Showing Original Post only (View all)Gowdy's Russian Scandal. His Super Pac accepted large sums of money.. [View all]
http://www.bluedotdaily.com/trey-gowdy-resigns-also-may-have-implicated-himself-in-russia-trump-scandal/Trey Gowdy Resigns, Also May Have Implicated Himself in Russia/Trump Scandal Months Ago
In light of Trey Gowdy announcing his resignation from the House Ethics Committee according to a letter he sent to Speaker Paul Ryan earlier this week -, lets take a walk down memory lane for a moment when Trey Gowdy said something that certainly raised eyebrows at the time, but never really got the attention it deserved.
Representative Trey Gowdy (R. SC) faced off with CIA director Brennan about his role in the Trump/Russia scandal, and it did not go well for Gowdy, to say the least. Unfortunately for Gowdy, his connections to Donald Trump go deeper than the general public may realize, which just may help explain his clear bias in the scandal.
Gowdys super PAC accepted large sums of money starting around the time that the House Intelligence Committee began investigating Trump and his campaign for collusion with Russia to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.

Inquisitr points out, How Trey Gowdy knows that Russia contacts campaigns is unclear at this time. Think Progress noted that there are only two possible reasons for Trey to make this claim.
The first being the most obvious explanation that Trey Gowdy is just covering up for Donald Trump.
The other more disturbing possibility is that Russians do contact Republican campaigns. But this is not permitted in a campaign.
Any foreign state contact with an election campaign must be disclosed to the FBI and to the appropriate committees. If it is not, it is presumed that there is something to hide.
Trey Gowdy has inserted himself back into the news cycle with his resignation, so its time this be investigated.

AND for those who read Patribotics:
THIS FROM PATRIBOTICS LINKS THE DETAILS IN CONNECTION TO RUSSIA FUNDING GOWDY'S PAC.
Trey Gowdy Donor PAC Linked to Russias Hack of America
Congressman Trey Gowdy, on the House Intelligence Committee, is funded by PACs which appear also to have funded Russias attack on the United States election.
Mr. Gowdy is a former prosecutor who went out of his way to castigate Hillary Clinton for her email server.
When Jason Chaffetz illegally revealed the letter James Comey had sent to the heads of the House and Senate intelligence committees, removing the classified markings from the portion he tweeted out to the world, Gowdy wrote:
Fiat justitia ruat caelum May Justice be Done though the Heavens fall.
It is in that noble spirit that Patribotics presents this report.
Trey Gowdys main donors are connected directly to Cambridge Analytica, the data company that targeted the US election, washing their Facebook and Twitter targeting with the stolen DNC Vertica database and with state voter rolls that were hacked.
They also appear to be connected to direct funding of Democratic voter suppression and to the Kelhios botnet, which I have reported was both sent from command and control servers operating from Trump hotels, and was paid for by Boris Epshteyn on behalf of both Russia and Trump.

Mr. Gowdys funding also connects the Russian hack and the RICO case on the GOP as a body neatly together.
Gowdys main donors for the last two years include Great America PAC, which paid for online voter contact to various organizations.
These include Media Bridge LLC, World Net Daily and Campaign Solutions..
Media Bridge LLC is, per its website, run by Shane Cory. He also takes responsibility for Renew America PAC on Twitter.
It hosts Liberty News Now dot com, which has in the past been hosted on what is a known Command and Control malware server.
Renew America PAC is ultimately run by the former Republican Senator Alfonse DAmato, who defended Russian hacking of the election and attacked the intelligence community in an article in December..

I believe this Russian money has reached deep into the GOP, disguised in PAC and "charity" donations

Yknow, it seems to me that Gowdy is the perfect Ethics Committee chair for Trump
