LAWMAKER WANTS TO KEEP HIS FOCUS ON INVESTIGATION OF HILLARY CLINTON
|| By FITSNEWS || Looks like all that speculation about U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy becoming a contender for the next “majority” leader of the U.S. House of Representatives was just that … speculation.
Gowdy isn’t interested, according to his closest congressional confidante.
“There’s been a lot of chatter today about Trey Gowdy running for Majority Leader,” Gowdy’s colleague Mick Mulvaney wrote on his Facebook page. “I just talked to Trey for 20 minutes. He made it clear to me, in no uncertain terms, that upon further reflection last night and tonight, he is OUT of any consideration for any leadership position. He wants to focus on his work on the Benghazi commission. While I think he would have been a great majority leader, I absolutely respect this decision. He isn’t the kind of guy to leave a case midstream, and it makes complete sense to me that he has decided to stay and continue his work on Benghazi.”
Interesting …
Earlier in the day, Gowdy received several endorsements for the post – and Mulvaney indicated he would make an excellent compromise candidate.
Guess we’ll never know now …

In the end they will put a speaker in just like the other guy. He will compromise or incur the wrath of the American people. Saying one thing and doing it or totally different animals.
He’ll do what’s good for the whole country. Just like the last guy.
Are you starting to notice a trend here?
Tea Party wingnuts are being pushed to the side and marginalized.
Why not start a third party for angry white ‘conservatives’?
A third party might be the only thing that shows them that politics require compromise; that coalitions based on compromise are necessary AND how the Constitution they pretend to revere came into being and intended for our government to work…if they could ever get smart enough to learn.
Which is highly unlikely.
You dumbass the American people have rejected the Democrat Party.
Why do you think the Democrat Party needs Amnesty and illegals to vote?
No compromise.We have kicked your sorry asses from the dog catcher to the state houses to the governor mansions to the house and senate and you can’t do a damn thing about it.
Once we have the WH the Democrat Party will cease to exist.
Keep dreaming like you did during the last SCOTUS. Not enough old bigots to win in ’16.
Not enough bro’s will vote in 2016 and why dems need illegals.
2008 and 2012. Overwhelming victories for Obama.
What has the GOP done since then to bring new voters into their ranks?
Absolutely nothing. They only ticked off every demographic except older racist white people.
Just today…won’t matter WHO are nominee is….

You keep hugging your Hillary Clinton pillow every night, and sleeping in your Macy’s Trump underwear. And maybe your wish will come true. Meanwhile – we’ll run Biden, kick your ass and listen to you cry like a little girl – again!!!
LMAO!!!
In every one of the Colorado/Iowa/Virginia match-ups, Biden polls worse than Clinton does. Colorado is the cruelest state, a place where the voters who prefer Rubio over Clinton by 8 points prefer Rubio over Biden by 14 points. In Virginia, where Clinton trails by the margin of error, Biden trails every Republican just outside the margin of error. Iowa? Oh, Iowa’s even worse.
Biden would easily take Trump, Jeb, Carson, and plenty of the other contenders. Have fun calling him Commander In Chief.
Might want to wait until he gets in and there are fresh numbers. Not the stale old rotting ones like the fish in your fridge.
Did you know that it’s estiamted 5 million more Latino’s will be voting in 2016 – a lot who get naturalized and a lot more who are American born reaching voting age.”Every 30 seconds, a Latino turns 18 and becomes eligible to vote. That’s about 66,000 every month, or 800,000 every year, according to the Pew Research Center.” See ya – wouldn’t wanna be ya!!! Just do that math. 800,000 a year x 4 = 2.4 million. For naturalized citizens it’s 800,000 per year x 4 = 2.4 million. Casa de Pepe asshole.
72% of the electorate will be white in 2016.No Amnesty or path to citizenship-no Democrat Party.Evangelicals will be back at the polls in 2016-5,000,000 +
Be 100 years before the hispanic vote decides a presidential election-if then.All Rubio,Cruz or Trump need is 24% of the hispanic vote per turn out models.
You realize in that 72% the include all the Hispanics right?
Biden polling ahead of Trump by 18-points. Man, that’s gotta hurt.
Trump won’t be nominee however he got rid of Bush and No amnesty.
Hillary Clinton is your nominee and Trump even defeats her: (TODAY)

Read it and weep fool! You need 8-12 million illegals to win and you ain’t got em for a century!
Oh you so easily fooled. Trump is your candidate. He’s still holding 25% – and growing. You love Trump. You have his little hat. You know you do.
You sure did give up on Trump fast. Who will be the next loser you support?
Cruz – $10 says Cruz.
I may have let the cat too far out of the bag on my plan to help Hillary. No loss. I don’t need losers like FlipTango.
Neither party will ever cease to exist. The entire apparatus of our political system is geared toward there being TWO and only two parties.
Once one party gets too much control, they inevitably start screwing up and the other one regains strength and eventually control.
It is a pendulum and it is continuously swings from one extreme to the other.
It was that long ago that Democrats held the POTUS, and both Houses of Congress, including a whopping 60 seats in the Senate. They had a majority of the Governors and state legislative bodies then too.
You are an idiot.All politics is local and why the Republicans control both chambers in 70% of the state legislatures for the FIRST time since the Civil War.
Middle America has rejected you perverts.
All those legislatures and not a one can do a damn thing about legalized gay marriage.
It’s much easier to hold useless hearings to make it appear something is being done, than actually doing something.
He has a secure gig going on right now why trade it in. This Benghazi committee investigation has gone on longer than the one for Watergate.
I bet he’s pissed that another even more useless hearing on Planned Parenthood is stealing his thunder. Republicans and their useless hearings. They would literally have nothing else to do without them.
It is a good thing these guys are not cops – no crimes would ever be solved. How many investigations are still ongoing? I know I must have forgotten a few since it is one phony scandal after another with these guys.

Stonewalled? By the facts, you mean.
We hold hearing after hearing but the facts remain the same every single time! Why can’t the real world work like Fox News?

You’re right, no matter who you run, Special Agent Trump will deliver the election to us.
NC does not have that many Hispanics and is a Reddish Purple State.
Given the press barrage against Hillary in the last months, it is no wonder she is behind there. Eventually there has to be some substance to the ‘charges’ or they won’t stick. Right wing conspiracies eventual melt under scrutiny and this will too.
LMAO!!! The bumbling dipshit and self-proclaimed FitsNews prognosticator of elections has spoken.
You couldn’t pick a winning political campaign if i gave you the vote totals on election night.
Nobody knows I’m flip. Time to make another shitty post about abortion! LMAO!!!!
NC has more than 800,000 Hispanics compared to 300,000 in SC you fucking know nothing idiot.
Still hugging that Hillary pillow eh?
Biden would fare worse than Hillary after the Clinton Mafia gets done with him.
You actually believe the investigator generals? That’s fucking precious!
Oh, BS.
Is he investigating Benghazi for the 8th time or Hillary’s emails to Chelsea?
One LONNNNNNNNNNNG investigation . Mostly because the principles have stonewalled, obfuscated, failed to testify and destroyed evidence at every turn.
Really, all this shit you guys talk about regarding Benghazi makes for a great fiction story but it is time to admit the horse is dead and move on to other things.
We’ll see….
What do you mean? We have already had multiple conclusions that other than standard idiocy, nothing really happened. Does the horse’s bones need to be ground into dust before you guys will give up?
The only question we’ve really had answered is the “Who ordered the “stand down” question”.
Now how about:
* Who made up the Bovine Excreta about the “Video” and why was it continued to be used even after EVERYONE knew it was BS.
* Why were multiple requests for increased security ignored, Clinton’s answer went something like this “…I didn’t see those requests, I didn’t approve them, I didn’t deny them…” well who the hell did and what did they do about them?
* What really happened to Ambassador Stevens – the generally accepted version is at best preposterous.
* There are multiple Subpoena’s FOIA requests and inquiries for communications about this incident that have never been answered. Ms. Clinton’s statement “You know, you’re starting with so many assumptions that are — I’ve never had a subpoena. There is — again, let’s take a deep breath here. Everything I did was permitted by law and regulation.” is a bold faced lie.
* E-mails, e-mails, e-mails…
There is no THERE there but it ain’t gonna stop the Republicans! I have a good idea – how about doing something positive for the country instead of jacking off with all of these “investigations”? What has Gowdy done since he has been in office? NOTHING.
You mean like Madam Pelosi wants? http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jul/23/nancy-pelosi-wants-doj-probe-of-center-for-medical/
Sorry – don’t follow links to The Washington Times – as I know what I’ll find there . . . .
Here you go: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/28/1425588/-Nancy-Pelosi-calls-for-investigation-into-misleading-video-attacks-on-Planned-Parenthood
You’re hoping. Hillary should be toast, but there will be no indictment. Not as long as a Democrat is in the Big House. Once she is defeated, it won’t matter anymore.
” Once she is defeated, it won’t matter anymore.”
I so love the idiots on FitsNews – this is the same site where legions of posters declared that President Obama would never be elected or re-elected. It’s just so damn funny!
Yes we will . . .
Yes, we will.
Yes we will . . . .
You’re being stonewalled a bit with her email thing but Benghazi? There’s no diamond in that coal mine.
Correct and easy to see.
It’s about time the GOP started ejecting the crazies from the party.
I bet they are hoping the more extreme bigots will just walk away.
The Bigot is in the White House…just ask the famlies of the cops shot down w/ encouragement from Obama.
And w/ Boehner left…a crazy-liberal was EJECTED…with the message no others need apply…
So are you going to just walk away as the GOP rejects your kind or will you start a new ‘white conservative’ party? That would take effort and work. Two things you guys lack.
Their party mascot will be the bull as the only thing it will produce is shit.
Funny !
Swing and miss – strike two.
Obviously he has enough sense to realize that until the Tea Nuts are purged from the party, being a part of the House Leadership is a fool’s errand.
Trey knows that officials championed by the Tea Party are rarely going to have a seat at the table in Washington going forward. He’ll wait it out for a job in SC, where the nutters will love him.
Trey should focus on the Benghazi Committee. Since it was noted across the media this week that his committee has gone on longer than the Watergate Committee, he is starting to look like the pinhead he is and knows he needs to wrap it up.
But, he CAN’T!
The State Department cannot release Hillary’s emails all at once without checking them for classified material. That’s why they have a release once a month.
Yes, that’s bad for the drip, drip, drip on Hillary’s campaign.
But, it’s also bad that after 7 other GOP committee investigations on Benghazi, Trey (and the once GOP) jumped on the tangent of the emails TRYING to drag it out to election day 2016 to damage Hillary while he/they can’t get the actual 8th BENGHAZI investigation completed.
GOP incompetence exposed…AGAIN!
Lets see if we can figure out why it has gone on so long – one word, Hillary.
If she had nothing to hide she sure spent a lot of time hiding it.
Excellent.
She’s an idiot. My wife claims it’s because we pick on women, but I tell her, no it’s because she lies. And remember – I’m a Dem.
Your candidate.HC.The Clinton Mafia will NEVER allow anyone else to take that nomination without taking Obama and the entire Democrat Party down.
Interesting comment by your wife however.A true femi-nazi?
Not anymore than Jeb is YOUR candidate.
No worries, she’ll vote for Joe, along with 57% of the rest of the country. Why don’t you just move.

Great. If it holds, you only have to flip 6 more states. Good luck – senor.
When Texas turns blue these guys will freak the fuck out.
Texas’ 2014 population of roughly 26 million includes some 10 million Hispanics, but less than half of them are eligible to vote. Those Census Bureau counts from 2010 include at least one million undocumented non-citizens as well as a sizeable number of student visa and green card holders. And then there’s the three million Hispanics under the age of 18.

NEXT!
Oh yeah.
There has always been something distasteful about her. Even as First Lady. So disingenuous. Didn’t trust her then or now.
She loves infanticide and gay perversion.You love her.
She prefers homosexual perversion. Look who she married.
You would be the expert in that area. Thank you.
Happily married for 22 years and counting. I must be doing something right ;)
Maybe you could share with Tango. Nah – wouldn’t work.
I’ll pass
Congrats.:)
You are a better example of a godly marriage than flip’s idols: Josh Duggar, Nikki Haley, Mark Sanford, Dennis Hastert, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and the list goes on…
I complimented Ms.Mamatiger92.
You go girl! Right and Right.
And, I guess the fact that 7 other GOP investigations have found no there there where Hillary and Benghazi are concerned means nothing.
Sorry, I’ve followed this closely because as a former state employee, I thought it was horrendous that she had a private server.
But, there’s nothing from the emails that I’ve seen so far to indicate she was ‘hiding’ anything except the ass kissing of people like Sidney Blumenthal.
The emails are a fishing expedition – at taxpayer expense – to hurt Clinton politically and have virtually nothing to do with what happened at Benghazi.
Deletion of evidence is a common theme for politicians on both sides of the spectrum, funny how Republicans only care now.
A traitor occupies the wH. New times.
The reality is, is that there are 25-40 (more likely the 25) absolutely insane, off the chart crazies in the GOP Conference. They can’t elect one of their own, yet they can thwart anything the Leadership moves forward, whether it is a routine, administrative matter, or substantive policy matter.
And even as conservative as Trey Gowdy is, he was sunk not by his desire to complete the Behghazi work, rather, by the crazies in The House who think that even *Gowdy* is not right-wing enough. In fact the nuts even call Gowdy a “pawn” of the “Establishment” McCarthy who will become Speaker. Of course Gowdy voted for Ex-Im, so that must make him a communist.
—————————————————————————————-
“One conservative lawmaker said he believes Gowdy is making moves to
mount a campaign for leader. But the lawmaker warned that a Gowdy bid
sounds like a strategy hatched by McCarthy.
“I think it is a McCarthy ploy to surround himself with somebody who the
base likes but who is no threat to McCarthy,” the conservative lawmaker
wrote in a text message.
“I could back [Gowdy] for Speaker. As majority leader, he would be a pawn of leadership.”
http://thehill.com/homenews/house/255242-chaffetz-recruits-gowdy-for-gop-leader
The nation’s loss, no doubt.
Don’t you take care of Hillary, I’ll take care of Hillary. She will be in the White House soon enough thanks to me!
I like Gowdy, but it though it was common knowledge he’s not happy being a CongressCritter™. If he’s not happy being a CongressCritter™ why would he want to be majority leader? I think he’ll be happier back in SC as the next Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court.

I never realized how much his nose looks like Michael Jackson’s (Circa 2009).
Racist.
As much as the left denies it and keep saying that these investigation of Hillary are useless, evidence is to the contrary. Hillary Clinton, up to this point has lied and is now contradicting herself at every turn. Just keep thinking and saying that this is not detrimental to her political aspirations. Look at the polls, she is falling like a rock and she can not sustain a reasonable campaign under this pressure. In the end, she may not get tried or even indicted, but her political career is over, and there is a real possibility that she will drag down the Democrat party so much, that no viable Democrat candidate will stand a chance in the general election.
If the democrats were smart, they would convince her to drop out and face the music with the possibility of more Congressional investigation and possible charges for the violation of security.
She’s toast. But like a good NFL club, we have a starting backup. Now, Division III GOP – can’t even find a high school standout.
Bernie Sanders!LMAO!!!!
What is your obsession with where Bernie Sanders honeymooned, flip? My brother honeymooned in England. Does that automatically make him a constitutional monarchist?
Just keep thinking that, Hillary tribulations could be the death knell for any Democrat aspirations in 2016. This will be a continuation of the 2014 election.
Leave it to Repubs to get drunk on a midterm election and think they can take on the freight train 2 years later.
They can do that when the DEMs are on drugs and suffering delusions of grandeur.
Well, they did in 2012 – drunker than a Mormon on fruit punch.
Brilliant observation as usual.
They are on this Biden train.Won’t work.It has been 19 years since Democrats won a presidential election with a white male candidate. As the party found in the 2010 and 2014 midterms, the shift of white working class voters to the GOP has made it harder to win elections unless they’re motivating every other type of voter.
When’s the last time the GOP won an election with a minority. Oh right, never.
Don’t need em.
Biden and Sanders are your backups in The Democrat party and you call the Republicans Division III?
The Democrats are sending in a seventy plus year old doofus in Biden and a seventy plus year old socialist and you think that is strength on the bench?
You need to take your meds.
NYT “Disturbing prospect of Trey Gowdy as majority leader”:
http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/09/29/the-disturbing-prospect-of-trey-gowdy-as-majority-leader/?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=opinion-c-col-left-region®ion=opinion-c-col-left-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region&_r=0
That’s right—Trey—let us say—rides a ONE-horse open sleigh—and
voters in 2016 will NOT give him a pass
Because just like Joe Wilson who ALSO voted for Beohner—their
chosen “one horse?”—like them—a jackass !!!
Hey Rocky–remember Johnny Jeffcoat of Rednexington County Council says Mormons are all tax and spend liberals! Also, one person you can definitely cross off as being in the mix for majority leader, speaker, dog catcher, or any other role is that nutcase Joe Wilson. Only thing nuttier than that idiot and his back stabbing sidekick/buttboy Butch Wallace are the voters in that district who put him there. Surely there are better candidates than Wilson in the 2nd District.
Lotta Democrat Douchebaggery today. But you know, childish effusivary is both entertaining and useful. These hate-mongers have come up with some great straight lines!
