I've had my doubts about Gowdy after learning of his authored Bill on giving all living Presidents and their families SS protection for life.
Q, per your post early on about what the SS has access to and what all they do, I was thinking that them investigating missing/exploited children, this would give them access to a vast amount of avenues to acquire kids for their devious, satanic acts. And Gowdy gave it to them.
However I also thought that he possibly put agents in their to infiltrate their organizations giving them the intel they need to bring the whole thing down around them.
