BS

His job as a minority committee member was to collect information and defend the President. He did both

You apparently do not understand American governance. A congressman doe not enforce any laws.

I understand though. You consider your job as a passenger on the anti Gowdy bandwagon is to whine, bitch and moan

LOL. Get your facts right. Gowdy was in the MAJORITY in that period. House GOP had the power. Sadly, they did little but enable Mueller and his police state thuggery. And for that history will damn them.

“Gowdy and Paul Ryan blocked every subpoena that Freedon Caucus members tried to issue in 2017 and 2018”

I know that as the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, he had the position and the power to do far more than what he did. He often talked about issuing subpoenas and so on, but nothing ever came from his endless “investigations” other than some really good sound bytes that accomplished absolutely nothing of consequence.

Feel free to defend that if you will.

“””His job as a minority committee member was to collect information”””


Bert, you need to check the history books. Gowdy was CHAIRMAN in 2017-18.

Gowdy was never in the minority. We didn’t lose the house until he left. The Repubs were the majority when he was on the committee letting the coup go on despite certain knowledge of the lies.

I would like for Gowdy to tell us why he made those mysterious comments to Martha on Fox news long ago - something to the effect of “if you had seen what the FBI had seen you would want them to act just like they did.”

I never understood that statement. Frankly, in hindsight, he was more directly critical of the President’s defense team than the “case against Trump” and we now know he knew that those they interviewed (people who would know) had NOTHING. Nothing.

Gowdy also defended the Special Counsel when he should have known there was no predicate. “No there there.” How could casual observers like us get it right when a guy who saw much more of this crap than we ever did seemed so conflicted and confused about it all?

Did they lie to Gowdy directly? It appears they did. Why no questions about this?

His job was to produce youtube clips that made him look tough while doing absolutely nothing no referral no subpoenas even when in the majority.
