Would not surprise me if he’s being considered for AG or special prosecutor in Uranium one.

Today I heard on news that 35 HOUSE Reps are NOT running for reelection in 2018, if true that is huge...is deep state leaving Dem opposition a free win? There should be a list, and what Conservative is taking their place?? Have you heard this? It was during a flash about Trey Gowdy leaving. There is deadline to register for primaries, correct?

I don’t post, but someone needs to let this out, if you can find out if true and not fake news....thanks.

Gowdy, during an interview regarding “missing” messages, what could be done. He noted that LAW ENFORCEMENT has more power to get such data than Congress does.

He said that he hoped someone would get them and not have to wait 2 years for Congress to get them.

I wonder just what part of the Justice System he would be going back to. Prosecutor or private lawyer or something else?

No, I had not heard of that many. It does sound strange and fishy. It should come out soon.

15 Dems are also not running and we hold the House by a decent margin. We’ll see.

They were not great conservatives as much as they were business as usual politicians loyal to leadership, supporting the election of folks like Ryan and Boehner before him as Speaker.

That’s the obvious truth about Gowdy’s resignation.

The hidden truth may be there as well.

The “witch hunt” or the “Sexual Inquisition” is underway in all places high and low including the two places I work.

Its relationship to these long term members calling it quits is unclear, but its quite likely there.

I would suspect he may have interest in becoming a judge. He could get appointed as a federal judge, or elected to the Outh Carolina Supreme Court.

Have you seen it on FR....there are many good conservatives on FR, who should get involved and run, if their district is losing a Conservative.
