South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy has a prosecutorial demeanor, which is focused on the emerging Obama administration scandals.
Gowdy’s experience of prosecuting an “America’s Most Wanted” suspect before coming to Congress makes him a valuable truth-seeker in the House of Representatives. Now, as a member of the oversight and judiciary committees, he has a front-row seat to ask questions of critical witnesses, as he did in the most recent Benghazi hearing.
Some Democrats blame inadequate congressional funding for diplomatic security for last year’s terrorist attack against America’s consulate in Benghazi, but Gowdy says that’s just not so.

The ‘I wasnt involved or even watching’ POTUS Obama
“Some Democrats blame inadequate congressional funding for diplomatic security”
“Biden: “The congressman here cut embassy security in his budget by $300 million below what we asked for.”
The facts:
According to Democratic House Oversight Committee staff, the amount that the GOP-led House passed for two accounts that pay for embassy security in fiscal 2012 ($2.311 billion) was $330 million less than the Obama administration had requested ($2.641 billion).
A GOP House Appropriations Committee aide confirmed the House bill had less in these accounts than what the administration requested.
However, the final bill, after being worked on by the Democratic-led Senate, put in more money than what had passed in the House. The final bill, which passed with bipartisan support, gave a total of $2.37 billion to these accounts for fiscal 2012 — about $270 million less than what the administration had requested.
Conclusion: The GOP-led House did initially approve about $330 million less than what the administration requested, but in the final bill, passed with bipartisan support after adjustments by the Senate, put the amount a little closer to the administration’s target.”

I seem to recall something about Gowdy wanting to serve only a limited time in Congress.
I think we need to advise him that America needs his leadership and ask him to sacrifice his earlier goals.
The face of evil. The face of one who has sold the soul to evil long ago, and is not rotting from the inside out.
