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.

Check cotton futures. Then, if you know the family— talk to them— all over S. Carolina- 4 mill is chicken feed in the futures market for a large family concern. 4 mill is chicken feed in large combine trades in futures aside from other agricultural investment they have. Lot of idiots here on FR who have confused views.
The family has considerable business interests. The people of Greenville/Spartanburg, SC do not take a lot of crap— and they like Mr. Gowdy. Something very different than say..the lil’ californication flaming queer Adam Schiff who put Nunes into an ethics complaint to procedurally bollox him up in exposing the chain of evidence of the FISA surveillance story— about which more very soon. Nunes and Gowdy— check that relationship. Nunes is a national hero, and has lots of legal attack dogs/former federal prosecutors to help him. People like Gowdy— who really had to deal with the mormon showbiz boy Chaffetz continually on that committee. Never discount the weasels of the Vegas temple moroni bagmen (of either party).
Why not take a more razor like look at Lindsey “peter puffer” Graham, who is in serious trouble now McCain is dying. He either had to put up or shut up to distance himself— and joined Grassley with a criminal referral.
Well, thanks for your input.
We shall see how things play out.
To what do I owe the honor of being singled out by you?
This is the first time I have commented about Gowdy.
Ryan is the architect of the fantastic new tax law.
He is to be praised
nothing in particular— would have to fill the “To:” column with many others on this thread who repeated silliness about “net worth” predicated on graft and mixed with the naivete of investment potentials and revenue streams that have nothing to do with the very real abuse that is happening.
Example: preferential Congressional IPOs pre-sold- pump and dump new stock issues, where the congress crook sells out at peak post issue, having purchased at expected low ball after price— used as bribery. THAT certainly has to stop— because it is exactly how the small timer in congress make a buck, and get out with lifetime pensions after serving only one term.
What hitlery and bill the grifters for life— stay tuned. And obamaumao’s downline are in it up to their necks. See if he makes a run to his “chalet” paid for the the Qatari’s from the gun-running op to Benghazi (and a large part of the cash cleared for the pallet of Iran deal currency shipped on a USAF C-17 from Geneva to Tehran- fact). Non-extraditable country, Qatar. But our new Saudi friends are getting to people (like Talaweed, hung by his heels)-fewer safe places for him.
Yeah, just because he a world class bullsh*ter and done cr*p doesnt make him a bad guy.
Question: What is even less worthless than a Congressional Committee?
How so, and from whom is he taking the order to step down?
In 2013 he was worth $200k. Now hes worth 4.5 million $$$
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
How much would 200k in the Market then, be worth now ?
Did he or the committee have one criminal referral to the DOJ?
5.56mm
LOL
LOL
+1
wow
The saying all hat and no cattle was never more apt.
or a family member died and he inherited.
Well, there sure has been a lot of inheriting going on in Congress these days!
Gowdy is a clown who would shout at people on TV and then do nothing. Remember Bengazi?
The real scandal was that the CIA was funneling weapons from Libya to terrorists in Syria. But Gowdy and the other GOP clowns in Congress ignored that and focussed on trivial nonsense that was transparently political.
Remember what came out in that documentary about the Gang of Eight amnesty push? Rep. Luis Guttierez told the camera that Gowdy was leading the effort to pass an amnesty bill in the House behind the scenes.
Hopefully this fraud retires.
He’s a good man and he’s part of the reason next week will be so interesting.

Far too many people have now seen the evidence and even the redacted evidence is jaw-dropping in consequence. The BIG UGLY has begun; and the presentations by OIG Michael Horowitz have not yet reached sunlight.
I’m thankful for Trey Gowdy’s ...
Here is everything you need to know about about Gowdy:
“SHARI ROBERTSON:
To Republicans who want to do immigration reform, hes the Democrat they trust. One of those Republicans is Trey Gowdy, ex-prosecutor, Tea Party darling, the Republican Chair of the House Immigration Subcommittee.
Rep. TREY GOWDY (R), South Carolina:
Mr. Chairman, real, sustainable immigration reform has proven elusive to prior Congresses, and theres an emerging consensus within this Congress that the current system is broken, and enforcing the law strikes me as a reasonable place to begin.
Rep. LUIS GUTIÉRREZ:
[to chief of staff] You could leave that there, if you want.
Theres going to be a legalization component, and Gowdy said for those who arrived as children I mean, if you listen to them, theyre obviously talking about other components of a legalization program.
I mean, this is a different place. Theyre not saying, This is all were they went from the party of Were for enforcement only, to Oh, dont worry, were getting around to the other part. In other words, theres good stuff coming.”
Later on:
“Rep. MARIO DÍAZ-BALART:
But you know what? Heres what Im finding. When we go through it, people say, This is pretty good. So now were finally implementing it. The ones that we know are not only with us but that are really with us those guys, I want to see if they can help us, in essence whip it, you know? The ones that help [crosstalk]
CESAR GONZALEZ:
Mulvaney.
Rep. LUIS GUTIÉRREZ:
Is Mulvaney helping you?
Rep. MARIO DÍAZ-BALART:
Its big time. He wants yes!
Rep. LUIS GUTIÉRREZ:
Hes from South Carolina.
Rep. LUIS GUTIÉRREZ:
This son of a bitch has town hall meetings in Spanish. And then when the blanco says, Hey, Congressman, why did you have that meeting? He says, Dont worry about it. I couldnt understand. He says, I wasnt talking to you. [laughs] I wasnt talking to you!
CESAR GONZALEZ:
But the good thing about him is his district is next door to Trey Gowdys.
Rep. LUIS GUTIÉRREZ:
Right.
CESAR GONZALEZ:
Mulvaney is key to getting him because he provides the cover, because Mulvaney is seen as extremely far right.”

Hes also just written a book with his RINO buddy Tim Scott. Both are making the talk show circuit peddling the book. Especially Fox.
