Trey Gowdy is on a mission.
He’s determined to get to the bottom of one of the biggest scandals in Washington’s history.
And he dropped a bombshell announcement that has one deep state leaker in deep trouble.
The Hillary Clinton email scandal is the investigation that won’t go away.
She skated having to face criminal charges because James Comey allowed her to walk free.
But the truth behind his shocking decision to take the law into his own hands is finally emerging.
Recent reports indicate that Comey had already made up his mind that he wasn’t going to charge Clinton months before the investigation was complete and before Clinton was even interviewed.
In response, Trey Gowdy appeared on Fox News and demanded that Comey testify and explain himself.
He also wondered why Comey testified in June that the Loretta Lynch-Bill Clinton tarmac meeting is what forced him to make his announcement if he had already determined not to charge Hillary.
Fox News reports:
“Following the FBI’s release of documents confirming that former FBI Director James Comey began drafting a letter on the Hillary Clinton email investigation months before completing several interviews, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C. said Comey needs to testify before Congress again.
Gowdy, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee and a member of the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committee, told Fox News’ Bret Baier on “Special Report” Tuesday night that “for a number of reasons” Comey should return to Capitol Hill and the committees needed to further examine the FBI memos before he did.
“Whenever somebody decides to charge someone, there are lots of layers of scrutiny. When you decide not to charge someone, there aren’t that many layers of scrutiny but there ought to be at least a couple,” Gowdy said. “The media should do it but also Congress should look at this decision not to charge and whether or not it was made before you interviewed two dozen witnesses, including the target of the investigation, yeah we need to talk to him again.
According to Gowdy, the timeline of events and some of Comey’s decisions along the way did not appear to add up. He was referring to Comey’s statement during his June congressional testimony in which he said the tarmac meeting between former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton encouraged him to announce his findings in the email investigation.
“His ostensible reason for taking that decision away from the Department of Justice was that meeting on the tarmac but yet a month and a half earlier he is memorializing a decision he’s already made so the chronology does not add up,” Gowdy said. “His answers have been all over the map.”
When Comey initially let Clinton off the hook, a then-candidate Trump tweeted that it proved the system was rigged.
The bombshell that Comey drafted a letter clearing Clinton months before the investigation was complete adds fuel to the fire that the investigation was nothing more than one swamp creature looking out for another at the expense of the rule of law.
Trump reacted to this new development by tweeting out that the investigation was obviously fixed and that Comey needs to explain why his testimony should not be considered a lie.
Wow, FBI confirms report that James Comey drafted letter exonerating Crooked Hillary Clinton long before investigation was complete. Many..

…people not interviewed, including Clinton herself. Comey stated under oath that he didn't do this-obviously a fix? Where is Justice Dept?
