Gowdy front-runner to be next Oversight chairman

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) could be the next chairman of the House Oversight Committee — if he wants the job.

The popular South Carolina Republican and former Select Committee on Benghazi chairman has emerged as the front-runner to replace Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who made it official Thursday that he would resign from Congress on June 30. 

Gowdy, a prominent leadership ally, has been racking up endorsements from colleagues on the Oversight panel and the influential Steering Committee, which will choose the next chairman. The 52-year-old former prosecutor is one of a handful of senior Oversight members who has been calling and texting Steering members about the gavel. 

“If Trey runs, he’ll get it,” one Steering Committee member told The Hill.

2. Well, he IS their brain trust.

That is, of course, sarcasm.

3. He couldn't convict an innocent Hillary...

do they think he can exonerate a guilty Trump?

Time will tell.
