I have no clue what that first sentence even means.
As for the second sentence, that has zero to do with Gowdy. He's in Congress, not the Justice Department, so he still lacks the authority to bring an indictment. If you're angry about Justice not bringing some indictment, why are you blaming Gowdy?
Read post 9 that is a huge increase in wealth on his salary.
“The hair styles of Trey Gowdy.”
Yikes!! You have a real mean streak. I’d be happy just to have my hair back again!! /s
If, for example, he wants to be Governor of SC he's got a really good shot at it now. As Governor he could actually get something done, too, rather than being the Chair of a "prestigious" committee that has no authority to do anything but takes heat for not doing anything anyway.

Read thread
I liked TG... he seems like a smart dude. Would love to see him as a replacement for Sessions.
OMG..that’s too funny....(hair styles)
I’m thinking Deputy AG (which is about to become vacant), with SCOTUS down the road.
Good point
“Im thinking Deputy AG”
That would put him in charge of Mueller.
I don’t know about SCOTUS but a federal judgeship for sure would be in his future. Perhaps then he could stop talking a good game and actually play one.
Well, we are going to need a special prosecutor soon so...
The Gowdy chirpers are never ending
Rep. Gowdys work with the House Select Committee on Benghazi is what started the downfall of Hillary Clinton and set the stage for the election of President Trump. Gowdy got tagged with the Chair of the committee. It was his investigatory work that turned up and made public the fact that Clinton was using a private server to store her official and classified e-mails instead of the legally mandated State Department server.
Because of this discovery operatives in the FBI, CIA and NSA among others had to CY Hillarys A. Trump was able to rightfully campaign on the issue of two-tiered justice where submariners go to jail and liberal elites get rich. The cover up was almost as bad as the crime. Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page all have been ensnared with the cover-up and has undermined the Mueller investigation.
Speaking of, because of Hillarys weakness the Obama cabal had to concoct the Steele dossier which if IG Horowitz is the investigator that I think he is will provide Gowdy and Jeff Sessions, thats right Sessions, with plenty of ammo to take a big bite out of the swamp. Gowdys work on Benghazi was the opening salvo in making all of this happen. He did his investigation the right way. He had dimotards like Elijah Cummings, the MSM, deep state operatives like Comey and Lynch working against him.
If he had been the director of the FBI I have no doubt that Hillary would be in jail but as a House committee chair he didnt have that constitutional mandate. I am beginning to believe that Gowdy is scaring the bejesus out of folks and that he is why he is being attacked so aggressively. You Gowdy haters need to step back and take a deep breath. He has and folks like Jason Chavetz and others created the conditions to take down the deep state. Cut the man some slack.
Pffft he had a life time seat if he chose.
??? He was the most successful federal prosecutor in the history of the DOJ why wouldnt he use his craft in private practice? He doesnt need a leg up to be successful. Gowdy would be successful at whatever he chooses to do
In the fwiw dept, how many criminal referrals to the DOJ did Trey or his committee forward to the AG?

He'll get a great retirement package and will be able to be with his family more.
Take a look at ex-congressman, Jason Chaffetz, who has a great and well-paying gig at Fox...which, in turn, helps him get well-paid fees for writing articles or as a speaker on the lucrative creamed-chicken circuit.
Trey will get a zillion offers from law enforcement entities and/or private businesses after he retires....if he doesn't have one already.
I will miss him, but I can understand why he wants to get out of the fetid DC Swamp if that's his desire.

HE DOESNT HAVE TO HAVE REFERRALS FOR DOJ TO MIVE FORWARD. You populists are all the same, chirp chirp chirp . Dont blame Gowdy for Sessions ineptness under this admin
