This is good stuff. Maybe they should have stopped investigating Benghazi after the seventh one.
Ex-Benghazi Investigator Alleges Rep. Gowdy Violated Federal Law
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ex-benghazi-investigator-alleges-rep-gowdy-violated-federal-law-n443166
"Both Representative Gowdy and the committee have clearly violated terms of the confidentiality agreement and the Congressional Accountability Act," said Peter Romer-Friedman, one of Podliska's attorneys, to MSNBC on Monday afternoon.
The lawyers allege that Gowdy and the committee improperly released confidential information regarding an employment dispute with Podliska, in an effort to discredit him.

And...
A draft of a lawsuit to be filed by Podliska claimed he was fired in part because he refused to go along with the anti-Clinton effort, and also in retaliation for him leaving the committee on Reserve Air Force duties.
Gowdy has categorically denied Podliska's allegations that he was fired for refusing to go after Clinton.
Gowdy has said Podliska was actually terminated for his own errors on the job, including the mishandling of classified information.

....by character assassination. All facts should be on the table, including all the emails from Mr Gowdy and his cohorts.
