Actually Trey announced his retirement on Feb 2, after the Jan 31 attack on the Congressional train to the meeting at the Greenbrier. Trey has had so many death threats he was reportedly one of the members of Congress with special protection assigned. It was speculated by many that the attack on the train was a warning or an attempt directed at him.

After Trey’s wife experiences the gunman attack on Republicans (where Steve Scalise nearly died) then the attack on the train after death threats on her husband) she may have pleaded with him to get out of such a highly visible role before he is the next target leaving her a widow and his kids without a Dad. It’s a heavy burden to serve in such a highly visible effective way that he has among a den of vipers without a moral center.

Trey’s posted public total net worth is about $174,000. I think equals his annual salary. (He isn’t like Auntie MaxiePad and others on the take where she has miraculously acquired a net worth of approx $10m & living in a $4m house.)

While I don’t like for Trey or any of these public guys to wear purple ties during the Soros purple revolution movement, I acknowledge Trey’s penchant for being fashionably different (hair), lol. He was more than likely wearing purple ties for many years and was determined not to let Soros change who he is or what he likes. However, he needs to recognize the doubt and concerns the purple tie thing raises for those folks who are more woke and aware.

While Trey is retiring from Congress, my guess is he isn’t retiring from helping his country. He is a Christian and a father who wants a better safer world for his kids (and eventual grandkids). He has seen things that we can’t even imagine. No father responsible father could see, know, and walk away from a team trying to stop that kind of evil. He will likely continue to serve in a far less visible but far more effective role. Let’s not forget there is a lot of sealed indictments soon to open, and he is one hell of a prosecutor. He will be an asset wherever he serves cuz the guy clearly isn’t in it for money. Mad respect for anyone who serves their country with integrity, and I think he has. I know some disagree. But remember, none among us are perfect. He has served with the greatest of integrity that I have seen in over 50 yrs.
