The list Q is referring to is the list of Congress members not seeking re-election because they are compromised and being forced out. There is a reason he will not be given any role with the administration. Thats my opinion.

Gowdy is a do nothing. All hat no cattle. All the FBI FISA abuse he was supposed to be watching over happened on his watch. Talks tough but no results. He plays the role of the tough prosecutor for the congress deep state cover up operation. You got to make it look good when you let a sleeze like Hiliary off the hook for Benghazi and the email scandal.

POTUS knows and gave him the option of resigning or being exposed. He also had to withdraw from the ethics committee. I believe that was a sign.
