Trey Gowdy proves he is a complete fraud
"Finish it the hell up, because this country is being torn apart."
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) pleaded with Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to bring Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign to a prompt conclusion, citing the purported damage it is doing the country.
“There’s an old saying that justice delayed is justice denied. I think right now all of us are being denied,” Gowdy said. “Whatever you got — finish it the hell up, because this country is being torn apart.”
Gowdy’s comments might be defensible in a vacuum. But when he was chair of the House Benghazi Committee, Gowdy oversaw an investigation of Hillary Clinton that lasted more than two years.
When it finally ended in the summer of 2016, Gowdy told the Washington Post he had no qualms about how long it dragged out because “my job is to report facts.” But Gowdy — who isn’t running for reelection — is now clearly motivated by a desire to protect his party’s president.
In 2016, Gowdy acknowledged his Benghazi investigation didn’t turn up much. From the Post:
Gowdy said there was new information unearthed by the investigation, which he said included interviews with 81 new witnesses and the review of 75,000 additional pages of documents. The most prominent witness was Clinton, who remained calm under a marathon grilling before the committee last October.
On the other hand, Mueller’s investigation — which has been going on about 13 months — has already indicted or secured guilty pleas from 20 people, including former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former Trump administration National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Later during the hearing, Rosenstein — who was appointed to his job by Trump — said he believes Mueller is working “as expeditiously as possible.”
“I don’t think it’s atypical at all. I believe that it’s being done as expeditiously as possible,” he said. “That was one of my goals in appointing someone I knew would be focused on the task, would not be distracted by other matters.”

>"Finish it the hell up, because this country is being torn apart"<
Iran-Conta investigation lasted 2420 days
Whitewater lasted 2978 days.
Trump/Russia investigation 397 days
Unlike the first two listed, the Trump/Russia investigation has yielded multille indictments and guilty pleas.

The country was torn apart
The country was torn apart BEFORE Trump got elected.
The country being torn apart is a big part of WHY Trump got elected.

None having to do with the topic under investigation, but hey, you have to come away with something after spending all that public money I suppose.
And we're supposed to believe that Ron Rosenstein is the good guy here? Please.
6 has it right. Trump is a symptom, not a cause. The sooner you realize that the sooner you can get on with your life.

And how did you become privy to the full scope and relation of all information under investigation?
What makes you believe Rosenstein is not a "good guy"?
Was it the 20th, 100th, or 1000th rhetorical iteration of "Witch Hunt" that finally won you over?
Do you support sedition?

I was attempting levity in another thread in regards to the Russia discussion, but in all sincerity...looking at the big picture, overly simplifying it, unless I'm mistaken the operational theory seems to be that nobody's vote was actually changed, but Russians "influenced" enough people through YouTube videos & social media that they had a mistakenly negative view of Hillary and instead voted for Trump, is that correct?

Flynn was charged with lying to the FBI. Because he is a cooperating witness, he is not being prosecuted for his more serious crimes.
