Gowdy turned on a dime. Either he was shown what they have on him or he was shown what they can create.

Don't forget, he's one of the ones who announced his retirement from Congress earlier this year. The timing means that he's almost certainly got some #MeToo related stuff on him, so he's probably being blackmailed.
