Such tough talk from a guy who has never successfully done anything to anyone.

Yep. I’m impressed with his verbal skewering, but it never graduates to anything more. When we want to give these guys a good scolding, Trey is our guy.

When he was a prosecutor, he was quite effective. He is now a member of Congress and has no executive or judicial authority. What would you have him to do. The last time I checked, President Trump is the head of the executive branch and the Attorney general is Jeff Sessions.

Your point is completely valid. Remember that our Congressional leadership does not always back the members who dare to act boldly. I suspect that if given a go ahead and promise of backing, Gowdy would move much more decisively.

Deal his way to a bit more power. Maybe he could, during a skewering, actually say, “Of course, this won’t come to anything, because [insert real reason here], and let the chips fall where they may.
