Trey Gowdy reveals he’s exactly who we thought he was

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

When notoriously dishonest Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy made the shock announcement that he was retiring from politics, he essentially said that he was doing it because he was tired of being a partisan hack. He hinted that he wanted to return to his previous career as a prosecutor. But it looks like Gowdy is missing the far-right swamp already, because he’s decided to come slithering back in a new role.

Trey Gowdy is now taking a job as a Fox News talking head, where the network says he’ll provide “political and legal analysis.” Translation: he’s been hired to resume his lifetime of deranged lies and phony conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton. As Donald Trump circles the drain in such severe fashion that even Fox can’t figure out how to keep propping him up, the network’s only real remaining avenue for ratings is to ramp up the lies about its favorite Democratic scapegoats.

And really, there’s no one more suited to spread lies about Hillary Clinton and the Democrats than Trey Gowdy, who is best known for spending years leading phony congressional investigations into phony Hillary scandals, such as email and Benghazi. Gowdy has always been a prick, and his decision to join Fox News reveals that he’s a prick and will always be one.

If you’re looking for a silver lining in all this, back when Trey Gowdy was carrying out his fraudulent hearings aimed at sabotaging Hillary Clinton, his chief adversary was the ranking member on the committee, Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings. As it turns out, Cummings now has Gowdy’s old job of committee chair. Meanwhile Gowdy will be busy crapping all over his own already-terrible reputation over at Fox News, thus ensuring that he’ll never ever be appointed to any prosecutor job in the future.
