All of a sudden, Trey Gowdy is talking tough again. After claiming the spy that Obama had infiltrate the Trump campaign in 2016 wasn’t a “spy”, Gowdy has suddenly down a 360. Gowdy on Fox News Sunday threatened the DOJ and FBI that if they don’t provide the requested documents by congress, then Gowdy will hit the DOJ and FBI with ‘constitutional weapons.’ Unfortunately, as we’ve learned all too well over the years is the Gowdy is all talk and no action.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy told “Fox News 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.
But Republicans have accused the DOJ and FBI of stonewalling and intentionally impeding their investigation, despite the agencies’ claims that fulfilling the request requires a careful review of the sensitive documents.
Gowdy, R-S.C., said the GOP’s action could involve “the full panoply of constitutional weapons available to the people’s house.”
