Wow...striped suit with striped shirt, pink tie, brown belt, brown shows...A mess, just as his tenure in Congress.

I will give him this though, the belt and the shoes seem to be the same brown.

Trey Gowdy has finally done something to benefit and serve his country. He left.

It sure took him long enough!!! But better late than never.

When Richard Nixon lost the gubernatorial election in California in 1962, he said he was quitting politics, and told the press "you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around any more." (He didn't, and they did)

What these Republicans have never grasped is that the Democrats and the press never had as their goal to kick them around in the first place. All we wanted was to kick them out.

Instead, he’s joined Nelson, Mullins, Riley & Scarborough as head of the firm’s white-collar defense and government investigations team, the News reported.

In other words, you are exchanging one crime syndicate position for another one. You are still an immoral/amoral sexist pig and always will be.
