Gowdy to Trump attorney: 'If you have an innocent client ... act like it'


Washington (CNN)Outgoing Rep. Trey Gowdy on Sunday bristled at President Donald Trump's attorney John Dowd calling for the Justice Department to end the special counsel probe.

"If you have an innocent client, Mr. Dowd, act like it," the South Carolina Republican said on "Fox News Sunday."

Gowdy, who is chairman of the House Oversight Committee and sits on the Intelligence and Judiciary committees, said he believed Dowd had done the President "a disservice" by releasing a statement saying he prays that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will end the investigation led by former FBI Director Robert Mueller. Gowdy also spent six years as a federal prosecutor before being elected to Congress.

He noted that outside of the question of potential coordination between Trump's associates and Russia to influence the 2016 election, the special counsel probe was focusing on other matters of national concern, namely Russian attempts to interfere in the 2016 election.

"That is supremely important, and it has nothing to do with collusion," Gowdy said.
Asked about comments on the probe from Trump, who Sunday morning was continuing to tweet his frustration, Gowdy offered similar thoughts.

"If the allegation is collusion with the Russians, and there is no evidence of that, and you are innocent of that, act like it," Gowdy said.

He added later in the interview, "If you've done nothing wrong, you should want the investigation to be as fulsome and thorough as possible."[/b]

Yeah, it's a real mystery why Gowdy would make those comments

It's not like Trumps personal lawyer said yesterday that Rosenstein should end the Mueller investigation or that Trump tweeted this morning attacking Mueller

BTW - the investigation was not triggered by lies.  I know Trump and Trumptards like saying that.

Why don't you tell us the lies that you think triggered this investigation

Trump can say his opinion which is different that officially stopping the investigation, or are you saying tweets should become official directives  ?

It is the fake dossier used to lie to the FISA court to obtain illegal surveillance, which I refer to.

I want Trump to keep tweeting.  Just giving himself more rope. 

The FBI was already investigating Carter Page before the dossier became known

Regarding the dossier please tell me what part of it has been proven fake or fraudulent.
