Trey Gowdy is out!
That’s right… moments after it became public knowledge that the former South Carolina congressman was joining Trump’s team as outside counsel, Fox News announced it was cutting all ties to Gowdy as an outside contributor.
Fighting the Impeachment
Gowdy, while not becoming an official member of Team Trump, will help fight this battle as a hired gun.
Trump’s primary personal attorney, Jay Sekulow, stated, “I am pleased to announce that former Congressman Trey Gowdy is joining our team as Counsel to the President.
“I have known Trey for years and worked with him when he served in Congress. His legal skills and his advocacy will serve the president well. Trey’s command of the law is well known and his service on Capitol Hill will be a great asset as a member of our team.”
Gowdy, as you probably already know, was vicious during his time as the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman.
Even though nothing ever came of the committee hearings (does anything ever come of a committee hearing?), most believed Gowdy exposed Hillary Clinton for what she truly is.
Better Representation
One of the reasons the Trump team is believed to have wanted Gowdy on the team was for better representation on TV.
While Gowdy will no longer be a paid contributor on Fox News, he will still be called upon during interviews to offer insight into the happenings during this impeachment process.
It is very reasonable to assume one of Gowdy’s main roles during this process will be to discredit the legitimacy of the House investigation. Specifically, to blow holes in just about anything that comes out of the mouth of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).
Gowdy has already started on that front, stating, “Bias kills investigations, and for anyone who wondered whether Adam Schiff could be objective or dispassionate — I never wondered that, but if any of your viewers did — now you know, he makes up facts in openings and he lies about meetings with whistleblowers.”
According to numerous reports, Trump insiders are trying to get Rudy Giuliani off the circuit as they believe he often does Trump more harm than good during appearances.
He has misspoken on numerous occasions and he has sometimes seemed a bit unprepared to face specific questions, something that is very unlikely to happen if Gowdy is turned into the point man for communications.
This is a major coup for Trump and a move that has surely added some digestive problems to House Democrats.
They thought they were rid of Gowdy when he retired, now they are going to have to face him in an arena of which he is all too familiar and regularly dominates.
That is an excellent move. Trey Gowdy is brilliant, and it’s so good to see that he’s a supporter of our great President.
I want him for SC Justice #3
What is going on with FOX News They have Cavuto,Wallace and Juan that are total Jerks that should be on CNN They do not belong on FOX. I am getting disgusted with FOX only good News is OAN Network.
I would think that Gowdy’s “firing” was done without malice and was basically done to avoid having Democraps and liberal media trolls accusing Fox News of a conflict of interest by employing someone who actually now works for the President. Whatever faults that Fox News may have, I do believe that they still care as an entity to try and follow established rules in terms of employing individuals under the current employ of a President from either party (something that CNN, PMSNBC and the rest of the liberal media doesn’t care about.)
I to have began to watch OAN more and I agree Juan and Wallace need to go Cavuto fairmost of the time
[…] picture is of a man, wearing a Trump mask, and pretending to be shot. Sandoval is pictured near the questionable scenes. Sandoval is […]
Does anyone smell Paul Ryan here. You know Paul, onetime Republican, charter member of the never Trumpers everywhere and loser of the Republican House by his bitterness and incompetence.
Gowdy is a great man and he will be an asset to President Trump.
I’m not really impressed, Gowdy has always had a good bark, but I’ve never seen anyone going to jail???
ALWAYS ENJOYED TREY GIVING THE ENEMY A BAD TIME,BUT I DON’T REMEMBER IF ANY THING BECOME OF HIS QUESTIONING.DON’T THINK THERE WILL BE SO MANY ATTACKING PRESIDENT TRUMP,IF THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TO PUT UP WITH TREY.
