Trey Gowdy resigns as House Ethics Committee member
Washington examiner ^

Posted on 01/13/2018 7:54:12 PM PST by MNDude

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., is stepping down from his role on the House Ethics Committee, citing a "challenging workload" as the reason for his departure.

Gowdy informed House Speaker Paul Ryan of his decision in a letter on Jan. 10, the details of which were not made public until Saturday. The South Carolina Republican was tapped to lead the House Oversight Committee last June, after the former chairman, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, left Congress for a job at Fox News.

That was a beautifully placed quote. Almost makes me want to say “as you wish” :)

What will clickbait blogs do now? Remember these?

* Eric Holder Says XXXXX... Trey Gowdy Makes Him INSTANTLY Regret It!
* Trey Gowdy Absolutely DESTROYS Lois Lerner's Defense in BRUTAL Backlash
* Trey Gowdy Unleashes a BEATDOWN for the Ages Against (Obama Official)

How many times have you seen this CRAP in your Facebook newsfeed, etc for the past 8 years. ALL UTTER BULLSHIT. Gowdy is a useless, big-talking assclown and Swamp Thing. His role was to make us THINK the House GOP had a spine and was fighting Obama's criminals, when in fact he and Ryan, McCarthy and Rogers LOVED Obama and let him get away with it ALL. GOOD RIDDANCE, moron. Now please just retire.

No big deal. He’s gotta be glad to dump that tar baby. The house ethics committee can only do one thing for either side of the aisle. Stonewall, obfuscate and delay. Members under investigation often go on for a decade or more in their political positions. And then slow walked to retirement or resignation.

He said that 4 committees and a chairmanship is to much to handle.. He is staying on the important committees!

Maybe for his last day of serving on the Ethics Committee, he will release the list of predator congressmen who needed tax dollars to pay off their victims.

Trey Gowdy certainly has been a disappointment. Yes, he did absolutely nothing, other than to have you tube videos making him look like a man of the people.

Bad hair, loud mouth, Daryl Issa from SC. Like most DC swamp critters, all talk, no action.

He should go back to the TV series and convict obvious killers, get paid and go home.
