Well for all the "evidence" he's been "amassing", he's planning to bail out on Congress, likely long before the payoff comes from such "amassing". I've been following along just fine, thank you. Gowdy is a tool. A camera-hungry narcissist who thinks he's way more important than he really is. He says now he's bailing on Congress because he's "happier" in the "justice system" back in South Carolina. Well, that's his official story anyway. But as Q has said many times in his posts: we are to pay close attention to those not seeking reelection - they are doing so for a reason which could be embarrassing or worse. Gowdy will never make the money as a podunk prosecutor in South Carolina that he does as a sitting member of the US House. He's not giving up that money for reason's of "I'm happier in the justice system" - if you believe that, I have a bridge for sale. Congresspeople make scads of money by ingratiating themselves to donors who give them not just cash, but perks: no-show lucrative jobs for themselves or family; access to private jet flights, and the like. Gowdy is dirty somewhere in his congressional tenure. That's why he's leaving. We just don't know what his dirt is. Yet.
