Rep. Trey Gowdy to retire; will return to law career
Trey Gowdy to retire - Washington Times
Jan 31, 2018 · Rep. Trey Gowdy , a rising star among conservative Republicans, said Wednesday he will retire from politics and return to being a lawyer.
Getting out while the getting is good.
He doesn't want to be in Congress as a part of the minority party, and there is a district court judgeship that he wants to be in line for.
If you have been paying attention, which is clear that you have not, Gowdy actually has ALWAYS HATED politics. If you read the article about him in Time, I believe, a couple years ago; you would know this shouldn't be a surprise. He has ALWAYS preferred being in court and I agree that he would best serve the USA as a judge or as Attorney General. Heck, in that Time article, the author made a point of pointing out that Gowdy was an every-man not a political elitist. The author talked about the beat up sedan that Gowdy drove to the meeting at a diner and how Gowdy did not put on airs. And, this was just before the Benghazi investigations had started up, if I remember correctly. So, please, stop acting like you won something, when you haven't won anything as this should have been expected for a long, long time.
The hardcases want promotions, and the fields are ripening. President Trump intends to lock up his hold on the permanent power centers in this country. To say that President Trump is not following a long-term strategy 'book' is too simplistic. Democrats we have to untie the power centers within this party! "WAKE UP!"
4th Circuit Court of Appeals (which includes S.C) had an opening arise yesterday.
He would a home run of a nominee.
How is he qualified for the federal bench? He has no judicial experience. He is more qualified to be a federal DA.
Look at Trumps other appointee's qualifications
Just
saw where Peter Strupk ( whatever) the texting cheating fall guy that the Repubs are all on board with attacking , in some of his other just discovered texts, reveal he is one helping to draft the letter to congress about reopening the investigation into Hillary, imho, costing her the election
what r friends ?
"...and liars
don't wait for me
i'll get on

It is only January '18 and yet Fox News is telling you about 2019 rumors..............?
If fools are foolish enough to consistently be fooled by Fox 'News' into trusting them, it has ABSOLUTELY
no bearing, as to how factual they are, cause the aren't, OFTEN
I think you mean CNN and/or MSNBC.
Believing the lies of Fox News doesn't mean that they are telling you the truth.
Just because you agree with what they are saying doesn't mean what they are telling you is factual. That is a confirmation bias fallacy.
"PunditFact tallied up all of the statements that they evaluated from the three cable news networks and found that 60% of all the statements they examined from Fox News were mostly false or worse."
Conservative Republicans love to have their ears tickled with all the lies on Fox, it's why it gets such high ratings from the old white crowd.
Whatever he does next I hope he's as successful as he was uncovering the malfeasance of Hillary and her server.
Maybe he should focus full time on Benghazi ?!!!!1!!!
That would be great! The right wing nuts played with that phony shiny object for years and found nothing! Of course they going to find nothing with any of their current distraction conspiracy theories either, but at least they'd be familiar with that good old one! I mean I am surprised that they can even keep track of all of the lying bullshit shiny objects Trump and Nunes are throwing out everyday to try to distract from the Mueller investigation or undermine it. With many of them completely contradicting ones they threw out the week or even the day before, but the right wing nuts and FOX addicts believe it just like the changes from The Ministry of Truth, completely ignoring what had been their sacred truth just a few days before. Trying to sew all of the different bullshit into one sensible sounding thing, especially with Trump saying something is the absolute truth one day and then saying it's an absolute lie the next, must be twisting their minds in knots. So far all the have been successful in doing is building an even bigger, smellier and funnier pile of ridiculous bullshit that makes no sense at all when you take a serious look at it. I mean some of their posts on here and the garbage from some of the GOP Congressmen is laughable! It's like watching the Marx Brothers trying to help The Keystone Kops put together a skyscraper with wet spaghetti. These Trump cult members are worse then Scientologists or Jim Jones or David Koresh or (name your favorite lunatic cult leader) followers in their lack of basic commonsense and incredible gullibility and if they weren't so dangerous to America's democracy, the Constitution and our rule of law, they'd just be pathetically laughable.

To be sure, in addition to being a representative democracy, the United States is also a constitutional democracy, in which courts restrain in some measure the democratic will. And the United States is therefore also a constitutional republic. Indeed, the United States might be labeled a constitutional federal representative democracy. But where one word is used, with all the oversimplification that this necessary entails, “democracy” and “republic” both work.

Also I would like to ask that you please no longer accuse me of personally taking illegal street drugs again. Thank you.
Very uncalled for, especially, as you have no proof that Randy does drugs.
Thank you RW.
Probably not president, but most certainly could end up as the new AG, or on the Appeals Court, or maybe even be nominated for the Supreme Court. You ain't heard the last of Mr Gowdy!
