There is a time to come and a time to go. This is the right time, for me, to leave politics and return to the justice system. Full statement here →

Gowdy will return to work in the justice system at the end of his term. He previously worked as a federal prosecutor and 7th Circuit Solicitor in the Upstate.

Nice opus.

Looks like there could be a big turnover in both houses and with both political parties.

There is a Trey Gowdy on every used car lot in America that could easily replace him.

I was really hoping that he would actually step down from a government position all together, especially within the judicial system.

Mr. M just told me he heard Limbaugh talking about Gowdy having been at the White House this morning. Something in the works?

He was actually a very effective criminal prosecutor prior to Congress and worked a few high profile cases.

Dunno.  Probably, if he wants it.  He was allegedly on the AG list, but wasn't interested.

Ugh.  I’d like to see this man do something other than selling us all out, but it is the most likely considering his past performances.

He may be positioning himself to become the 'Joe DiGenova' of the Obama/Hillary/FBI/IRS/DOJ/State scandals.   He was a go-to guy with his wife (who represents the FBI 'informant') back during Lewinsky/Clinton.

He could make a fortune as a FOXNEWS consultant.

I’ve been watching FOXNEWS since yesterday after a long hiatus (Even bought a LED TV to watch it so that “FOXNEWS ALERT” doesn’t burn into my OLED screens due to their constant “Alert” screaming.). Stinking Shep is on now saying he’s been seeing a lot about the Fourth Circuit in regards to Gowdy.  Take it for what it’s worth.  It’s Shep.   :shrug:

Gowdy talks a good game. But with all the raw material he had to work with: the Obama administration! one of the most corrupt and lawless in history! his committee couldn’t deliver a thing.

Trump is planning to appoint Gowdey to be the "real" AG, and to get rid of that invisible 'place holder', Sessions.

I did notice he is using 35% more grease. He must be up to something special.

If history is any indication, Gowdy will talk a lot about quitting the House but will never follow through.
