Trey Gowdy said the Democrats' impeachment strategy is an acknowledgment they believe President Trump will be reelected in 2020.
A former Republican congressman from South Carolina, Gowdy argued the Democrats instead are angling to take control of the Senate to rein in Trump.
"The impeachment inquiry, investigation, votes, and ultimate refusal to transmit articles are not about removing Trump from office. Rather, it is a tacit acknowledgment he will be reelected in November of 2020. The plan now is to use impeachment to neuter that second term with a Democrat-controlled Senate," Gowdy said in a Fox News opinion piece published Thursday.
Gowdy, who recently confirmed he will not be a member of the legal team representing Trump during his impeachment trial after some confusion late last year, has been heavily critical of the Democrats' impeachment effort and named the GOP senators he believes are being targeted.
"This impeachment exercise is most assuredly about removing someone from office. It's just not about removing Trump from office. It's about removing Cory Gardner, Martha McSally, Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, and Joni Ernst from their Senate offices," he wrote.

They’re delusional. They’re already out of ammo and our side hasn’t even started firing yet.
Their chances of taking the Senate will be zero after the GOP counterstrike.
IDIOT Republicans reelected Tester & gave that other Arizona seat to a Democrat!!!
We better get back that Alabama Senate seat & keep that other Arizona Senate seat!!!!
Mr. “Full of Sound and Fury Signifying Nothing “
music to my ears
I put all this on Ryan. We had 2 years to get a lot done and he and other never Trumpers did nothing but give away the house
"If you have the power to choose your leaders, choose very carefully and with great thought."
The impeachment scam has ALWAYS been about a publicity campaign to trash the Republicucks and President Trump.
The Republicans need to stop cowering in the shadows and work for the conservative voice in America. We’re seeing the liberal-takeover of several key states. I’m feeling like I have no one to fight for the things I believe in.
“IDIOT Republicans reelected Tester ...”
KNOCK IT OFF!
First: NO Republicans ‘reelected’ Tester.
DEMOCRATS did. For a Republican to get elected Democrats have to for him/her.
The Montana history of House and Senate elections has ALWAYS been Democrat.
ALWAYS!
Conrad Burns, in 1994, was the FIRST Republican senator to be reelected in the history of the state. THE FIRST!
We work hard as Republicans but Democrat politicians promise $ for farmers and ranchers and woo the liberals west of the Rockies.
Daines has been a great Senator (taking the Max Baucus seat) in ‘14. WHEN he wins reelection he will be the SECOND R Senator ever to be reelected.
Montana has a heart history of voting for Republican Presidential candidates, but locally it a Dem state...we are making strides.
Are these - Cory Gardner, Martha McSally, Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, and Joni Ernst - legitimately vulnerable come Novemeber??? I am not up on how their potential campaigns are shaping up in the polls just now.
Ernst might be vulnerable to former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, but he doesn’t seem interested in running. Dems’ other potential candidates would likely be wiped out.
Hmmmm.........could be true I guess but how about it the impeachment attempt ends up with the Dems LOSING the House?
Indeed a possible result.........
Let’s pray!
Well I think McSally is in trouble with Mark Kelly leading in the AZ polls but its still early on.
