Trey Gowdy told Chris Wallace on Sunday that House Speaker Paul Ryan led a meeting Friday night with senior members of the DOJ and FBI, and made it clear that “there’s going to be action on the floor of the House this week if FBI and DOJ do not comply with our subpoena request.”
The House Judiciary Committee has requested more than a million documents from the FBI and DOJ relating to the Hillary Clinton email probe, the firing of former top FBI official Andrew McCabe, and reported surveillance of a Trump aide during the 2016 presidential election.
Gowdy said the GOP’s action could involve “the full panoply of constitutional weapons available to the people’s house.”
“Under the heading of minor miracles, you had members of the House working on a Friday night,” Gowdy said. “Paul Ryan led this meeting. You had [House Intelligence Committee Chair] Devin Nunes, [House Judiciary Committee Chair] Bob Goodlatte, myself and everyone you can think of from the FBI and the DOJ, and we went item by item on both of those outstanding subpoenas.” (Video Below)
Gowdy continued, “Paul made it very clear; there’s going to be action on the floor of the House this week if the FBI and DOJ do not comply with our subpoena request. So [Deputy Attorney General] Rod Rosenstein, [FBI Director] Chris Wray you were in the meeting, you understood him just as clearly as I did. We’re going to get compliance or the House of Representatives is going to use its full arsenal of constitutional weapons to gain compliance.”
Rosenstein himself threatened to “subpoena” emails, phone records, and other documents from lawmakers and staff on a Republican-led House committee during a tense meeting earlier this year.
Gowdy told Wallace that “the full panoply of constitutional weapons available to the people’s house” are on the table, including contempt of Congress. (Video Below)
“I don’t want the drama; I want the documents,” Gowdy declared.
In a statement last week, Gowdy said he was “alarmed, angered, and deeply disappointed” at the revelations in the DOJ IG Report that analyzed federal investigators conduct during the Hillary Clinton email probe.
The Inpector General’s report revealed new texts from senior FBI officials who investigated both Clinton and the Trump campaign, including one in which the No. 2 investigator on the Clinton probe, Peter Strzok, vowed to “stop” Trump from becoming president.
Gowdy reiterated that the IG report was deeply concerning.
“I don’t know what [Special Counsel Robert] Mueller has,” he said. “I do know this: that bias is so pervasive and everyone who has ever stood in front of a jury and had to explain it in a way will tell you it is the most miserable feeling in the world and I’ve never seen this level of bias.”

In addition to slamming the FBI and DOJ, Gowdy laid waste into Adam Schiff and James Comey.
He said, “The only person in the universe who claims to have evidence of collusion is Adam Schiff, and unlike any other secret he’s ever had, he’s actually kept this one.”
