On Twitter, the former congressman from South Carolina is telling his Republican counterparts to correct the record about James Comey’s June 8 testimony, and to get moving on investigation regarding Donald Trump.
That statement was quickly over-generalized throughout social media, however, with Trump supporters claiming Comey stated there’s no FBI investigation of any kind.
And that’s not true, Inglis was quick to point out that afternoon.
Defenders @GOP beware: Comey only said Trump not under investigation re Russian prostitutes dossier. Election-meddling investigation ongoing

Comey is right: This is about America. Rs need to be ready to put country above party. Did so with Nixon. Need to do so now. #comeyday

That’s not correct, Inglis pointed out in a tweet directly to Ryan.
.@SpeakerRyan you know this isn't true. You know that you would be inquiring into impeachment if this were a D. https://t.co/mBFn4aCGi4

.@SpeakerRyan, no, it isn't time to draft Articles of Impeachment. But it is time to pursue the Russia investigation with vigor.

“Don’t obstruct justice. Put country first.”
.@SpeakerRyan and if the investigation leads to the Pres., his family or his campaign, so be it. Don't obstruct justice. Put country first.

Gowdy is best known for chairing the House committee investigation against Hillary Clinton regarding Benghazi. Gowdy’s efforts were pointless, and thus (appropriately) fruitless.
