Former Chairmen of the House Oversight Committee Trey Gowdy blasted the mainstream media for their refusal to cover what would be the biggest story of the week. Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith will be pleading guilty to charges stemming from the investigation into FISA court abuse that took place during the 2016 election. This is a huge story but the mainstream media won’t cover it.

From Fox News:

Gowdy, a Fox News contributor, told “Fox & Friends” on Monday that former FBI director James Comey, the Democrats and “the D.C. media belittled us for looking into FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] abuse.”

“They belittled us and low and behold [Justice Department Inspector General] Michael Horowitz finds two dozen instances of misconduct and now we have an indictment and a supposed guilty plea so that’s why they didn’t cover it,” Gowdy continued.

Gowdy made the comments three days after two sources told Fox News Clinesmith will plead guilty to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from U.S. Attorney John Durham’s review of the investigation into links between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.

It is unlikely that the media will cover this, the fact that the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory flopped was embarrassing enough for the big networks. They likely do not see a need to cover stories showing the consequences for rogue actors in the government. This is a big story with major implications, the networks should be covering it, Trey Gowdy is right to be fuming over this one.
