Many senior and long-time staffers of the House Oversight Committee plan a walkout when Congressman Trey Gowdy takes the gavel over from Jason Chaffetz. Gowdy, who led the two-year House Benghazi probe, has secured near-unanimous support among members of the House Republican Steering Committee as well as Speaker Paul Ryan. Additionally, Jason Chaffetz has not been seen at work “for three months” and generally only appears when cameras are rolling.

What difference does it make?
Chaffetz and Gowdy are both equally useless and ineffective.

He has some kind of connection to Mrs. Michael Stanley Dukakis. Could that explain his bizarre behavior.

They better know this isn’t a protest they can come back to after their little stunt. They walk, they’re done.

From the article....Many of the staffers leaving have ties to Chaffetz and are in fact fellow alumni of Brigham Young University. ... Many on the Hill refer to the large number of BYU alumni serving in federal government as the “Mormon mafia.”
Interesting.

Only 2 of 90 staffers are Republican? I don’t believe that so I doubt the truth of much of the rest of this.

Gowdy puts on a good show but doesn’t get any results either.
Exactly. Gowdy is a showman; not someone who gets things done if going by his history.
He is good at kabuki theater. All talk no action. It is possible that you are right and Gowdy is a phony. But let me ask you, how can anyone in Gowdy's position "get any results" when the only power he has is to investigate? Gowdy has uncovered plenty of criminal activity, but a Congressional committee cannot indict anybody. Only the Justice Department can "get any results" by bringing criminal charges, and Obama's DOJ has steadfastly refused to act against its own fellow travelers. Now it is up to President Trump and AG Sessions to get results.

Staffers? Fire them! The election is over.
I think most of us are fed up with ‘rat whining.

Gowdy would be a fine Deputy FBI Director once McCabe is run thrice through the woodchipper.
