The article says that Gowdy turned Boehner down.
Today there was an news item that said Gowdy was planning to leave the House. That turned out to be false.
Gowdy’s name is apparently involved in some kind of counter-intel operation to either help him or hurt him.
How do you process that idea in terms of this item about Boehner urging him to run. I can see how it could also be released in order to hurt him.
