Prediction: Gowdy wasn't hired by Trump's legal team because he has a bigger role for him: the Next FBI Director. Chris Wray's gotta go.  Trump signaled his removal with 'current' director of FBI in a tweet I suspect that Gowdy will be the best candidate for FBI.  He's a very good lawyer.  And he's also a pro law enforcement person who respects the rule of law and the constitution.  "May Justice be done though the heavens fall" -- he's known for saying He also seems very even keeled and level headed.  He wasn't quick to make assessments, and was always willing to look at the other side of things.  This makes him a very good candidate for FBI Mr. purple tie I've seen no evidence that Gowdy is deepstate, nor do I buy any arguments that he 'threw the game' when questioniong Clinton over emails or benghazi.  Rewatch the video of him questioning Clinton.  His entire body is shiny from a sheen of sweat.  It could have been hot in congress that day, but no one else is sweating.  Gowdy is facing the devil herself, as if he met the devil on a crossroads somewhere in south georgia in the middle of a hot summer night to compete with him in a banjo duel for his very soul He was terrified.  Because he knew what he was up against But Gowdy dindu nuffin....arguemnt: It's a simple fact that congress is NOT a law enforcement entity.  They make criminal referrals, and if they die at the DOJ in the executive, well that's the president's and AG's fault
