There will likely be more revelations of bias and improper conduct by the Department of Justice, Rep. Trey Gowdy said Thursday, and he wants to know how the department and the FBI will restore Americans' confidence.
"I think there will be other revelations of bias, prejudice, and improper conduct on behalf of the Department of Justice," the South Carolina Republican, who heads the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told Fox News' "America's Newsroom." He spoke before his committee and heard statements by FBI Director Christopher Wray.
"My first question to him is, what will you do to repair not only Congress' trust, but the American people's trust in that blindfolded woman holding a set of scales," Gowdy said.
President Donald Trump has said the FBI's reputation is in tatters, noted show host Bill Hemmer, but Gowdy said he does not agree with that.
"I work with line agents, the line women back in South Carolina and other states," Gowdy said. "Their reputation is not in tatters. They're the kind of people we want working in our Justice Department."
However, the "higher ups have had a really bad two years," he continued. "Right now the American people aren't focused on the great agents in South Carolina. They're focused on [James] Comey and [Andrew] McCabe and now Wray."

Gowdy is all hat, no cattle.
Looks like the Deep State is going to dump a bunch of bad news right before Christmas.
Gowdy is nothing but hot air. Nothing more.
Gowdy is a show pony who puts on a great show.
He is a well camouflaged Cheap Labor Express Republican.
Gowdy is nothing but hot air. Nothing more.
><
That’s for sure.
Oh come on now, he has written many sternly worded letters and sometimes even uses all caps. A real badass.....
They love them some Gowdy over on The_Donald though, I found it inexplicable.
Gowdy can’t “do” much on his own. It takes an entire Congress with some balls to cut funding or basically deal with the problem of a corrupt DoJ.
The toothless tiger roars again.
I have not heard anything from the House leadership in backing up Gowdy. Where is Paul Ryan in all this?
Trey is useless.
Just before Christmas would be the IDEAL time for Trump to start firing people.
I thinks it’s partly due to the fact that most elected republicans don’t care about corruption. He can’t do anything by himself, atleast he asks the questions .
I can see how Gowdy says that individual agents still have a good reputation, and are respected. But the institution as a whole is struggling for respect. And the leadership of the last few years is entirely to blame.
Generally, I like Gowdy but that is a really weak statement. What the Deep State needs now is a large number of public hangings. At the moment, after a few hours of notoriety, there is no punishment.
Oh, yeah? Well, whatta ya gonna do about it?
Seriously. With Gowdy involved, you can guarantee no results.
Seems like you’d have to mandate monthly ethics training for the DOJ.
