Hannity And DiGenova Smear Gowdy After He Demolishes Trump’s Phony ‘Spygate’ Conspiracy Theory

Posted by Ellen -7835.60pc on May 31, 2018 · Flag

Trey Gowdy’s eight years as a loyal Republican foot soldier counted for nothing with Sean Hannity and Trump surrogate Joseph diGenova as the two smeared Gowdy for daring to take the side of the FBI over Donald Trump’s bogus “spygate” attack on the Russia investigation.

Gowdy has spent eight years in Congress as one of its most rabidly partisan Republicans. But in the age of Trump, the GOP has gone too far off the deep end even for Gowdy. He has not only announced his retirement, he has occasionally strayed from party orthodoxy.

Earlier this week, Gowdy defended the FBI – on Fox News no less – against Trump’s baseless claim that he was spied on during the 2016 campaign. “I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got. And that it has nothing to do with Donald Trump," Gowdy said.

Instead of examining Gowdy’s comments, Hannity teamed up with Trump lackey Joseph diGenova to go after him with dubious accusations.

After a monologue in which Hannity sneered at Gowdy, diGenova came on. He was disingenuously introduced as a “former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.”

In fact, diGenova was almost part of Trump’s legal team on the Russia investigation but withdrew because of conflicts. However, according to The Washington Post, Trump planned to work with him on “other legal matters” and wanted diGenova to “serve as a surrogate in television interviews and play the role of attack dog in criticizing the Mueller probe,” .

On that score, Trump’s dream has come true, at least on Fox News.

Hannity’s discussion with diGenova last night was mostly devoted to attacking Attorney General Jeff Sessions. But the two took time out to go after Gowdy.

HANNITY: Shame on Trey Gowdy. 

DIGENOVA: Oh, please, don’t even bring up Trey Gowdy tonight. That idiotic comment that he made last night and this morning about everything was done by the book - this is ludicrous. This was a false narrative created by the FBI and the CIA to plant intelligence overseas with Americans, who were then feeding it back to the United States in emails and phone calls, and the FBI took that information and used it to get a false narrative in front of the FISA courts to get warrants. 

This is disgraceful. I - you know what, when Trey Gowdy was briefed the other day, they did not get to see one single document, how can you possibly say the things that he has said in the last 24 hours without seeing any documents? This is ludicrous. 

I’m not a fan of Gowdy’s but he sits on the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees and he’s the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Besides, how many documents pertaining to the investigation has diGenova seen?

Watch the propaganda effort below, from the May 30, 2018 Hannity.

Scooter, Hannie Pie will wind up a ruined man with a ruined career. He thought all of his private conversations were private. Wrong! Ahahaha!

Pie’s senior life will be bleak. He will be forced to live with family members for the rest of his miserable life.

His chickens have come home to roost.

Anything that Sean Hannity says is a lie. It’s just that simple. He is a fraud, a coward, and a traitor. Hope he ends up in prison with the rest.

Let them eat their own for awhile. Trey Gowdy will deal with Hannie Pie the Welfare King on his own time.

What’s coming down the pipeline very soon will be very embarrassing for the Foxies and Pie.

This old hawk is attending Talkers 2018 next week in New York City. Once again, he will host a cheap breakfast for all of his radio colleagues, and talk about the status of the radio industry.

His colleagues will greet this Long Island street hustler, and tell him how great he is. They have no idea that this cafeteria Catholic’s next appearance maybe inside a federal prison.

We will post about Pie’s appearance at the event.

NOTE TO HANNITY

At Talkers 2019, the topic of discussion will be the rise and fall of a well-known radio and television personality. We can’t wait!

Gowdy fell on his sword when his #Benghazi! hearings laid an egg. I’m glad to see his pending retirement has given him the spine to speak truth to power versus continuing to be the loyal partisan water boy.

I haven’t been watching much TrumpTV lately so I haven’t been keeping up with the latest right-wing crackpot conspiracy theories. Listening to this confusing segment it seems talk radio propagandists have been busy (the source of much of Fox’s ‘news’) and I have a lot of catching up to do.
