Gowdy is a prosecutor but in his present position has no legal means of prosecuting. We can all empathize with his frustration (my anger) at the lies of the dems and the apathy of the RINOs.

The importance of "Goodlatte & Gowdy [important]" is this:

Gowdy, Goodlatte call for special prosecutor to investigate FBI's use of FISA warrants

excerpt:

Republican Reps. Bob Goodlatte and Trey Gowdy are calling on Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to appoint a special counsel to review decisions made by the FBI over the past two years when the Bureau was obtaining surveillance warrants to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The request for an investigation appears to stem from allegations outlined in the memo authored by Rep. Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, earlier this year. The memo alleged that the FBI relied on information from a dossier written by former British spy Christopher Steele and paid for by Democratic groups when they sought a warrant to monitor Carter Page, one of Trump's foreign policy advisors, under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

He and Gowdy insisted that only a special counsel has the necessary authority to conduct a full investigation, including the power to issue subpoenas, convene grand juries, and prosecute criminal acts.

Some people think Gowdy can prosecute from the dais in 5 minute increments, then grab a set of handcuffs and put people in jail. That is not his current job. He’s good, but people think he has more power than he can exercise. If he moved over to DoJ, bring it on! Giddy-up!
