gowdy has been acting hencky for a while. When he said he was leaving it was a relief.
I don’t know if anyone here has ever worked a dangerous job, but those that have know that when there is corruption it can be life and death. We are finding out about a Soros judge, and also know for a fact that Soros has been funding Leftist District Attorney races all across the USA. So how many judges are bought and paid for by the globalists? Geez, that’s every branch of the government.
Are these RINO politicians just getting out of the way, or are they doing the last dirty job for the Swamp and getting out? I think they have impure motives because they could have left long ago and they didn’t.
I saw a book being sold on an infomercial today on NewsMax by Dr. Jerome Corsi, called Killing the Deep State: The Fight to Save President Trump. I don’t approve of people trying to make money off of being a Patriot. It bugs me, it’s a personal peeve of mine. The infomercial said that they were giving away free books on some website. I’m not advocating his book, but I think having a plan is an effective method of expression if ya know what I mean. We are, after all, very useful and productive people.
My point is direction and a plan to rid us of the deep state would be nice. Instead of just sending support perhaps ask Donald Trump’s PAC guy on Lou Dobbs what the plan is, or Lara Trump on the 2020 campaign team.
We can have action plans. Why not? This is WAR. I think I wrote someone here on one of our threads (he was frustrated) that we should create an Action Plan website.
We need to put our energy somewhere…..I love the CTH, there is so much activity. Perhaps a directional energy, with a little punch to it.

Dr. Corsi is one of the few “back channels” that PDJT uses to “get the message out”, bypassing the fake news MSM (besides his twitter account, of course).
The book is an outline of we the people can do to help our President. As we see now, he has few members of Congress on his MAGA plan. Dan Bongino has said today that PDJT is facing impeachment whether or not Mueller is fired, because the swamp wants to keep their filthy lucre and not be accountable to the voters- just the “donor class” that provides the gravy train.

A couple of comments on Trey Gowdy:
1. In the attached video, Joe DiGenova made a comment about Gowdy’s ignorance of the facts about the Libby case, despite claims that he is very intelligent. I noticed a little “tell” several weeks ago that supports that. Gowdy was going on about how Devin Nunes should be willing to be patient and wait for the OIG to conduct a full investigation. Gowdy used the word “fulsome” instead of “full”, obviously believing that the former was just a more impressive-sounding synonym for the latter, which most here will know is assuredly NOT the case! That any person of Gowdy’s claimed experience and reputation in the practice of law could fail to know the true meaning of “fulsome” is difficult to credit. I smell a poseur.
2. I cannot remember the context of the above gaffe in which Gowdy was urging patience, but he obviously was in favor of slowing things down. Perhaps we are over-thinking his invitation letter, and it is nothing but a way of tipping someone off that the dreaded report is coming not just in May, but EARLY in May! I found the segue between the invitation which was for no stated specific purpose, and the offer to delay if the REPORT was not ready to be quite strange. It was almost as if the writer first wanted to give the appearance that the invitation was just for a friendly chat, but then realized he needed to make sure that the real topic of the interview would be ready! On the other hand, perhaps Gowdy was simply fishing for a clue as to when the report would drop?! Either way, it feels like a bit of clumsy gamesmanship for our famous legal-eagle!

I admit having Obsessive Contrarian Disorder, but isn’t it possible that Gowdy is mostly trying to flush out whether the IG Report will be delayed yet again? The whole letter is constructed to force Horowitz to confirm his attendance to discuss the report. The third sentence says to let him know if any rescheduling is needed because of delays with issuing the report. I actually think Gowdy is trying to force an end to the cycle of delays. Is this the first reference to the IG Report being out by 5-7-18? I’ve only seen “May”.
What the hearings themselves are designed to accomplish is another matter. Gowdy obviously wants first crack and camera time. But that’s at the expense of having the massive report out long enough to analyze what’s in it, so informed questions can be posed. (Or does Gowdy fancy that he already knows the contents).

Hello William,
I find that, I too, am compelled to speak to the subject matter of which you reference, that being the person of Trey Gowdy.
While the man has an incredible oratory skill in asking questions, as shown in the Benghazi hearings, and other clips that I have been able to see him in, he shows passion and diligence in wanting to get to the heart of the matter yet, like many others that are inhabitants of the swamp, there is that one final piece that many refuse to shine a light on.
This, to say the least, has proven to be a major disappointment for many here in the Treehouse, and others in the surrounding forest.
It is admirable, as others have stated, that you show loyalty to this person that you are acquainted with. Myself, I do not know the person, only what I have seen and heard of him.
Is it his fault that the investigations that he has been involved in did not move forward? Is it his fault that there has never been a meaningful resolution? Is it his fault that investigations were dropped?
The answers to these questions, I do not know. However, what I do know is this; all of these past investigations have been recorded and saved for the record. None, as far as I know, have been resolved conclusively. Therefore, the testimonies are all still available, and if not closed with finality, the testimonies can still be used in future proceeding to prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes.
As was seen with the release of the IG report, past interviews were used to get McCabe terminated and possibly there are criminal investigations ongoing.
Remember the little part about the Miranda; anything you say, can and will be used against you in a court of law.
So, to all of the doubters out there, we know that God is a God of justice and mercy. Yet, also that vengeance belongs to Him.
Have faith, it works miracles.

It seems that Joe states that Comey applies two opposite forms of justice for his friends and enemies. And he gives the Blagoyovich case as the other extreme.
I believe his point was that as disingenuous as Comey and Loretta Lynch are, at the very least, Clinton should have been charged with a misdemeanor just to fake the justice.
It was odd, but that is how I am hearing his argument.

It is odd. Perhaps, like Dershowitz, DiGenova voted for Hillary and does not believe she should be charged, and also believes Comey is responsible for her loss. In this interview he is vehement that Comey should be charged.
Dershowitz has been straddling both side of the fence pretty effectively for awhile now. Perhaps DiGenova is as well. That said, I don’t know that it’s a good look on either of them.

Sundance has done truly great work explaining the Big Ugly v. Deep State intrigues, including this latest story – but this last one also presages the finale that was always coming, that is, a combination of timidity, shortsightedness, and old-fashioned corruption is going to undermine what good the OIG’s efforts might have done.
We were hoping against hope these affairs would be revealed as worse than Watergate, a satisfying told-ya-so comeuppance for decades of manipulation by smug Beltway insiders. But that’s wishful dreaming. Let’s face it, this will most likely end as did the IRS fiasco. Yes, at best a flunky like McCabe might get slapped for show, but none of the biggest bad actors who called the shots will ever be asked so much as a mildly uncomfortable question by the lapdog press, let alone face charges.
Justice is for little people, especially little people who question their betters. As earnest as the investigators’ efforts have been in the end it’s just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Though the country will probably survive much of its governance is now corrupt beyond redemption. Breaks my heart to believe that. I’ll just keep praying I’m wrong.

IG report first, or concurrently.
Reasons for hope.
#1. Horowitz de-neutered the OIG.
#2. Sessions appointed a PA 7-9 months before it was made public.
#3. PA is from outside the Swamp.
#4. Rougly 12 people neutered, fired, demoted, or quit. Record?
#5. McCabe fired.
#6. McCabe IG report “meticulous” – Kimberely Strassel, NYT.
#7. Timing: McCabe fired before retiring; McCabe IG report published just before Comey attempt at tarnishing President.
#8. 1.5 Million – either pages or documents (5-10M pages?) – doesn’t appear to be a whitewash.
#9. Logical: Michael Horowitz has already telegraphed the Mother of All Investigations (MOAI) will drop in segments. Good for them, good for us.
#10. The MSM appears clueless.
#11. OIG not leaking. (Antithesis of Mueller investigation.)
#12. McCabe firing, and a timeline provided by Sundance and others, shows some solid people in the FBI are majorly pissed.

Many politicians are not yet exposed as white or black hats. There are legit reasons, for example, to publicly support Mueller…e.g., It provides cover for others who are in districts where aggressively supporting Trump might energize opposition more. So, in theory, Gowdy could be a white hat while appearing to be a black hat.
Having said that, I do think it’s time to choose sides. Support your d@mn team or join the opposition. Even an idiot can see how ridiculous the Mueller investigation has become. It is clearly intended to come up with compromising information and to be an ongoing threat to frustrate and restrain Trump.
I have never trusted Gowdy since his performance with Benghazi and the IRS scandals. He always wants to appear a republican but never draws any blood. We need to be done with this type of politician. The tent isn’t big enough for traitors. If the country cannot see how corrupt DC is and wants to keep putting these @sshats in office, when then the country is lost.
My hope is Trump knows why Gowdy is resigning and will play a card if necessary to keep him in his box. You don’t just quit like that unless someone has taken you out.
Regarding the hearing, I’m guessing Horowitz will play it like Obama used to. At the last minute, just don’t show up or go but refuse to answer questions until the report is finished.
It is sad and maddening that such a high level guy involved in this investigation is starting to appear as if he’s one of the stinking, corrupt, POS inhabiting congress. We shouldn’t be surprised that so many in Congress don’t give a crap about the country or us, but I continually am.

BARTIROMO: By the way, before you go, do you think we’re going to see criminal referrals out of this I.G. report, the Michael Horowitz report?
GOWDY: You could. Any time I see a lack of candor that is Latin, sometimes, for false statement and, you know, there are a lot of people in the Mueller probe that have been walking in front of judges pleading guilty to making a false statement. I’m not presuming anything, I’m not prejudging anything, I really am waiting on Michael Horowitz’s report but if there’s a lack of candor and a duty particularly under oath to be candid then you may see criminal referrals.

I too think Gowdy may be up to something… he’s not earned a lot of trust. But there’s also one possibility that ISN’T that big a deal:
We all know that, among other things, Gowdy is a publicity hound. So if he suspects the IG report is gonna be as huge as we all suspect it will be, could it be that he’s just trying to make sure HIS cute little rooster face gets to be plastered all over TV and in the history books? I assume that pretty much every committee in Congress is gonna be wanting to hold hearings on the IG report, especially if it looks like indictments are gonna start flying. So maybe there’s just a “Me first!” thing going on. Gowdy may not know if the report will be finished by May 8th, but if Horowitz wants to reschedule, and OTHER committees start asking for him to show up at THEIR hearings, Gowdy could now declare “Okay, back of the line for the rest of you. I get to go first, since I was the first one to ask!”

The Swamp is not going to surrender and the fight against it will not easily be won. The strategy of delay is relatively easy to utilise, particularly if the media are complicit. Setbacks are sure to occur and resolution, great resolution, is needed to win this battle. The Clintons know the lawyering game and their agents are everywhere, but the game is afoot and their position continues to erode. Trump has demonstrated every intent to fulfil his promise to drain the swap as the Stormy scandal was faced down and as the unending media onslaught continues. It is likely, however, that some kind of nuclear option remains for the Black Hats and there are signs in some of the media comments that a trade off will be proposed – along the lines of let us maintain our “legacy” and we’ll “cut it out.” The question is whether the President will relent. Personally I think he will not. That December Executive Order to confiscate assets was drawn with a purpose. It’s unlikely that he’s not thinking of it every day.
