Q said Gowdy was a Patriot.  However, he didn't explain why Gowdy completely dropped the ball when it was in his lap: Benghazi.  Absolutely nothing happened there, all bark and no bite. My personal hunch is that Gowdy, like so many others, got blackmailed by the deep state to cooperate with the deep state.  Trump allowed him to go states witness in exchange, as with others, that he step down from public office.  He announced his resignation the same time as rat Paul Ryan.  In fact I have heard Gowdy absolutely PRAISE Paul Ryan, which made me want to vomit.....and this was after he cut his deal with Trump Team.  That is why Gowdy is not going to be AG. Gowdy was in tears when he announced his retirement "to spend more time with his family."
