I wish he would have taken questions from the media.

“You can’t talk to us like that.” MSM

Does the MSM know why it’s the Country’s greatest threat?

Gowdy for president in 2020....
oh heck why not in 2016?

He will get plenty name recognition after Select Committee proceeds this summer.

He is like a bulldog that never lets go, as a good prosecutor always does. But is he for immigration reform?

Anyone know when this presser was held?

It's been a while. I've seen this speech posted as early as December 1, 2013 on another site, so I assume it was made in late November, or on December 1.

Age does not diminish its relevancy. In fact, the longer the Congressman's questions go unanswered, the greater importance they assume.

If Jim Jordan can’t manage his emotions, he shouldn’t be in front of the camera alongside Trey Gowdy. He looked like a buffoon.

It’s too bad that the folks in the background were smirking.

I wouldn't mind playing some poker with them.

But if they are the other republican committee members they are going to have to work on their game faces.

Gowdy for President? No, thanks. I’ve had it with pro-illegal-alien-amnesty Republicans.

Gowdy was excellent!!

Someone posted (comment at link) that as DA for Spartanburg, SC he won 100% of his cases. Not sure if that’s true, but it certainly seems believable after watching this.

I ‘like’ this guy but we all must remember
a young, personable Congressman from SC, who was an absolute ‘pit bull’ during the Clinton Congressional Impeachment hearings.
He was a comer, that made Newt look like a genius for putting him on that committee.
And he was getting a lot of ‘talk’ as being the ‘future of the Party’.

Yes folks, the same LINDSAY GRAHAM, who— once he got elected to the Senate became the Poster Boy (OR GIRL) for GOPe, along with his ‘mentor’ John McCain.

If its true that he never lost a case it means he didn’t charge weak cases or overcharge strong ones. Both are the epitome of what a prosecutor should be.

"Breitbart warned us that this is WAR! This is one FReeper that says BRING IT ! "

Boy, I couldn't agree more! It's long overdue.

And I think we will win people over (which we must do to win elections) with the right tactics, especially by impressions.

The smirking just reminds me of Jay Carney with his little pathetic demeaning sneer. And our dear leader gloating about winning an election. That's terrible. I'd like to see us win votes by taking the high road (think Reagan), not alienate potential voters.

We can be strong while considering how a voter on the fence will perceive us. That's how we'll win people over.

Thx for the info!

I must have missed it before....been watching Trey Gowdy’s career for a while.

He is very good on TV, rare for a Republican.

You can catch him on true crime stuff...from when he was prosecuting.
