 Tim Scott, Trey Gowdy join President-elect Donald Trump transition team

    By Maya T. Prabhu and Emma Dumain mprabhu@postandcourier.com edumain@postandcourier.com Updated Nov 30, 2016

COLUMBIA — U.S. Sen. Tim Scott and U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy are among a number of people who have been added to President-elect Donald Trump's transition team.

Scott, R-S.C., is one of several vice chairmen named and Gowdy, R-S.C., will serve on the executive committee. Their roles are to provide expertise and insight and make recommendations as Trump fills out his administration.

"It is an honor to join Vice President-elect (Mike) Pence on the Presidential Transition Team, and I look forward to working with the co-chairs to help build an exceptional administration," Scott said. "I will continue to advocate for policies and people that will bring opportunity to every household across the country, and restore hope where it has been lost. I want to thank President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence for the chance to serve."

Could've been worse...he could have asked Issa to join the transition team.

Gowdy's digging and persistency is largely what kept the whole email story alive.  And I think we saw the effect of that on November 8.

He's as a factor but not the reason.

I'd give you that, but being a factor is still a hell of a lot more than some thought would happen.  People kept demanding that he "do something", while ignoring that he had zero legal authority to prosecute.  All he could to was investigate, hold hearings, and hope that the stuff that came out of them would be useful.  It was.
