Gowdy announced that he will not be seeking any elected office, and that he will be returning to the Justice System.

I’d guess DoJ, FBI, or a judgeship. He seems like a prosecutor by nature, so maybe a judgeship is less likely.

Maybe he’ll be the new Special Counsel, to hound Democrats.

Trey Gowdy can be much more effective as a prosecuting attorney. His gigs in the House have not allowed prosecution. Not a career politician. Good thing.

Should we be worried? I don’t think there will be a Dem landslide...some might be replaced by Dems, but most will be R...

Those who follow Q, Q hinted Gowdy would be stepping down and taking on a trusted role. Those who follow “Your Voice America” co-host Brendan Dilley (@hublife) and his intel source (who reveals more shocking things than Q), the word from Brendan this morning is:

“Don’t worry about Trey Gowdy... his new job will help America FAR greater than his old one.”

People sure like to jump to conclusions. Trey as said for years that he had no intention of staying in Congress long term.

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.

I liked TG... he seems like a smart dude. Would love to see him as a replacement for Sessions.

It could be Trey is just tired of congressional inaction with no end in sight....and just tired of dealing with ineffective leaders, dishonorable RINO Republicans and seamy, nasty Democrats every day.

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.

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

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?

Sucks to see him go. Maybe him and Trump hatched a deal for Gowdy to join the administration.

It’s time for new Conservatives to step in and represent. The days of the Carl Rove RINOS are over. The timing could not be more perfect.
