Trey Gowdy not seeking re-election

quote [ A rising star that many Republicans once considered a dark-horse for speaker of the House, Gowdy announced Wednesday he would not seek reelection or any political office and would instead return to the justice system. Sources close to him say he wants to return home, practice law and maybe teach and write a book with his friend Sen. Tim Scott. ]

2006-2007 all over again - basically cashing out...they have given away the government to their benefactors and are all now sneaking away before the shit hits the fan.

He can write a book about his great Benghazi victory.

Sad. I'm going to miss his duly applied grillings.

The Democrats will find a way to screw this up, even when given this kind of advantage.

I agree, he was one of the few Republicans that had the tenacity to go after them and the rhetorical acumen to make it sting. I was hoping to see him nominated for POTUS in 2024 but I don't blame him for being fed up with it.

Wouldn't count him completely out. He is one of the few decent ones.

He is angling for a judicial appointment.

Notorious HWG.
