Congressman Trey Gowdy sends stern message to John Dowd

This is another view of Congressman Trey Gowdy ~

South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy received justifiable criticism from me, when he engaged in relentless questioning of Secretary Hillary Clinton, during the bogus Congressional Benghazi hearings. I can't excuse Congressman Gowdy for his over the top drilling of Mrs Clinton during 8 grueling hours of senseless questioning about the Benghazi tragedy. But he is right to criticize Attorney John Dowd.

A FoxNews report: Trey Gowdy to Trump Lawyer John Dowd ~  "WHEN YOU'RE INNOCENT .. ACT LIKE IT"

Gowdy to Dowd: Act like Trump is innocent

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) urged President Donald Trump and his lawyer on Sunday to stop flailing at special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and to let the probe continue unimpeded.

Asserting that “when you are innocent … act like it,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) urged President Donald Trump and his lawyer to allow special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation to continue, Fox News reported.

Gowdy said that the efforts of Trump’s lawyer, John Dowd, to end Mueller’s probe did the president a “disservice” and that the counsel’s team need the “time, independence and resources” to complete the probe.

Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Gowdy said “I think the president’s attorney, frankly, does him a disservice when he says that and when he frames the investigation that way. If you have an innocent client, Mr. Dowd, act like it.”

Gowdy is chairman of the House Oversight committee. He said he hoped the president and Dowd would not try to force an end to the investigation. Trump mentioned Mueller for the first time in a tweet Sunday morning.

“Give Bob Mueller the time, independence and resources to do his job,” Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor, told Fox News. 

“And if you are innocent, act like it. … If you’ve done nothing wrong, you should want the investigation to be as fulsome and thorough as possible.”

Frankly, it's tough for me to give Congressman Trey Gowdy a pass on his horrible grandstanding while he pointlessly questioned Secretary Hillary Clinton about Benhazi. Nevertheless, he is correct to criticize Donald Trump, via the warning to Attorney John Dowd.
