Some posters are not going to forget or forgive Gowdy’s recent appearances on corporate media in which he said he believed the FBI acted as we would want them to in going after Trump. (Andy McCarthy said they handled Hillary with kid gloves but had a scorched earth policy WRT Trump.) Gowdy seems to have changed his message now. Who knows.
Gowdy is a total rule of law guy... he’s like Jonathan Turley in that way.
Sometimes that works for us - sometimes not. That said Gowdy is absolutely one of the best defenders of all that is good in our system of laws. Which doesn’t mean he walks on water... but either do many of us.
