Gowdy on Calls for 2nd Special Counsel: ‘The FBI Cannot Investigate Itself’
EXCERPT:
GOWDY: "I have to confess to you, I am biased towards law enforcement. The F.B.I. agents I’ve worked with never evidenced this kind of bias or animus towards even a bank robber, much less a presidential candidate. I don’t know what happened with these two particular agents and I don't know why the Bureau would use opposition research in a court filing and they didn’t brother — bother to vet it or investigate it. You can be a fan of the F.B.I. and still be bothered by what they've done and want to understand how and why it happened and that's where I am. I don't have a war against anybody in the F.B.I. I have a ton of friends that are still there, but these are legitimate questions. The F.B.I. cannot investigate itself. Michael Horowitz can do some of it, but not all of it. I think we need a woman or a man with an apolitical law enforcement background to get to the bottom of this so your viewers then can go back to having confidence in institutions of government."
