Former South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy thought he was done with politics.
But now he may get pulled back in.
And Donald Trump is about to make Trey Gowdy an offer that no one saw coming.
As American Patriot Daily reports:
The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump grumbled that Attorney General Pam Bondi is “weak” and “ineffective.”
Trump groused that Bondi hasn’t arrested any of the deep state conspirators who engineered the Russia collusion hoax, rigged the 2020 election, or waged unconstitutional lawfare against him in 2024.
There is a rumour floating around social media that Trump may swap out Bondi for Fox News host and former South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy.
Long-time Trump advisor Roger Stone wrote on his Stone Zone blog that such a move would spell disaster for Trump.
Stone slammed Gowdy as a Paul Ryan-RINO who would protect the deep state if Trump names him as Attorney General.
“The rumour mill pushing Gowdy as an AG candidate is likely an op to reroute the DOJ and erase the good work that is currently being done behind the scenes to enact serious structural reform. The notion of Gowdy as AG is inspiring intense rage by MAGA partisans on the X platform right now, and for good reason. Gowdy is a Paul Ryan Republican who was rightfully swept out of the Party in the age of Trump to the betterment of mankind. He must stay relegated to his FOX News echo chamber, far away from any role in the Trump administration or within Republican politics,” Stone wrote.
Stone ripped Gowdy as a fraud for his work as the Chairman of the Benghazi Select Committee, writing that “accountability has never occurred. No prosecutions or real answers came as a result of the Benghazi hearings.”
Gowdy even refused to blame then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the security failures that led to the deaths of four Americans in the terrorist attack.
“I’m not in the business of apportioning culpability. I think there’s enough to go around,” Gowdy said when the committee released its final report.
Stone wrote that during the Russia collusion hoax, “Gowdy, along with former House Speaker Paul Ryan, were the loudest defenders of Russia-gate spying on President Trump, arguing that the FBI was correct to use informants to infiltrate President Trump’s inner circle as part of their expansive fishing expedition based on faulty intelligence.”
“I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do,” Gowdy said of the FBI spying on the Trump campaign.
“It was President Trump himself who said, No. 1, ‘I didn’t collude with Russia, but if anyone connected with my campaign did, I want the FBI to find that out,’” Gowdy added. “It looks to me like the FBI was doing what President Trump said I want you to do — find it out.”
Gowdy also rejected the idea that criminal prosecution was the only way to hold deep state operatives like former CIA Director John Brennan accountable for his role in the Russia collusion hoax.
“Handcuffs are not the only way we meet out accountability. There’s shame, there’s history. It’s not just prison. There are other ways we meet our accountability. And the fact that somebody’s not wearing handcuffs does not, to me, mean that what they did is okay because it wasn’t,” Gowdy said on Fox News.
In 2019, Gowdy published his book, Doesn’t Hurt to Ask.
In an August 2020 promotional appearance with Trump-hating late-night host Stephen Colbert, Gowdy attacked Trump as an interloper who corrupted the Republican Party with his America First populism.
“It’s not the Republican Party I grew up with… Conservatism tells people what they ought to hear. Populism tells people what they want to hear… I’m a conservative, and you know, sometimes it gets difficult to see what the party platform is,” Gowdy stated.
Gowdy also bragged about wearing a mask and slammed President Trump for refusing to be seen in public following Dr. Fauci’s orders to cover his face.
“I do wear a mask… I would have liked for [President Trump] to have embraced the goodness, the propriety of wearing masks sooner,” Gowdy added.
Finally, Stone pointed out that Gowdy was an enemy of the Second Amendment.
That’s because Gowdy supports red flag confiscation laws, which allow the government to seize firearms from Americans without due process of law.
“The only way to stop it is to identify the shooter ahead of time or keep the weapons out of their hands,” he said. “And so we’re going to have to have a conversation of freedom versus protecting children. I mean, how many school shootings does it take before we’re going to have a conversation about keeping firearms out?” Gowdy declared.
Gowdy then went woke ranting that “it’s always a young, white male” carrying out mass shootings, even though leftist transgender individuals are the number one perpetrators of political violence in America today.
Many Trump supporters are disappointed in Pam Bondi’s performance as Attorney General.
But Roger Stone is warning them that Trey Gowdy is a less-than-ideal replacement.
