Perhaps, but Mueller is 2-0 as far as guilty pleas and convictions and is still hard at work. Scoreboard.

Maybe you can refresh my memory as to Gowdy's accomplishments in terms of actually getting charges out of his investigation?

I hope that this is the case. Jeff Sessions has been a disappointment. He declined to go after Lois Lerner and the other participants in the IRS criminal cabal. I've heard legal experts say that Sessions should not have recused himself in the whole Russia probe.

I also heard he is considering a judgeship.

Apparently he HATES politics, so we will see.....I hope he doesn't just vanish.

Just my opinion because the job is perfect for him.

I'll miss his multitudinous hairdos and eternal chastising of everyone and anyone.

And I will always remember his extreme frustration at being bested by cool calm Clinton after browbeating her for 11 hours. He reminds me of a cross between Yosemite Sam and Wylie Cyote.

The decimation of the Democrat party under Obama speaks for itself. Nothing hard to understand about that either.

So Gowdy's getting out before the GOP house collapses around him.

Must be smarter than he looks. Of course, an earthworm looks approximately as smart as Gowdy.

Bye bye...

Hopefully, it will be a moderate.

I heard up until yesterday morning his campaign was still sending out fundraising messages. Interesting. Was this a sudden decision? He resigned from Ethics just a few weeks ago.
