Kudos to Gowdy for his unrelenting hearings trying to nail Hellery on Benghazi, but after she lied to him and the Committee, he did nothing.


I respectfully disagree. Gowdy, more than any other person, created a record of statements by Comey. Comey would not have been on record for the most damaging statements without the questions by Gowdy. Those statements, that he obtained under oath, were the most effective evidence of what occurred.

With that said, I have low expectations for congressional hearings because they never amount to much, but as a statement of record, there was nobody even close to Gowdy in the importance of answers obtained.

" I have low expectations for congressional hearings because they never amount to much,..."

Thanks for making my point. IIRC, Congress has the power to hold witnesses in "contempt" and has a Sergent-At-Arms who can arrest and detain such persons. It never happens because the career politicians realize if they lost their majority power they could be on the receiving end.

Yes, I know that some have been held in Contempt of Congress which amounted to no penalization (think Hellary's proven lies). Congress is an empty shell of what it once was. Maybe under Trump's influence they will find their balls. Doubt it.
