On Tuesday, Bloomberg News reported that former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), who once chaired the House Oversight Committee and the Select Committee on Benghazi, will be joining President Donald Trump’s legal team to fight the impeachment inquiry.

Previous reports had suggested that Gowdy, who declined to run for re-election in 2018, had turned down the offer to join the White House’s anti-impeachment efforts.

Gowdy has been a front-line crusader in fighting for Republican causes in the House, working to turn “Benghazi” into a household name during the Obama years. At one point, he faced an ethics scandal for wrongfully firing an Air Force reservist who couldn’t find dirt on Hillary Clinton. Towards the end of his term in office, however, he appeared to be more critical of Trump, even pushing back on some of his conspiracy theories about the FBI investigation of Russia.

7. all must kiss the ring of the godfather....

If they know whats good for them. Turn trump down? Fuhgetabout running for any office again. Fuhgettabout any honey dripping off the gop money tree in any business venture in the future. Congress is just a path to that tree. Lots of grift to go around, unless you step off the crazy train. Doesn't matter what you have done, only matters what you will do when asked.

It's the way they roll.

Gotta admire pure evil when you see it.

39. And it looks so natural! eom

[Faux pas]

9. Sure he will

just another loud mouth chicken shit asshole in the deplorable basket.

33. Gowdy IS shameless, isn't he ?

[Cattledog]

10. After a rather mediocre legal career. You know Trump chooses the best people.

[Fritz67]

11. I swear...

...it's like they WANT to look like a bunch of two-faced, hypocritical assbags.

16. Probably couldn't find a job in private sector.

Will fail like he did while in the house.

[BlueIdaho]

17. Missing the limelight?

Poor Trey, he’ll suck Trump’s cock just to get 5 more minutes of fame. It’s a shame Trump won’t even say “thanks for the blowjob” when he’s done with him. I don’t even think he’ll get a Kleenex.

20. but he won't cooperate with the inquiry

right?



✌🏼

[LisaM]

21. He and Trump are two terrible people who deserve each other.

I don't predict that this appointment will last. If Trump drags him down - and he will - I, for one, will not feel an ounce of sympathy for him.

[riversedge]

22. crap. I thought we were rid of that creepy little man. damn!

25. Send in the Clowns!!

28. Has Shiny Gowdy ever won a case?

I remember quite a lot of failed investigations that this bozo chaired up. Should be funny to see him flail around with Trump's bullshit alibis.

[dchill]

32. He was successful as a prosecutor in South Carolina.

He can occasionally be seen on "Forensic Files" reruns. He seems sane in that role. This was quite a few years ago, though.

[SCVDem]

31. Gowdy you little prick!

How much tax money did you waste chasing windmills in Benghazi?

Here's a real crime yet you are blind.

Just fuck off!

36. We need to put together a "Then and Now" video featuring Gowdy,Graham,and all the...

other GOP hypocrites with clips of their Clinton impeachment speeches.

[Mr. Sparkle]

38. According to Maggie Haberman on CNN, he hasn't been asked yet and he hasn't accepted anything.

Though the trump team expects him to accept the offer.

[raccoon]

40. Gosh he looks old! He was born in 1964. Nt

[olegramps]

43. He is one of the most despicable subhumans on the face of the earth.

His very existence is an insult to humanity. His evil face invokes uncontrolled vomiting at its sight. He is a being dredged out of the depths of depravity without a shred of decency. His mind is cesspool of maggot infestation. He is a Republican.

[pecosbob]

44. Tre, Trey, Trey...you got out without going to jail. What the f*ck are you thinking?

You know we're coming for you sooner or later.
