On 5/9/2017, President Trump, on recommendations from the DoJ, dismissed FBI director James Comey, citing the need to restore public trust in the FBI. As chair of the House Benghazi committee, and throughout his entire career, Trey Gowdy has consistently demonstrated the utmost dedication to US law, and an exceptionally ruthless dedication to the pursuit of truth. In watching any amount of the available coverage of Trey Gowdy in action, even the most casual observer can see that Mr. Gowdy is a man of incredible integrity and tremendous intelligence. It is also clear from his record that Mr. Gowdy is guided solely by notions of justice, and has no reservations whatsoever about challenging even the most powerful of entities. No one could restore the reputation of the FBI better than he.
