Gowdy puts on a good show but doesn’t get any results either.
Exactly. Gowdy is a showman; not someone who gets things done if going by his history.
He is good at kabuki theater. All talk no action.

It is possible that you are right and Gowdy is a phony. But let me ask you, how can anyone in Gowdy's position "get any results" when the only power he has is to investigate? Gowdy has uncovered plenty of criminal activity, but a Congressional committee cannot indict anybody. Only the Justice Department can "get any results" by bringing criminal charges, and Obama's DOJ has steadfastly refused to act against its own fellow travelers. Now it is up to President Trump and AG Sessions to get results.

Gowdy would be a fine Deputy FBI Director once McCabe is run thrice through the woodchipper.

Finally some truth and common sense knowledge of how our government works. Thank you. The Gowdy bashers on FR cannot understand that he has no ability to arrest Hillary, Rice, etc. and put them in jail. Without his work in committee, Hillarys private server may still be private. He has done a great job.

Well sated. The congress has no power to enforce any laws that are seen to be broken.

Hearings are sources of information used to develop legislation. Your point about the DOJ must be repeated over and over in order to be
understood by those here who constantly bash the congress as ineffective.

You could very well be right. Maybe the ball is squarely in the DOJ’s court to make the basket or fumble.
