If the Dems get control back in 2018, they need to not make the mistake of last time, and investigate and prosecute the hell out all these criminals.

I thought Gowdy was retiring in 2018. I didn’t just dream that up, did I?

"In a statement, Chaffetz said chairing the committee had been the “privilege of a lifetime” and said Gowdy “has a long history of demanding accountability, upholding transparency, and relentlessly pursuing the truth.”

OMG, excuse me while I puke. This description of the lying, greasy, manipulative piece of crap that is Gowdy is just sickening.

There’s more grease oozing out of him than the Dakota Pipeline.

Damn if Trey doesn’t have a few ‘Deliverance’ genes in his family tree somewhere back on the farm.

But he is crafty and sneaky.

The Chaffetz thing is still a mystery to me. Either blackmail/forced out or doesn’t want to go down with the traitors who he refuses to investigate. No one just quits when they are in the party that controls all branches of government.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee under Chaffetz was a joke and under Gowdy it will become a laughing stock. This little twit, Gowdy, could not pour piss out of a boot with directions on the heel.

Nothing like appointing someone who has a proven track record of running successful investigations, right? /s

It’s like switching deck chairs on the Titanic. Not gonna help.

I feel for Elijah Cummings however…He’ll be the one to carry the weight of the entire committee’s integrity on his shoulders if it ever does manage to produce any real oversight. I’m pretty sure from having observed that goober that someone like Gowdy-Doody will go out of his way to do anything he can to sabotage that committee, much like Chaffetz tried to do. I can’t wait until he tries to turn this oversight committee into another extension or iteration of his never-ending Benghazi hearing because, as everyone knows, there’s never enough discussion about Hillary’s emails.

Why anyone would think Republicans would pick someone with any real chops is beyond me anyways.
