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.

Yes— Gowdy’s resignation is connected to what happened to Nunes.

How so, and from whom is he taking the order to step down?

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.

Here is everything you need to know about about Gowdy:

“SHARI ROBERTSON:
To Republicans who want to do immigration reform, he’s 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 there’s 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.

There’s going to be a legalization component, and Gowdy said for those who arrived as children— I mean, if you listen to them, they’re obviously talking about other components of a legalization program.

I mean, this is a different place. They’re not saying, “This is all we’re”— they went from the party of “We’re for enforcement only,” to “Oh, don’t worry, we’re getting around to the other part.” In other words, there’s good stuff coming.”

Later on:

“Rep. MARIO DÍAZ-BALART:
But you know what? Here’s what I’m finding. When we go through it, people say, “This is pretty good.” So now we’re 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:
It’s big time. He wants yes!

Rep. LUIS GUTIÉRREZ:
He’s 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, “Don’t worry about it.” I couldn’t understand. He says, “I wasn’t talking to you.” [laughs] I wasn’t talking to you!

CESAR GONZALEZ:
But the good thing about him is his district is next door to Trey Gowdy’s.

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.”

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