11 Most Badass Things Trey Gowdy Has Ever Said
#1 Responding to Nancy Pelosi about the Benghazi hearings:
“Well, I certainly hope the Democrats participate. I continue to think that some things transcend politics like the murder of four of our fellow citizens and whether or not you trust government. That is not a red or blue issue. That is an American issue. As for whether or not they boycott, I hope they don’t.”
“I can tell you this. It is not going to be evenly constituted and when she was Speaker Pelosi, she certainly showed no interests in having an equal number of Republicans and Democrats.”
#7 On Constitutional checks and balances:
You know, in the oath that brand-new citizens take, it contains six different references to ‘the law.’ If it’s good enough for us to ask brand-new citizens to affirm their devotion to the law, is it too much to ask that the president do the same?
If a president can change some laws, can he change ALL laws? Can he change election laws? Can he change discrimination laws? Are there any laws, under your theory, that he actually HAS to enforce?
What is our recourse, Mr. Speaker? What is our remedy?
#8 Reacting to Nancy Pelosi’s comments that the House voting to hold Eric Holder in contempt was an “attempt to suppress the vote”:
“It’s really beneath the office of a member of Congress to say something that outrageous. The fact that she was once the Speaker is mind-numbing, honestly…[her comments are] mind-numbingly stupid.”
#10 Gowdy talks about the President’s promises:
“The president already has a Nobel Prize for peace. I think he’s shooting for one in fiction.”
#11 In this House GOP press conference from October 2013, he explains in the most succinct way possible why these hearings need to take place:
Congress is supposed to provide oversight, the voters are supposed to provide oversight. And you [the media] were supposed to provide oversight. That’s why you have special liberties and that’s why you have special protections.
I am not surprised that the President of the United States called this a phony scandal. I’m not surprised that Secretary Clinton asked, “What difference does it make?” I’m not even surprised that Jay Carney said that Benghazi happened ‘a long time ago.’ I’m just surprised at how many people bought it.

Trey Gowdy doesn't strike me as a man who would ask questions he can't answer himself. If he's taunting the media in this manner he knows damn well they will eat him alive if he can't provide revelation.

He nailed the MSM media. Here is a typical comment below the Youtube video:

That sound you all heard, was the bitch slap of truth on the face of the main stream media. POW!!!?

How soon before Gowdy is mentioned as a possible 2016 Presidential candidate for the GOP?

What an ignorant statement.
The no WMDs charge was bogus from day one.
1. Saddam violated his cease fire treaty and the justification for war was already in place ( If the world had dealt with Hitler when he entered the Rhine land illegaly then there would have been no WW2.)
2. The CIA stated their intelligence indicated WMDs as far back as when Clinton was in the White House, so why were they lying then ? The facts are they moved the weapons to Syria while we tried to get some BS resolution passed instead of protecting our interest. 3000 of our fellow citizens were murdered, we should have invaded every muslim nation that harbored terrorist and subjugated those fools.
3. The Iraq war costs lives as all wars do, but we had fewer lives lost in the Iraq / Afghanistan wars then any wars, the media showed a running body count to undermine GWB, the quit when their messiah got elected.
4. This president and his minions lied ( REALLY LIED ) to the American people about what happened in Benghazi, the lied to the four families faces, they didn't give congress the information when requested. They targeted conservative groups with the IRS.
But GWB won a war.
LMAO

Actually, I think he reached a new low there. A gutter low, to be honest, when he starts by insinuating that the Obama Administration is not interested in bringing the murderers to justice.
This is code for "I can't answer these questions" Bahhhh the sheep continue to follow.

Trey Gowdy seems like the only person with a voice and a set of balls to go along with it.

Well if he knows all of the answers to the questions he's asking, why are we still having an investigation then?
