Conservatives, your boy announces he won’t run for re-election and is leaving politics.

[Diamond Jim]

Interesting. Gowdy said just last week he told fellow republicans to leave Mueller the hell alone.

 

[syct23]

Well Gowdy, it's about time...

 

[Teppodama]

hmmm.....Gowdy for Scotus.

 

[Ophydian]

Trey Gowdy next head of the FBI or AG?

 

[Teppodama]

AG might be interesting

 

[kpt018]

That's a blow to party if he's truly leaving politics. He's thought of as an all star on the right.

 

[Joe]

thats the 34th republican to resign or retire

 

[uptheirons!]

Good riddance.

He really is one of the few left that is tolerable.

That's probably why he can't tolerate it anymore.

We may never know the truth, but many of these guys loath where the party has gone. I'd bet he can't stand the idea of Trump attacking the FBI, Mueller, etc. and the party is going along with it. Gowdy is a stickler for the law!

 

[KantoTerror]

AG seems like it.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

can he start getting a taper/fade for the back of his neck/haircut?

even if he is expertly grilling someone (if that's how you interpret it), i can never get past that

you're a grown man, stop the child haircut

A stickler who ran a sham commission/political witch-hunt.

There are much worse people in politics than Trey Gowdy.

 

[tonni]

Who will get to the bottom of Benghazi now?

I agree and he's certainly not on my favorites list, but he's very highly thought of by conservatives. And maybe that's why he's leaving. He did indicate that he likes the law more than politics and the witch hunts were all about politics.

His daddy raised that boy right.

He lead the fucking witch hunt so I'm pretty sure he's comfortable with politics. And from seeing him on an episode of Forensic Files he apparently likes the camera too.

 

[hillelslovak87]

hmmm.....Gowdy for barber chair.

Fixed

Comfortable? Of course. Enjoys it? No idea. I'm just going by what he said in his letter.

And dude, trust me, I'm not defending the Benghazi shit (I posted a bunch about it in these threads).
