Trey Gowdy has been a fixture in Republican politics since the Tea Party days,
Gowdy may now be considering leaving his job at Fox News.
And Donald Trump is facing one tough choice about Trey Gowdy.
As West Wing Daily reports:
Trump supporters are growing frustrated with Pam Bondi’s performance as Attorney General.
Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, there has been no mass takedown of left-wing terrorist groups like Antifa.
Deep State operatives who plotted coups against President Trump in his first term still haven’t faced accountability.
But who would replace Bondi if President Trump decided to make a change at the top of the Department of Justice?
One rumored candidate is former South Carolina Congressman and current Fox News host Trey Gowdy, who was once a federal prosecutor.
This news alarmed Trump supporters who came to see Gowdy as an apologist for the Deep State.
In 2018, when Gowdy was on the House Intelligence Committee, Gowdy defended the Obama FBI dispatching spies to infiltrate the Trump campaign as part of the Russia collusion hoax.
Gowdy called Obama’s FBI dispatching undercover operatives to spy on the opposition party’s Presidential candidates “exactly” what Americans want to see happen.
“I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got,” Gowdy told Fox News.
Gowdy even went so far as to claim the FBI spying on the Trump campaign was what Trump would have wanted,
“It looks to me like the FBI was doing what President Trump said: ‘I want you to do, find it out,’” Gowdy stated. “President Trump himself, in the Comey memo, said, ‘If anyone connected with my campaign was working with Russia, I want you to investigate it.’ Sounds to me like that was exactly what the FBI did.”
Gowdy also claimed that if Americans could see all the documents he was privy to as a member of the House Intelligence Committee that they would think the Russia witch hunt was a legitimate investigation.
“The folks who have seen the information, I think, have the same perspective I have,” Gowdy declared. “Those who have not seen the information, I don’t know what informs their perspective.”
Donald Trump needs an Attorney General to investigate and prosecute the deep state.
Gowdy is a creature of the American judicial system and wants to trust that it works to pursue justice.
That belief places blinders on Gowdy to the abuses of power the FBI and Department of Justice subjected President Trump to for the last nearly 10 years.
And in the eyes of many Trump supporters, that makes Gowdy a poor choice to serve as Attorney General.
