Trey Gowdy in Trump impeachment


On Principles & Values: 2016: Russia wanted Hillary loss; that's same as Trump win

A top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee distanced himself from one of the panel's most explosive findings in its Russia investigation--that the FBI, CIA and NSA overplayed their hand when they declared Russia preferred a Donald Trump victory in the 2016 election.

Rep. Trey Gowdy said that the evidence gathered by the committee clearly showed Russia's disdain for Trump's rival, Hillary Clinton, and was "motivated in whole or in part by a desire to harm her candidacy or undermine her Presidency had she prevailed."

Gowdy believes there's no difference between opposing Clinton and backing Trump in what had become, effectively, a two-person race, said a source, adding that Gowdy "disagrees with the conclusion" that the intelligence agencies got it wrong.

"He believes the debate over whether desiring a negative outcome for Clinton necessarily meant Russia had a preference for candidate Trump is a distinction that doesn't make a difference," the source said.
