These are career law enforcement officers. I\u2019ll tell you this, there are political appointees at DOJ, there are some, but the bulk of the folks who work there transcend administrations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there is a good case presented for indictment or for prosecution by the FBI and that good case is turned down, you and I and the rest of the world will know about it and then the ultimate jury will weigh in in November 2016,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Gowdy called Clinton\u2019s private email system the \u201csmoking gun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re up north of a thousand documents that have been retroactively classified as classified,\u201d he said. \u201cSome of which may have been classified at the time they were received. When you\u2019re dealing with a handful of things sometimes the explanation is X, when you\u2019re up north of a thousand documents \u2013 I can\u2019t even fully get to that point. Because we have talked for so long about this unusual email arrangement she has had with herself. We have a tendency to just gloss over the fact that for two years none of her emails were in the public domain, so whether it is classified or not classified, this transparent administration that wants everybody to know everything did nothing for two years for us to find out what happened at the State Department. People want a smoking gun; I think her email arrangement is your smoking gun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/andrewkaczynski\/trey-gowdy-clintons-email-arrangement-is-a-smoking-gun?utm_term=.aaOYqRyGp#.yhLav0rAd\">Trey Gowdy: Clinton&#8217;s Email Arrangement Is &#8220;A Smoking Gun&#8221; &#8211; BuzzFeed News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45513\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
