Hon. Paul D. Ryan, Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Speaker Ryan: Thank you for the privilege of serving for the past 5 years on the House Ethics Committee. While few, if any, members seek this assignment, the collegiality of the members coupled with the seriousness of the jurisdiction have made it an experience I will treasure.
When I became Chairperson of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform I knew I would not be able to keep all other committee assignments to include Judiciary, Intelligence and Ethics. Four committee assignments, including a Chairmanship, is a challenging workload. I was happy to finish out the calendar year and conclude some matters then pending before the Committee. Accordingly, I tender my resignation from the House Ethics Committee pending your designation of a replacement.
Thank you again for this opportunity and thank you to my colleagues on the Committee for their hard work and friendship. Sincerely, Trey Gowdy,
Member of Congress.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the resignation is accepted.
There was no objection.

“Ethics Committee” LOL! UNIPARTY SWAMPCREATURES.
Lol!
All he needed to do is read the Wall Street Journal and invest in cattle futures...it’s easy to turn a $1000 investment into $100000 in no time. Just ask Hillary Clinton!
p
He and Issa. Same, same. They though we were stupid enough to listen to their talk and not see they didn't do the walk.
I think there is some serious pressure being placed on these RINOs by the Administration and they are now realizing President Trump is much smarter than they so they are having to bail out.
Since Congress is exempt from the insider trading laws they can fill their pockets really fast.
And Gowdy was the CHAIRMAN of the Ethics Committee, no less, correct?
Susan W. Brooks is Chairwoman of the Ethics committee
Seriously?
If this is true, someone should be looking into it.
Dang. Do you happen to have a link to Gowdy’s net worth info? Thanks.
Post of the day!
Workload. From his letter:
” . . . Four committee assignments, including a Chairmanship, is a challenging workload. . .”
Sounds like some on this thread think he’s resigning from the House, but he’s just dropping one committee assignment.
Thank you for the clarification! Therefore, this is much less impactful than it otherwise could have been.
Maybe Gowdy realizes the jig’s up and he can no longer cover for the deep state. He’s earned his millions. Who will replace this guy? We need another Nunes.
He’s a congressman, not a prosecutor.
He is on two other committees, one of which, I believe will be very, very busy real soon...the judiciary committee.
He must have invested in cattle futures.
Some here don't appear to know the difference. Gowdy on the DOJ
Just as much as Lynch and her Justice Department followed up on.
