Yesterday, the fiery former United States Congressman Trey Gowdy appeared on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures,” where he discussed the interview with fired FBI director, James Comey and Fox News host Chris Wallace that took place earlier in the day on Fox News.
During his interview, Gowdy told Bartiromo that it’s “too damn late” for Comey to admit he was wrong about FBI abuse of the FISA process. He added that he’s “about two years too late. Instead of “thwarting” and “obstructing” Republicans Congress, Trey Gowdy claimed Comey could have been helping them with their investigation into FISA abuse.
“I think this morning Comey admitted he was wrong. Sometimes, Maria, it’s better late than never, and sometimes it’s just too damn late,” Gowdy told Bartiromo.
The Daily Caller – Comey acknowledged in an interview with Chris Wallace that he was “wrong” to deny in 2018 that the FBI properly followed procedures in applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump aide Carter Page.
The Justice Department inspector general found otherwise in a report released Monday. Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, found “significant inaccuracies” in the FBI’s FISA applications. Investigators withheld exculpatory information regarding Carter Page, and derogatory information about the Steele dossier.
WATCH:
The dossier was “central and essential” to the FBI’s decision to pursue FISA warrants on Page, the report stated.
