Rep. John Fleming, R-La., said Wednesday morning that Tea Party favorite Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., won't run for a fourth term, and instead plans to retire at the end of the current Congress to return to his home state.
"Trey wants to go back to South Carolina, and God bless him for that," Fleming said on C-SPAN. When asked if that's what Gowdy has told other Republicans, Fleming confirmed it.

Perhaps Ted can put him on the USSC?
He would make a great AG, the antidote to the pervasive disease that Holder inflicted on the DOJ, if we were ever to get a Republican president

Fincherâs petition was signed by a majority of House Democrats and 42 House Republicans, ...”
Can’t say how much ‘good’ he was, but he arrived on the scene with high hopes and even higher expectations. The man more than likely has had enough of the back stabbing, lies and other nefarious actions of his fellow elites. He was liked, still is liked but apparent he is not the man for the job to be done. Will miss his cowlick and the manner in which he combs his hair. Good luck in your future venues, sir.

Must be nice to retire at age 51 with a pension and medical for life.

Sayonara `Top Gun’. Better luck back in the private sector. Thanks for all your hard work.
And, not become AG in a Trump administration?
I was hoping he would run for the Senate. May be he still will.
