She was up in the dome - with the rest of the bats.
Before you ask, NAncy Pelosi was not up there with her because, well, even BATS have standards.

34 openings for Tea Party repubs to grab.
You know, REAL AMericans.

A number of those opting not to run were around retirement age, and perhaps tired of the increasing BS in Washington. Gowdy could have had a strong future in politics well beyond Trump if he wanted it.

That sucks.
Gowdy was one of the few in the swamp worth a listen.
Many reasons for many things, I wish him well in his future endeavors.

A lifetime appt as a Federal Judge is a huge deal.

It may be huge, but his potential earnings in the private sector are YUGE.
Gowdy was asked by White House Counsel Don McGahn if he was interested in one of the two openings on the 4th Circuit, which includes his home state. He said he wasn't.

The only way he's going to make the big Dinero in private practice is either
1) Stay in Washington and become a lobbyist/political consultant.If he seemed to be tired of DC shenanigans why throw yourself back in that muck.?
2) Become a criminal defense attorney specializing in white collar crime.I think there's limited opportunities in South Carolina for that line of work;:strictly a big city job
3) Corporate counsel.There's enough big companies that have established bases in SC to make that a reality.
However, he said he wants to stay in "the justice system" , whatever that means.

Word is that Trey Gowdy could be considered for FBI Director if Christopher Ray quits next week because Ray does have a role in this sad, treasonous FBI scandal.
I personally would prefer John Pistole to replace the soon-to-be discredited Ray as FBI Director, but Gowdy will do.

Gowdy said, "I will be returning to the justice system."
That certainly rules out the FBI.

He said, "Whatever skills I may have are better utilized in a courtroom than in Congress, and I enjoy our justice system more than our political system.”

Maybe he will go back to announcing baseball - he was pretty good in the day.
