Former House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy responded to what he characterized as “an amazing statement” from former President Barack Obama, who said the rule of law was “at risk” after the Justice Department dropped its case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Obama: Rule of Law is ‘At Risk’
“Where is [Obama’s] respect for the rule of law for the crime that Michael Flynn was the victim of?” said Gowdy on Fox News on Sunday, where he is a contributor.
@BarackObama is panicking – Truth is “unmasking” him … No thanks to the liberal media who still tries to protect their guy: “…he was unmasked by somebody in Obama’s administration and then it was leaked… that is a 10-year felony…” https://t.co/dhvMi8dObo

“Remember, he was unmasked by somebody in Obama’s administration and then it was leaked… that is a 10-year felony, to disseminate classified information,” Gowdy said. “Michael Flynn was a victim of that crime.”
The DOJ decided to end its case against Flynn after internal memos emerged that raised questions about the origin and nature of the investigation that led to Flynn’s guilty plea for lying to the FBI in 2017.

“President Obama himself pardoned people for making false statements to the government,” Gowdy noted. “He picked [Justice Department Inspector General] Michael Horowitz, that was an Obama pick.”
“Michael Horowitz found fault after fault after fault with the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] program and [former FBI Director] Jim Comey and [former FBI Deputy Director] Andy McCabe, so I am delighted to hear President Obama’s newfound interest and respect for the rule of law,” Gowdy continued. “I just wish he would apply it equally to Republicans and Democrats.”
Gowdy then took direct aim at Obama directly.
“The FBI used a dossier that was bought and paid for by your political party without vetting a single factual allegation in that dossier,” he said. “You put it in front of a federal judge, where is your concern for respect for the rule of law as it relates to Carter Page and what happened to him?”
Trey Gowdy shares some choice words for Obama after he said the "rule of law is at risk" and directs a message at Emmet Sullivan, the judge presiding over the Flynn case, about the prospect of not granting the DOJ's motion to dismiss — https://t.co/C7gWcOzBxt — @dcexaminer pic.twitter.com/KVs4VNnVz3

Host Maria Bartiromo noted that even though the DOJ moved to end its case against Flynn, the federal judge overseeing the case still has to make the final determination to end it.
“The judge can sit there and not know whether or not he’s going to grant that motion to dismiss,” Gowdy said. “Good luck prosecuting the case, judge. You got to have a prosecutor to prosecute the case, so if the DOJ is not moving forward on Michael Flynn, I don’t think the judge is going to do it himself.”

Won’t it be totally rewarding if it’s Michael Flynn’s unlawful, illegal, fraudulent investigation for 3.5 years, brings the Obama House of Cards down? Have you ever seen the English version of House of Cards? The end would be appropriate for an arrogant self-centered, narcissistic, egotistical, man who thinks he can walk way from his crimes without justice being served.

obummer is a total loser. He tried to bring down OUR country while in office. Then when Trump was elected, he and g. soros cause wide spread damage to cities. With a name hussein, he should have been taken to iraq and stay with his idol. Now he is trying to fix the election so brain dead biden can continue the destruction of the US, under obummers trained eye.

I as a Democrat voted twice for Obama. He and the DNC completely failed me and all the rest of America that put their trust in them. We were used and abused and the Me Too Organization proves just that.

Gowdy, like other Republicans, talks that great game. But as for walking the walk–will ever see Obama, Clinton, et al, charged and indicted for criminal behavior? Me thinks not (based on the last thirty years-plus)!

Just when will it EVER BE ENOUGH, before they start convicting, Why can’t we hold them in GITMO until all the piles of hidden emails etc with every corrupt actions they already are caught for. Since when do we wait to arrest the criminal. They have enough to take them all down but we still wait. I know they would get those documents faster as long as the King & Queen of corruption are being held until trial. It’s like they have the trial before they arrest them.It is time right now, before more Dems cheat their way into another seat.

It’s probably never going to happen, but if anything these politicians who are charged need to be tried in GITMO as terrorists using their position to destroy this Nation. This is the epitome of Terrorist actions.

Just 1 more blame turn after the other, and is how Nobama handles everything, and is how I knew what he was doing when he was blaming a Republican for something . If he accused Reps of doing something it was always because he was actually the one doing it no matter the law, and used his blame turn to deflect getting caught doing it himself.
Russiangate is 1 perfect example, The DNC diverted the Biden scandal toward Trump saying Trump did it. The list is very long, not sure how old Nobama is, but it’s been that long. Can anyone tell me ANYTHING that Nobamaposer did good for the country? He is in the middle of everything that has been blame turned towards Trump Administration
‘Oh and let’s not forget Uranium unlawfully being supplied to Russia Just how does someone get away with supplying Russia, the enemy , with weaponry at the highest level, and this is why all Demonicrats are spinning any and all BS to divert from everyone knowing that Nobama and Hitlery who has proven to not care about the lives of We The People, as they watched Benghazi go down at every turn and then would never say where they were when Daughtery and Woods called over and over and over, because they lit up the mortar site for that plane to come in and take it out. But there was no plane, nor anyone there to help these heroes of Benghazi. Put your mind where Woods and Daughtery were, when protocol just wasn’t there except by These Heroes, found slumped over their guns dead, No One Came

Remember how the liberal media touted that obama was a brilliant law professor.. the truth was that he only substituted a few times.. AND HE LOST HIS LICENSE AND only handed 36 cases as a lawyer before switching over to community organizer.. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES OF HOW MUCH LAW Obama had knowledge of..

Trey Gowdy is the most brilliant and honest attorney that I have ever known about and it is next to impossible to use those two words to explain any attorney. The Obamas’ need to crawl back into their hole and hope they can’t be found again. The walls are closing in on the Dem/Communists criminal activity and hopefully they will be put behind bars soon. They are hoping that their lemmings are brain dead enough to keep believing their lies.
I think they are still in a tiff about the half-exposed organized COUP D”ETAT they are still trying to foist upon us. Like it or not, we chose a NON-POLITICIAN to represent us in DC and around the world.. without the political BS and baggage and game playing.. and many in DC are finding themselves exposed for their lifelong pursuits of power and greed and aggrandizement at the expense of US.
Will they try ANTHRAX on us next to postpone Nov 3?
I figure Bloombersburg didn’t spend 500 M on advertisments just to appear twice. I figure he is working with BHO/HRC/Soros and a few others.. and the coup while muffed up abit is on going.. they are trying to take our country.
ARTICLE V of the USC now. vote CONSERVATIVE Nov 3. Hopefully it will be Trump, they won’t have managed to off him by then, but you gotta figure they will do oanything to anyone to avoid being prosecuted..

He was a follower of Sal Alinsky and Farracutt so he was rolled out as the perfect candidate to ruin America and our government. Everyone treated him like a rock star and now this former community activist is filthy rich and enjoys being “Mr. Elite”.
God, I love and miss Trey Gowdy! Sure wish he had stuck around – maybe as AG? Am glad to continue to follow him and I really wish he and Chaffetz had stayed in so they, along with Jim Jordan, could better keep the House Dems in line.
Anyway, spot on with Obama. He has become the most intrusive past president to remain as politically active as he and he really needs to learn to watch from the sidelines. 90% of the political identity polarity we deal with today came from his administrations with the expansion of the socialistic arm of the Dem party. And, Flynn turned out to know a whole more about geopolitics than Obama (or any POTUS). Now
