Fox Terminates Trey Gowdy After Veteran Prosecutor Joins Trump Legal Team

Trey Gowdy has been "terminated and is no longer a contributor" at Fox News, just one day after Axios reported that the former South Carolina lawmaker had joined president Trump's legal team as outside counsel.

"Terminates" is a pretty strong word from Fox. WTH is going on at Fox?

Gowdy retired from Congress last year after opting no to seek reelection, instead returning to private practice and joining Fox News as a contributor.
According to Axios, Trump asked Gowdy to assist him with legal advice amid an ongoing impeachment inquiry. "Gowdy is expected to advise the White House behind the scenes and appear on TV to advocate on behalf of the president," a person familiar with the matter told Axios's Margarate Talev, adding that his experience heading the Benghazi probe (which found no wrongdoing by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton) was seen as an asset.
According to Gowdy's bio at law firm Nelson Mullins:
As a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives for South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District, Mr. Gowdy chaired the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He served on the House Committees on Intelligence and Ethics. He also served on the Judiciary Committee, where he served as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations. He was involved in the Benghazi and Russian investigations, two of the most significant congressional investigations in the last decade. An experienced trial lawyer, Mr. Gowdy is a former state and federal prosecutor.
Gowdy joins Trump's legal team amid a flurry of impeachment-related subpoenas that the White House has refused to comply with - a move House Democrats said would constitute obstruction, a potentially impeachable offense itself.

If he was a contractor, that would be the correct language.

They probably wanted some insider info and two scoops to stay on fox and he said up your arse.

Too bad FOX hasn't terminated Donna "I got the questions for you right here" Brazile.

Don’t they know only Trump gets two scoops?

It could be a conflict of interest. I know Rudy is on Fox a lot but he goes on the other networks too.

Seems like an appropriate step.
Like what? Fired? Cancelled his contract? Let go?

Paul Ryan, now sits on the BoD of Fox.
Bet ya, that's what's going on.

I can see why this was done, but let's not forget that Sean Hannity is an unabashed mouthpiece for President Trump.

I never paid a lot of attention to Ryan when he was Speaker except that I didn't want him to get the Speakership. Did he and Gowdy get along when he was Speaker?
I pretty much only watch Tucker and Hannity now when it used to be on all awake hours even the late night reruns; that is how much I despise FN now.
Their rating have to be slipping a great deal now with Brazile and Ryan there even with Ryan not being on air.

Isn’t Rudy still a contributor?

I don't know if it registers, but every single time Brazille comes on Fox...I grab the remote and flip. Playing the 'Christian' card like Nancy "praying for our President" Pelosi is a tad over my ability to bear.
I guess Gowdy wants to get in on the slaughter, after all those years of watching our Constitution be spat on by the corrupt TRANSNATIONAL PROGRESSIVES, who despise our Constitution and it's God-given Rights Principle therein.

Yah what’s up with using that verbiage?
Surely we can find an equivalent move for a Dem and see if Fox News used the same word?

You know it, and you know he's too sharp to be a boot licker.

Long been rumored that Gowdy did'nt seek re-election because he's angling for a Federal Judgeship here in South Carolina.

But yet Water Buffalo Donna Brazile, who was the DNC Chairman until she screwed that job up by giving Hillary debate questions in advance, is welcomed to Fox with open arms.
I keep wishing some conservative billionaire would start another network, but I've been waiting on that a long time.
