Former Rep. Trey Gowdy on Sunday said he has "no idea" if he would ever join President Donald Trump's legal team, despite Trump saying the South Carolina Republican would be free to do so next year.

Gowdy was first floated earlier this month as a new outside lawyer to help the president fight impeachment — an announcement that Trump quickly walked back, citing "lobbying rules and regulations."

In an appearance on CBS on Sunday, Gowdy cast doubt on whether he would ever represent the president.

"I have no idea," he said on “Face the Nation.“ "I don't represent the president as of today. I don't know what if anything will exist in January. It may be over."

I instantly see Hillary, brushing lint off her shoulder while being questioned by him during her 11 hour appearance on Benghazi. So cool. He was sweating like a stuck pig. He owes her an apology, since it came out that he altered some of the records on the meeting. Lousy lawyer, worse "representative" I thought he was going back to private practice. Maybe no firm wants him?

"It may be over."

Trump's version of the presidency may not be over by January, but if the snowball keeps increasing in size and speed, Gowdy may turn out to be right after all.

One way or the other, I doubt people like Leningrad Lindsey will appreciate his fellow South Carolinian's choice of words.
