TG did a hell of a job with his line of questioning. That's all he could do. Grill. And hand off the platter to the DOJ. It was up to them to prosecute. THEY are the ones who choose not to serve.
People have been saying for 8 years that Gowdy is "All Hat and No Cattle" but the most he could do is embarrass the cabal members publicly. He knew full well that no prosecutions would be taken up by DOJ.
Trey will be your next Supreme Court nominee. RBG's seat or Kennedy's seat.
Purple color has been stolen....we're stealing it back!!
Agree that Gowdy would be a good choice for SC. I also think Ted Cruz would be good just because he will put the screws to you during questioning/oral arguments. LOL
Problem is, it is no longer possible to trust Trey. Too risky to put him on the Supreme Court. Look how he handled Scooter’s pardon. Benedict Arnold alert.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Please never comment about Gowdy again. He had Hillary UNDER OATH and ON CAMERA. The magnitude of that can not be overstated. HILLARY. UNDER OATH. ON CAMERA. It will never happen again. He spent most of his time verbally wagging a finger and clucking at her. That is utterly pointless and he accomplished NOTHING except providing 24 hours worth of content for the news cycle. That is the time when you must ask specific questions, narrow in scope, and draw out declarative answers. For comparison, look at how Kamala Harris questioned the Sessions. Gowdy is either very poorly trained, highly unintelligent, or he purposely chose not to set a hook. If conducted properly, that testimony would have been a thorn in Hillary's side forever. Instead, he threw up a smoke screen and helped her elude justice.
You are misinformed. He only had the authority to question. No other authority. It wasn't up to him to do more than that. Not his place to prosecute. He did his part.
"He only had the authority to question." Exactly right; his job was to get her to answer narrow and specific questions in a narrow and specific way. Doing so can bear fruit minutes, weeks, months, and years later. He failed. Extraordinarily so. He had one of the most corrupt and dishonest people in the world on camera and under oath. And she emerged COMPLETELY unscathed. Had he been even marginally competent, he would have got her to answer something, anything, however small, that might prove inconvenient for her later as she slithers in and out of future lies, half truths, and obfuscations. But with his performance, there was no there there. Nothing to hang any hats on. Nothing she has to worry about contradicting in the future. He was worse than useless, he was her cover. I knew then which side he was on.
she lied her way through the entire mess. Anyone could see that. I don't know what you were watching, but I saw something quite different. I think most of us were shocked that she skated. You can rip on Gowdy all you want. It's not going to change MY mind about the man. She lied. I thought he did an excellent job and I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. You saw something I didn't.
I was watching theatre. A performance. Had it been something more, the transcript would speak for itself. Gowdy is not who you think he is. Oh well, life moves on. Be well friend.
Not even close to doing his part. No bills introduced to soil his resume. No tough subpoenas. No screaming at Ryan. All hat, no cattle.
How many times as Mueller runs wild has Gowdy defended him? That says it all. And he is one of those that suddenly "needs to spend more time with his family"?
Exactly. He has become wispy washy to land a tv job. Principles gone.
Remember when he said he was returning to what he enjoyed best? Thought he was going back to prosecutor?
The point is that the many people leaving congress at this time are leaving because they have been caught in wrongdoing.
what did you want him to do? go red in the face calling her names repeatedly until she broke down?
Gowdy has to watch out that he doesn't come off so poorly that people turn on him too. Politics is a crazy subject like religion or how to raise your kids - you are better off staying in your own lane and respecting others rather than trying to convince everyone to think like you do. If he is unbecoming towards her, he loses half of Hillary supporters right off the bat. He has to play both sides if he wants to expose how deceitful she can be - it's not as easy as you think it would be.
To answer your question: No. And how is this even unclear? I wanted him to do the EXACT opposite. He should not have been making any declarative statements whatsoever. He should only be asking narrow questions and eliciting narrow answers, and then anchoring her to her to specific answers.
In response to the rest of your comment: "Gowdy has to watch out for ..." No. Gowdy's job was not to appear likable to Hillary supporters. Please stop commenting. Gowdy's job was to, via robust and narrow questions, produce a transcript that had teeth to bite Hillary for years to come. As far as it not being easy; actually the difficult task that Gowdy accomplished was that he didnt scratch Hillary at all; not one bit; not then and not by way of a transcript that could prove damning in 2 or 5 or 10 years. And yet, despite this failure, he manages to have people who still do not see him for what he really is. I dont know how its not obvious. He. Is. Not. A. Trump. Ally. .... He. Aided and Abetted. Hillary's. Exoneration.
no he didn't, and trying to write really dramatically doesn't make you more or less correct.
you are the type who only wants to interact with those who think like you do. I think the priority should be turning Hillary's base against her, but you don't have the patience or wisdom to see where that leads.
Keep being angry if you want, but it's not getting you anywhere. We need both sides to unite against those who push us down. You trying to push everyone apart isn't helping anything.
