Except indeed this is how his firm is described:
“Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP is a U.S. law firm and lobby group based in Columbia, South Carolina. In 2018, the American Lawyer ranked the firm as the 87th largest law firm in the nation based on 2017 gross revenue. It is the largest law firm in South Carolina, according to a S.C. Lawyers Weekly Survey.”
Highly unlikely that Mr. Gowdy won’t be trading on his contacts in Congress and at the federal level generally. (And yes, Warren is scum.)
Especially with the now minority party which became the minority party in the usual way - they earned it. Hope it all works out for our good friend Trey. He actually did bugger all and deserves the rich rewards of his service.
