Former U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy is not a fan of splashy, big-name congressional hearings — including, in hindsight, his own.
The former S.C. congressman labeled his Benghazi panel’s questioning of Hillary Clinton an “unmitigated failure” Monday on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” where Gowdy is a contributor.
Gowdy said he was unimpressed with last week’s high-profile testimony by former Trump attorney Michael Cohen to a U.S. House panel.

Gowdy has been an “unmitigated failure” in obtaining any Justice.
Trey Gowdy is a preening, perfumed prince.
I saw a little bit of his questioning Hillary, and when he had her on the ropes, he changed topics and let her slide.
Well, “Forensic Files” has a script, and Trey is used to following a script, so....
Not a fan?
How many committee hearings was he a part of during his tenure? Nearly every time he showed up on any of the news talks, he was on some committee investigating something or other.
The problem was that hardly any committees have been much more than beauty pageants. Hardly anyone ever went to prison.
He can’t make our worthless justice department do anything.
All bluster no balls. Most overrated GOP politician
He sabotaged the Benghazi investigation. The 6th Fleet patrols the eastern Med and monitored the frantic calls for help from the besieged Americans. Any Commander would have turned his ships at flank speed toward Benghazi and organized any Seals or Marines on board as an away team as soon as they were in helicopter range. That Commander was ordered to stand down. Gowdy knew to obtain justice for those brave Americans and for the sake of history he was obligated to question the Navy brass why that away team was not launched and who gave the order to stand down. Trey Gowdy will be remembered always as a failure.
It’s the system. These committees have no power. Congress has to complain to the FBI.
I used to support Trey.
He wouldn’t recognize an ongoing
coup-de-tat or blatant treason activity against USConstitution, if it rose up and smacked him in the face.
Sound asleep or part of the dark state masquerade.
Could a Congressman order someone arrested, tried, convicted and jailed?
I thought that had to be a Justice Department job along with a Federal Court.
For many years, that was NEVER going to be something the Obama Justus Dept was going to do.
And in the Trump administration, Justus was run by the Swamp Dwellers and my ex-Alabama Senator, Jeff Sessions, who was a worthless and recused AG.
It’s all Kabuki theatre, I know, but we put too much faith in a powerless Congress.
Tell me something I didn’t know, Show Pony.
He sure as hell should know.
I suppose it is hypothetically preferable that he admit it than not.
At least he is honest enough to admit how badly he failed and how little of nothing he delivered.
I would hate to have done all that and have noting to show for it at all.
Kabuki Theater.
I’m reading all this and thinking...Gowdy had a pretty nice gig on Forensic Files. How likely is it that the producers of that show contacted him with some “suggestions” like, “Trey, we don’t want to be connected with anyone who would take down Hillary Clinton, if you know what we mean.”
That might explain the about face he showed in his demeanor.
The Change was QUITE REMARKABLE. After all, Forensic Files was a pretty sweet gig.
He was the chihuahua behind the closed door. Sounds like a badass, until you open the door and step on its head. All these republicans are utterly worthless. VOTE THE BUMS OUT.....ALL OF THEM!,,,,
But they’re great for virtue-signalling, grandstanding, and avoiding doing real work! Moar hereings!
