The definition of a bully: one who whines and runs away when he is subjected to the same outrageous tactics he uses to torment others.

Gowdy, like that notorious Sen. Joe McCarthy, has no decency.

He has persecuted Ms. Clinton for years and now he wants us to pity him!

With a little knowledge of history, he would have known he was throwing a boomerang at the Clintons.

Yep, he’s earned these weeks, he deserves 'em, and here they are.

Time to pull out the world’s smallest violin.

Just wish he could be water-boarded to compel him to state specifically exactly what remains to be determined that was not addressed in the SEVEN previous investigations by various congressional committees and a State Department panel that found that the CIA and the military acted properly in responding to the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound.

Generally Trey, when you behave like a hypocritical prick, you should be subjected to a few bad weeks.

He has run the investigation with all the integrity of a witch hunt, or maybe kangaroo court, his marching orders were announced by his leader, Kevin McCarthy, and his methods and purposes have been confirmed by an insider. There doesn’t need to be an investigation of his investigation. Everybody in America understands what he is doing. Nobody is buying his story. He needs to find another scam.

Rep. Elijah Cummings:

"
Predictably, commentators began repeating your accusations in even more extreme terms, suggesting in headlines for example that “Clinton Burns CIA Libya Contact.”

Contrary to your claims, the CIA yesterday informed both the Republican and Democratic staffs of the Select Committee that they do not consider the information you highlighted in your letter to be classified.  Specifically, the CIA confirmed that “the State Department consulted with the CIA on this production, the CIA reviewed these documents, and the CIA made no redactions to protect classified information.”

Unfortunately, you sent your letter on October 7 without checking first with the CIA.  Now that we have done so, we have learned that your accusations were incorrect.

As a result of your actions, the State Department yesterday asked the Select Committee not to reveal the individual’s name publicly, not for classification reasons, but to protect the individual’s privacy and avoid bringing additional undue attention to this person.

Unfortunately, the standard operating procedure of this Select Committee has become to put out information publicly that is inaccurate and out of context in order to attack Secretary Clinton for political reasons.  These repeated actions bring discredit on this investigation and undermine the integrity of the Select Committee and the House of Representatives."

“It’s not lost on me that the uptick in criticism is [happening] the two weeks before she’s coming,” he said. “I don’t think that that is a coincidence; it’s an attempt to marginalize and impugn the credibility of the panel that’s going to be asking her questions.”

Is it lost on you that the the greatest damage was inflicted by fellow republicans?

Gowdy and Kubek were a great pair.
Cut my baseball-teeth on their broadcasts most Saturday afternoons.

Poor baby!

Of course it is all about smearing clinton, are you even “investigating” benghazi anymore? Now, you are smearing her for her email server. Of which, was not illegal to use at the time.

OH, and you are lying about the findings. When the CIA and/or FBI say the found what you’ve been saying is wrong, you don’t back down. You just keep on smearing.

One more thing, and this is important, had you or Issa’s “committee” for that matter, found anything at all you, he and your media minions would have been shouting it from the rafters.

Don’t you think it’s about time to retire that cupi-doll haircut?

Gowdy… If I were you (perish the thought) I’d get out of politics.
