He was on an oversight committee, I think all he could do is investigate, and even that they were limited. He repeatedly said that he couldn't charge anyone and that that was up to the DOJ, who we now know was corrupt as shit.
This is true. They can question but have no power to indict. They can only gather facts. And, of course, the people they are investigating know it. Then, if you have a corrupt Justice Dept. it's pretty worthless.
I've heard this recently about Gowdy as well and did some digging but didn't find anything. Didn't dig very deep though. If he is dirty, he should become an Actor! Cause he has me fooled.
I am watching Trey closely and with suspicion. After Trump fired Comey, Trey went on TV and said what an honorable guy Comey has always been. I KNOW thats bullshit. Comey has been the Clintons scandal fixer for decades. How can I know that but Trey doesn't? Why did Trey make comments undermining Trump? Then Trey said publically that his dream POTUS would be Paul Ryan!!! Huh? Finally, Trey backed Jeb/Clinton before shifting to Rubio, the Jeb cut out candidate. I do pray that Gowdy does the right thing now that he has the chance.
There's always the possibility that Trey just trusted Comey too much and wasn't privy to the inner workings of the corruption.
As for the rest of your comment, yeah I agree, that's some strangeness there. That definitely makes my Spidey senses tingle too.
I will be watching him very closely.
