Trey Gowdy Would Like Folks to Please Shut Up

As should surprise none of us, House Select Committee Chair Trey Gowdy would like his colleagues who are not on the committee to please be shutting up about what the committee is for. (And some of the people who have worked with the committee he'd probably like to also shut up.)

I bet he would. When people start talking, sometimes they also start paying attention. For example, it has been alleged that some of the people surrounding former Secretary Clinton are being called for specifically partisan reasons. This issue came up regarding the recent hearing focusing on Clinton's long-time assistant, Huma Abedin. (Gowdy did not attend that day.)

But what's more interesting is that there might be some discrepancies regarding what the Committee is putting out: for example, an allegation that one of Clinton's emails "outed" a CIA resource, turns out to have been true. 

But really, shit happens, right?

I probably won't have much more to say until Clinton is interviewed later this week, but I'm pretty sure he should know by now that a lot of us are going to be watching really closely. And probably won't shut up if we catch anything short of fair play.
