What difference does it make?
Chaffetz and Gowdy are both equally useless and ineffective.
Gowdy has only been a sub-committee head. Power as full chair is very different. I hope now that he has contempt teeth that he uses them.
“Chaffetz and Gowdy are both equally useless and ineffective.”
Yes, but then there are the other 433 equally useless and ineffective turds to be considered as well.
The system is designed that way. The role these clowns signed up for is to be the "monitor," not the fixer. They have no authority for action beyond monitoring.
Judge them on the quality of their monitoring.
