My first thought on hearing the news was: “Who would be the absolute worst choice to replace Comey?”
Trey “Witch-Hunter” Gowdy came immediately to mind.
So when I take a look on Twitter, OF COURSE there are people rah-rahing the idea of Gowdy as FBI director. Click if you don’t mind being more than mildly nauseous: https://twitter.com/search?q=Trey%20Gowdy%20fbi%20director&src=tyah
If it weren’t clear that these are obviously seriously(!) intended, I’d have thought that this was a farce. I mean seriously, Gowdy failed to achieve his goal on his last spin out — where did they get “success” out of it?
And to the one Tweeter who claimed “the Dumbocrats are afraid of [Gowdy]”, I can only say, “in your dreams, buddy! We Dumbocrats think the Pinhead is a joke, not a danger.”
No question. The combination of McConnell with Trump is absolutely toxic to what’s left of our democracy. McConnell really is a traitor to this country, in every way,
Sebastian Gorka is polishing his CV at this moment…
I just scared myself. I realized Giuliani is probably on the short list
I can only hope
I prefer not to see “McConnell” and “go down” in the same sentence.
