Gowdy actually was a federal prosecutor, who never lost a case, in 4th district of South Carolina.
Very, very few Federal Prosecutors ever lose a case. They have the full weight and power of the federal government at their disposal and can drive their target to bankruptcy before they ever get to trial. Just ask General Flynn.
I saw Sidney Powell on an interview state that Feds win more 99% of the time and the vast majority of those wins end in guilty pleas. That's a disgrace.
I should have been more specific, but I was posting on my phone earlier. He wasn't a prosecutor while in office. Again, can you imagine how fast we would degenerate into a third-world hell hole if people like Pelosi and Schiff were able to prosecute?
