| Trey Gowdy Not Running For Re-Election |
| 2018-01-31 |
| Did not see this one coming. I think this makes 26 GOP House members not running for re-election now. [Axios] South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy announced he was not running for re-election on Wednesday. "I will not be filing for re-election to Congress nor seeking any other political or elected office; instead I will be returning to the justice system." ‐ Trey Gowdy |

| #5 The Deep State must have something on him I dunno, Gowdy seems clean. I would think that the D.C. burn-out factor is high. He'd been at it a long time. Maybe he figured he was not accomplishing what he wanted or that he was away from his family too much. He seems like a more than capable guy when compared to other Congresscritters--some are bottom feeders who should have been gone long ago; he wasn't that sort. I got a long list of others who ought to go; he's not on my list. |

| #4 Damn, that sucks. He's good in Congress. I think that's right where we need him. If he replaces Sessions is the only exception. The Deep State must have dirt on him. It's the only explanation for the crappy weak job he's done. |
