Rep. Trey Gowdy on Monday called Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid a “political hack” after Mr. Reid said FBI Director James B. Comey might be violating federal law by using his post to influence the presidential election.

“I can’t really use the word I want to use because it would get us in trouble with the FCC, yeah, so we’ll just go with political hack,” Mr. Gowdy, South Carolina Republican, said on Fox News.

“It is laughable that Jim Comey committed a violation of the Hatch Act,” said Mr. Gowdy, a member of the House oversight committee.

The people of Nevada will give Harry the beating of his life this Tuesday when they fill “his” seat with Dr Joe Heck.

Comey is a political hack himself. And I'm not sure Gowdy Doody isn't as well.

What does he have to show for all his harrumphing?

If Harry Reid is correct, wouldn’t Harry Reid also be guilty of the same charge by attempting to negate the FBI Director’s statement?

That he was proven correct? It’s not Gowdy’s fault that the “Justice Dept.” is corrupt, the Media is corrupt, and the Republican Congress has incredibly weak leadership.

And it won’t be Gowdy’s fault if the American people stupidly elect Hillary as President either.

I can say it - "Mob lawyer". An attorney controlled by organized crime gangs. So obvious that you have to pretend not to see it - particularly after his (ahem) "exercise equipment" beat him up last year.

To be fair, I thought the same thing but we didn’t know just HOW EVIL the Justice Dept was.

We knew they were bad, but Trey could have stood on his head and people just ignored subpoenas and didnt show up Knowing the Justice dept would do nothing.

Hard to get anything done that way.

That’s being way to kind to Reid, and way to insulting to run-of-the-mill political hacks.
