Trey Gowdy Didn’t Even See Documents He Claims Exonerate FBI On Spygate:

In your opinion, the Downer/Clinton connection isn’t relevant.

You don’t actually know whether it’s relevant or not. At minimum, it bares mentioning when his name comes up in an investigation of Hillary Clinton’s opponent.

it shows Downer was a big fan of Clinton

What are the odds Papadopoulos would run into a Clinton fan boy in London?

It could be happenstance but odds are against it, imo.

Now we got Clinton in on it, what would a good right wing conspiracy be without a Clinton somewhere?

Pretty funny, thread starts out with a conservative icon pulling the rug out from beneath the "SpyGate" conspiracy and ends up with a Clinton connection, what a world it is over on the right

the FACTS are Downer directly contacted State instead of going thru 5 eyes.

The evidence for these FACTS, according to the WSJ article you cited (May 31, 2018), is as follows:

<< When Mr. Downer ended his service in the U.K. this April, he sat for an interview with the Australian, a national newspaper ... Mr. Downer said he officially reported the Papadopoulos meeting back to Australia “the following day or a day or two after” ... The story nonchalantly notes that “after a period of time, Australia’s ambassador to the US, Joe Hockey, passed the information on to Washington.”

My reporting indicates otherwise. A diplomatic source tells me Mr. Hockey neither transmitted any information to the FBI nor was approached by the U.S. about the tip. Rather, it was Mr. Downer who at some point decided to convey his information—to the U.S. Embassy in London. >>

So there it is: "A diplomatic source tells me." Instead of reporting the information to the Australian Foreign Office as he claimed, Downer told the US Embassy. It was all part of the plan!


SIGINT isn't the 5 eyes. That's intelligence gathering, not sharing among the principles.

I don't understand the distinction you're making.

"The Five Eyes is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. These countries are parties to the multilateral UKUSA Agreement, a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence."

SIGINT is generalized intelligence gathering. details:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signals_intelligence#SIGINT_versus_MASINT

the 5 Eyes is an agreement for intelligence sharing..you mentioned "raw intelligence".
I'm not 100% sure if that is shared, or only intelligence in report form ( not to be confused with assessments)
 
"Trump allies gang up on Gowdy"

"After years shouldering the House GOP’s weightiest and most politically explosive investigations, he’s drawn the ire of Trump-world. And this time, he’s virtually alone, getting little support from his House colleagues"

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/02/gowdy-trump-spygate-theory-617948

The right just can't handle anyone who challenges their illusionary version of the truth, even if it is one of their own

He deserves to be alone.

It was an irresponsible statement, given the circumstances.

and given the fact the actual starting date of the Trump Counter intelligence probe time line is way off
by what we saw in the latest texts published by John Solomon.

That was incredibly "irresponsible" in terms of providing oversight
