Gowdy is protecting someone or people, including, perhaps himself. Don’t be surprised to find out that Obama informed a “select” number of GOP Congress critters about the spying operation once underway. This is an Obama “insurance” policy, so later he could say, if necessary, “hey, everything was according to the book and I informed members of the opposition party”. Either Gowdy was one of those informed or one of his good buddies (Senator Graham?) and he can’t now pretend outrage, as he knows the truth of “who knew what” will eventually spill out. Of course when it does he will say he was not truthfully informed about what was going on, which may well be the truth.
Interesting guesses. They seem more probable than “He’s being blackmailed!”
I am thinking that is the reason behind a lot of the Republican retirements.
All that's well and good but I think they forgot that they're dealing with a guy who can build skyscrapers. Trump's playing his cards right so far and is running rings around these fools. The public is more and more behind him every day.
This president may just turn out to be the left's fitting end.
