ZitatSouth Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy announced Wednesday he will not be running for re-election and intends to leave politics after this term is over.
The Republican lawmaker, first elected to the 4th District in 2010, chairs the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
“I will not be filing for re-election to Congress nor seeking any other political or elected office; instead I will be returning to the justice system,” Gowdy said in a statement.
Mixed feelings on this. Trey has been a good spokesman for the Republicans and especially for being the chair of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. But what has he really accomplished? Benghazi (another committee) went no where.
Another thing to consider is how many incumbent Republicans are leaving Congress. I find this worrisome.

I only wonder if it was Trey Gowdy or the investigative system that failed. In this case the 'crooks' were allowed/willing to lie and to scheme with so many other corrupt forces [the press and agency heads]. It appears to me that witnesses were able to wage a successful battle against the Committee on Oversight's discovery of the truth.
That raises the question for me, has America reached a dangerous point of degeneration? where lying under oath, destroying records already under subpoenae, both phone and text messages, and the "I don't recall" answer that feigns a poor memory? Are these in fact the best strategy for the criminals? better than pleading the fifth?
What have been the consequences of these actions so far?

AG no. Sessions is bad and their are a lot better people. SESSIONS is their to protect the SWAMP and he is doing a great job at that and why TRUMP keeps him there is a mystery????? Mr 'Show Boat do nothing" GOWDY is not a loss at all. He does nothing except take up time and space on TV. He accomplishes NOTHING similar to ISSA in CA and he is going also. Thank goodness both RINOS are going. Now if only SESSIONS would GO???

Need more to go beside Gowdy. The finding Fathers never intended to be govern by career politicians who do nothing but enrich their own net worth on the taxpayer. Look at the abuse of our politicians and look no further than the recent train wreck of the PUBBIES in DC. Where were they going on a retreat on a little junket, The Greenbrier in WV. If you ever been to the Greenbrier it is $100 for a bagel and coffee in the morning for starters. Retreat my arse, They have 10 minute meeting and off to the golf course, Spa, fishing, horse back riding or finding a local male or female hooker imported from DC for the event. The MARRIOTT in DC not good enough. There are a number of them or if they want to get away how about Charlottesville, Reston, Fredrickburg, Richmond VA and all have exquisite HOTELS for meetings.Their tab for this retreat will be over 300K+ depending on how long they stay and guess who pays for it?
