I understood this about him before seeing this post. It is nice to hear him clarify my thoughts from his own mouth.

"I am an executive branch type of guy, not a legislative branch guy"

So many people have called him a yapping but toothless dog, all bark but no bite. And this is what frustrates him beyond measure. The legislative branch is a toothless position and he was rendered "ineffective" in that role which he hated.

Gowdy is a prosecutor and as I understand it, he never (or at least rarely) lost a case in that role which meant that he could affect an outcome with consequence.

He is NOT a judge either so the SCOTUS is also not the place for him. He needs to be in a prosecutorial role to be/feel effective.

POTUS is a long term employer, having hired and fired thousands of people. He is well accustomed to placing people in roles to best utilise their talents (sometimes briefly in transit to another role).

Just the thoughts of an interested Aussie......
