They’re going to whine no matter what. It’s the nature of the beast.

But unless there is a decisive GOP majority on the committee, it will get so bogged down in Dem whining that no progress will be made whatsoever.

I think you're right for the most part. But, I have a feeling that if they allow some balance Gowdy will be able to bring some dems to their responsible (if I can use that word with dems) senses.

I recently saw a forensic murder documentary about a crime committed in the late 90s and the lead prosecutor was Trey Gowdy. The interviews with him were almost 20 years old but it was easy to see the rigid understanding of the law and persuasive talents he has always had.
