Gowdy did his job to perfection under the constitution. In fact so well a JR. Undergrad law student could have gotten a conviction. His job is to investigate and question and nothing more, nada, zilch. He brought to light in those hearings, and nightly in front of the cameras to the public he serves those crimes. In the hopes a public that was paying attention would apply pressure to its government and to the DOJ to bring charges. And who was the DOJ owned by at that time? Yup prosecution wasnt going to happen.
In fact he brought so much forward in those hearings sleepy Jeffy could use what the whole world witnessed to bring forward a prosecution. Gowdy is not Judge Dredd where he calls forward a grand jury, indicts, tries, renders verdict, sentences, cuffs prisoner, transports, locks her up, monitors sentence. I know some here have this magical fantasy that his job is just that and then trash him when he does not do his job to perfection. However he did his job exceptionally well. It is up to Trumps DOJ at this point as to whether this goes any further; not Gowdy
