"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Rep. Trey Gowdy, a longtime Trump supporter, was briefed last week by the Justice Department and FBI.

WASHINGTON — There is no evidence that the FBI planted a "spy" on President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, a senior House Republican said Wednesday, directly contradicting Trump's repeated insistence that the agency inserted a "spy for political reasons and to help Crooked Hillary win."
Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House Oversight Committee and a longtime Trump supporter, was briefed last week by the Justice Department and FBI following reports that investigators relied on a U.S. government informant in its investigation into Russian election meddling.
"I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got and that it has nothing to do with Donald Trump," Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican, told Fox News on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Gowdy said he had "never heard the term 'spy' used" and did not see evidence of that.
TODAY'S SPONSOR:
"Informants are used all day, every day by law enforcement," he told "CBS This Morning."
Trump has zeroed in on, and at times embellished, reports on the informant, calling it "spygate" and tweeting that it was "starting to look like one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history." Trump has also rejected assertions by the U.S. intelligence agencies that the Russian government was trying to help him beat his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.
Trump's legal team has asked to review classified information about the origins of the FBI investigation to prepare the president for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller, who is now leading the investigation into ties between Trump's campaign and Russia.
"The folks who have seen the information have the same perspective," Gowdy said. "The folks who have not seen the information, I don't know what informs their perspective."
Gowdy, did, however, express support for Trump's "frustration" with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who recused himself in May 2017 from the Russia probe based on possible conflict of interest. The recusal of Sessions, an early backer of Trump's presidential bid, followed the revelation that he had two previously undisclosed interactions during the 2016 campaign with the Russian ambassador.
Gowdy told CBS that Trump is just "expressing frustration that Attorney General Sessions should have shared these reasons for recusal before he took the job. Not afterward."
Trump tweeted out Gowdy's comments on Sessions, including his saying that "there are lots of really good lawyers in the country" and that the president "could have picked someone else" for the top Justice Department job.
"And I wish I did!" Trump wrote.
Trump did not reference Gowdy's comments that there was no evidence of the FBI planting a spy on his campaign
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
So Cohen's attorney says they will finish reviewing the seized material by mid-July.
Kimba Wood (officiator at George Soros' wedding it needs to be disclosed) tells him it will have to be mid-June or else she will give the job back to the FBI's taint team. Seems like she has experience dealing with these delay of game tactics.
Btw special master Barbara Jones officiated at Obama mentor Saul Alinsky's wedding. She's also a Clinton appointee. The whole thing seems rigged to me.
"It’s important for the court to balance the slow deliberate needs of those asserting attorney-client privilege with the need for an investigation to go forward." Her order: finish by June 15 or else it goes to the taint team.

Oooo, Kimba also slapping down Avenatti a little. Tells him he has to curb the media tour if he wants to be able to intervene in the document review to represent his client's interests. Doesn't want his media tour to jeopardize Cohen's right to a fair trial. Why would she care about such a thing? And isn't it premature to assume Cohen is going on trial?
"I say publicity tour not in a derogatory sense. You’re entitled to publicity, I can’t stop you. Unless you’re participating in a matter before me."

One of the U.S. attorneys tells Wood they are putting back together documents recovered from Cohen's shredding machine. Unfair!
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Gotta take that recycling out.
Micro-cut is where it’s at.
The 'evidence' just gets more flimsy by the day.

Lets remember that the PAPA angle is the TRUE reason why the investigation was opened up after the Dossier was the reason.
