Trey Gowdy is a decent person and a really good litigator. However Gowdy has a blind spot, and it the DOJ. The DOJ is like the girl he lost his virginity to. No matter how crappy she becomes or no matter what she does, he will remain loyal to her. This past week is the first time I can recall in his career that he had anything slightly derogatory in the direction of the DoJ. So for him to take that step what he's seen and can't talk about is scary.aezmvp said:I think Gowdy is afraid of pushing this line too far. Once leaders in Congress start calling these people traitors, which for the record they may be, then we start crossing lines it's hard to back down from.TexAgsAnon said:
For me it's Gowdy's praise of Comey. From what we know today, Comey looks like a traitor. What does Gowdy know to make him think otherwise?
It seems pretty clear that Gowdy thinks of himself as a statesman. And there are a lot of lines that have been crossed. Look at the Scalise/baseball field assassination attempt. That rhetoric, coming from someone like himself will push things further down that road and I think he really wants to avoid that. Just a guess, but a good one I bet.
I think the current turn of events is what made him step down from the ethics committee, I think he's given up on ethics
