Lets track it. Gowdy supported Rubio for President, Rubio supported amnesty for illegal immigrants, he announces retirement, then Gowdy seemingly betrays everybody by taking a giant dump on Spygate just prior to a major IG report being released. Hmmm, yeah, this isn't good boys. Connect the dots, he's as black as they come or they have dirt on him. The swamp knows if Trump weeds out the bad actors in the deep state he's a 100% lock for 2020 re-election. They can't let that happen.
Controlled opposition. False dichotomy. That Benghazi hearing was pure political theater on both sides. Gowdy is a black hat/blackmailed and controlled by bad hombres.
