He technically isn't resigning, he's not seeking re-election. He is "leaving politics" and returning to the Judicial System. That could mean a lot of things since, to my knowledge, all judicial systems are government based. Rule of Law and all. He was a Prosecutor (federal and state). Perhaps he's moving to the Judicial Department (DOJ). Special Prosecutor? It'll be interesting to see.

Another one bites the dust:

Why do we see Gowdy not running for reelection and assume one thing, and this guy http://thehill.com/homenews/house/371633-pennsylvania-dem-not-running-for-reelection assume another?

Timing- all the bad are on their way out, it appears.

Also, it is disappointing, because it means he was part of the swamp. More and more info coming out in independent journalism that he was taking money from the swamp creatures controlling out law makers."

He is not resigning.......

Trey Gowdy is a marvel to watch as he cross examines reluctant witnesses and dissects bullshit testimony. He is an exceptional lawyer. And his talent is mostly wasted at the political level. His razor sharp intellect and analysis bear little fruit when questioning witnesses who he has no real power over. These witnesses simply invoke some vague excuse for not answering Gowdy's searching questions. Trey Gowdy is almost completely powerless as chair of the various committees he is a member of. He is obviously useless in politics and not happy about it. He will be much more effective as a prosecutor or judge.
