What is the deal with Gowdy’s resignation?
His change of sides?

That’s a puzzle. He said he wanted to go back to the Justice system. He had resigned from the Ethics committee around that time too.
He made a remark about wanting to be where it wasn’t all about winning or some such. It made me wonder if something the ethics committee did or failed to do had disturbed him.
Other than that I have no clue other than Q’s cryptic remark about what role he might play later. It was stated somewhere that he turned down the offer to become a judge.
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.
