House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) told CNN on Wednesday that his committee has launched an investigation into former White House aide Rob Porter following abuse allegations by his ex-wives.

Gowdy confirmed the news in a letter to White House chief of staff John Kelly later Wednesday, stating there is an investigation into “the extent to which any security clearance issued to Porter comported” with “the policies and processes by which interim security clearances are investigated and adjudicated within the Executive Branch.”
Gowdy wrote that his committee “seeks to better understand the criteria and the scope of an investigation for determining whether to issue an interim security clearance generally; who adjudicated his clearance; and what derogatory information was subsequently made available to the White House on Porter, when, and to whom.”

Oh, well, if Gowdy Doody is leading the investigation, then I expect it will be fair and unbiased.

I guess this mean that Porter was Hillary’s fault.
Hm…I wonder how they’ll pin this one on the Steele dossier. It’s like six degrees of separation where Steele is the new Kevin Bacon.
I don’t know precisely what burr climbed up Captain Benghazi’s backside a month or two ago, but I’ve been enjoying his recent streak of semi-seriousness.
But of course the Republicans are going to look into the Rob Porter incident- and will find everything to be hunky-dory pie-in-the-sky wonderfulness,. I’m sure they will even give Trump a military medal for the great way he handled a tough situation. And also a Blue Heart medal for being wounded in the media wars.
