Or Trey Gowdy.
“Or Trey Gowdy.”
probably not.
1) He isn’t running again, so he won’t be around.
2) He’s never brought a major investigation to fruition while in office, in spite of a lot of show-boating and razzle-dazzle.
We want someone who’s effective and not easily intimidated.
Rudy is going to be 74 in a few weeks.
At this stage in his life, he may not wish to take on such an immense responsibility. For one thing, there are too many potential backstabbers in the GOP lying in wait to sabotage or disable any real conservative. The task of weeding out and recultivating a new, better FBI is going to be a dangerous, thankless task for a decade or two, if it ever happens at all.
Trey Gowdy seems to be worn out , frustrated by the constant infighting and inertia. The high point may have been during the Bengazi Hearings. No doubt Trey still gets feedback from republicans who don’t understand the system, and were disappointed that
he wasn’t more aggressive on Hillary Clinton.
If you recall, at the end of that multi-hour interrogation, Hillary (and the press) declared herself ‘Victorious!’
She probably felt ‘victorious’ because she was allowed to walk out of the building without heavy chained wound around her stubby ankles.
