I got hammered earlier but there is NO reason Gowdy cannot be a patriot AND be comped. Q said he was a patriot, that's all. Never said trust Gowdy.
If he was comped with pedo shit, then he would do most anything for that NOT to be made public.
Personally I think nearly all of congress is comped, bought off or both. We know DOJ/FBI are comped at upper levels and lower likely. We know many judges comped or bought off or just socialists. So all 3 branches of .gov are comped in one way or another, but methinks congress is willingly comped and shielding each other.
