After much bluster and obfuscation, Rep Trey Gowdy admits he altered the documents that he used to make false claims against Hillary Clinton in a response to a letter from Rep Elijah Cummings. The key parts:
[M]y understanding is the CIA advised the Committee in a very brief email late Saturday night that it had reviewed the material in question and asked for no material to be redacted [. . . ]
Our Committee has access to career civil servants, former federal prosecutors, former intelligence experts as well as military experts who are uniquely well suited to gauge intelligence information and how it should be handled. Although the Executive Branch is ultimately responsible for classification,
we remain concerned with the naming of sources and methods and will continue to protect that information now and going forward where it is readily apparent to us. As such, we will continue to redact certain information to protect sensitive information regardless of how others treat that information [...] [My emphasis.]
Gowdy admits that he decided to make this improper redaction. That he attempts to obfuscate the point by stating the "Executive" branch, AFTER Gowdy appointed himself as arbiter of classification, asked for the redaction on PRIVACY grounds, something Cummings himself stated in his letter, does not obviate the fact that Gowdy purposefully altered a document in order to falsely accuse Clinton of wrongdoing.
It is a scandal. Will anyone in the Media care?
why is he still in charge of their inquisition to get Hillary 17 months of wasted money and no proof of anything other than they are on a mission to steal another election and what do we do wait for the next Trump vainglory???? we go from crazed Issa to a real republican who is more into deception than proving the mind farts of Issa.
what is it with these guys the admit to lawlessness and skulduggery they outwardly suppress voter rights lie and mislead and as long as they're republicans it's okay they can even run for president. is it them or really us that aretoo complaceent to act to protect ourselves???? one side is duped and concentrated on the other just don't seem to be that into themselves to care. God Bless and protect us before we totally wreck us!!!!!!
