My original comment was speculation.

I do know that Nunes’ investigation was held up for several months because of the Ethics Committee investigation of him. I also know that some people on FR have blamed Gowdy for stopping the Benghazi investigation.

It is possible that Nunes and a Gowdy are playing on the same team. Time will tell.

Photos on Pedo Island or ???

Did anyone run for DC office to help the citizens, or is everyone just there for the sex?

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—


He sure knows which side of the bread’s got the butter.

Man, these Reps of ours sure know how to REP for their own individual interests, don’t they?

I like the guy...he gets people to talk...and he nails them.

His other committees are much more important.

@Revel

I have to agree. I myself like Trey quite a lot. But all those hearings produced what? ZERO incitements. ZERO investigations. ZERO fines and prison terms. What’s the frigging point?

Even though I THINK Gowdy performed a service to the American People by his aggressive and passionate questioning, I think you have a point.

Gowdy is a firm member of The Club. Members of The Club never call a spade a spade. They just tap dance around it.............endlessly. There are a lot of lawyers in that Club. This is why we love Trump. He’s not in that Club.

“...but what did he accomplish in 5 years other than talking at people?...”

Something that none of us get to do, ever:

Put them under a spotlight, ridicule the crap out of them, expose them for the corrupt fools they are, and then get it out on YouTube for people who weren’t paying attention.

Shining a light is sometimes all one can hope for, and he sure as Hell got no backing from ol’ weeping Boner or gutless Ryan.

He must be a real good investor on his $174,000 a year salary. /s ........................................ You can’t tell me there isn’t an insiders club walking the halls of Congress. They are the ones who hate and mostly fear Trump and what he may possibly do to end The Congressional Golden Goose Club. Most of our Reps aren’t there to serve the people as much as they are there to serve themselves. Those who represent our $#!thole areas are the worst offenders for sure. Congress critters should be given polygraphs ever couple of years after their 1st term. LOL, you would see how fast they would laywer up before they set foot in the room to take it.

Even to the point of supporting Durbin’s made up lie of Trump’s “language”. SC peeps-— someone strong needs to run against Graham (not until next Sen. election in 2020.. but a “sea change” possible with Trump re-election coat-tails). Start the ball rolling, get this fakir out of office. He faked out Strom Thurmond to get his fag self into permanent weasel land banditry (get some photos of him out with his boyfriends, cause it’s as bad as Barney Frank— and compromised).
