ep. Trey Gowdy will leave Congress at the end of this year.
The South Carolina Republican will leave behind a committee chairmanship he only recently obtained, as well as a controversial legacy and a reliably GOP seat.
What he might have to look forward to is a possible judicial appointment.
Gowdy, from conservative Spartanburg, has for years made it no secret he chafed under Washington’s political mores and social codes, that he actually longed for the rules and practices of the legal world where he made his career for decades.

I've got a buddy that looks like Mick Mulvaney. He's in DC this week and has taken a few photo's with tourists who have mistaken him for Mick.

This did take place at a Visitor Bureau event in DC and if I cared enough, i'd find the segment from ABC News last night. )
He could've been lying...then the picture his colleague took of the people getting their picture taken with him is really an elaborate lie.

Re: Trew Gowdy Not Seeking Re-election
I've liked Trey ever since his prosecutor days. He's a genuinely nice guy, with a steel trap mind. I never thought he would last long in DC. It is way too "gray" for him.

I think all of you can see how "pin head" literally fits Gowdy. How could you have a more pointy head?
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are

Re: Trew Gowdy Not Seeking Re-election
Less fun to chair the Oversight Committee when your party is in charge of the White House and has no sense of ethics or accountability.
Second Oversight Committee chair to announce the end of their political career since Trump took office.
Just pass it to Nunes and be done with it.

Yeah it is definitely easier when it's the opposition party in power and they also have no sense of ethics or accountability.Skjellyfetti wrote:Less fun to chair the Oversight Committee when your party is in charge of the White House and has no sense of ethics or accountability.
