Trey Gowdy Interrogates Democrat-Invited Law Prof on IRS Scandal
The Blaze ^ | 7-31-2014 | Jason Howerton

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) grilled a University of Baltimore law professor during a Wednesday House hearing and made a compelling case as to why a special counsel is needed to investigate the IRS scandal. At one point, he even offered the professor some “free litigation advice” when he refused to answer one of his questions that seemed pretty straightforward.

Professor Charles Tiefer was brought in by Democrats as an expert to help determine whether the House Judiciary Committee should appoint a special counsel to investigate the IRS scandal. Tiefer, who previously served as solicitor and deputy general counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives, was also recently asked by Democrats to provide a statement on House Speaker John Boehner’s lawsuit against President Obama, which he called an “embarrassing loser.”

Hillary is gonna stroke out just thinking about it.
He will nail her to the wall before she even is issued a supena Let’s see the smarmy wench respond when she is finally in a venue she is not in charge of. Even if she lies thru her teeth, Gowdy will expose her for the corrupt, incompetent fraud she is. At that point all she will have to respond with is her evil hatred for anyone that dare challenge her.

Keep in mind he has access to all her previous testimony. Once he questions others he will expose the lack of action to protect that facility before the attack and her cover up afterwards.

Gowdy gave smuggles THREE chances to answer a simple question about seating a juror. The first time, smuggles might have been uncertain where Gowdy was going with the question, but by the THIRD time, smuggles responded with “Well, it doesn’t sound too good.” Then Gowdy dropped the hammer on him and made him look foolish. But hey, leftists don’t care about looking foolish.

RATS: Gowdy is going to sink your battleship and burn down your house. Better make your exit plans now before your names become household names, amid your subpeonas.

Rep Gowdy is the first person to challenge him on his views in probably 40 years.

You have nailed it here.

That guy showed all the traits of a person who has comfortably sat inside an echo chamber, fighting the straw men he built for decades. When faced with a thinking person, he is at a complete loss on what to do.

“You are not recognized!” he shouted, refusing to yield any time to his colleague.

That was the cherry on top of the sundae.
