Your description of this is exactly how we know Gowdy is punting on this. Somebody building a case would get testimony from the little fish. Gowdy’s committee hasn’t and has no plans to even though they knew six months ago.
Not all his interviews is done in public. Committee members have been taking dispositions privately since the beginning Their results will be made public when the time is right or we’d have to keep a task force covering all public parks
I remember how he was bragging that he would bring people in and take depositions so they could not duck questions. Riiiiighttt.
