Former GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy — once an advocate of Congress's oversight powers — has joined President Donald Trump's personal legal team in its fight against the House impeachment inquiry.

Gowdy also has ties to Trump's Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney — both represented South Carolina in the House over the same time period. In a sign that he'd be joining Team Trump, Fox News issued a statement earlier Wednesday saying he'd"been terminated and is no longer a contributor."

Where’s that integrity and character now?

Goodyear knows the truth

Trey the Alien

He's embarking on a sinking ship. Maybe, that's why he is delaying joining his legal team. The

So another guy who took Russian money?

Far left Democrats don't stand a chance.

Trey Gowdy was an embarrassment during the Bengazi hearings. And was caught on a hot mic saying it was all political to discredit a Obama and H Clinton. He left in shame. Go back under your rock.

What is the definition of prostitution. Does it fit

Shocker

GOOD!

Is there a requirement that Republican Senators and Representatives be two-faced hypocrites to run for office, or is that just their nature?

Bad move!🤨

Team Anything for a Buck.

DracoMalfoy

He wants to make sure he never works again. People will never ever trust him ever again.

Don’t they need him for the front porch scene in the Deliverance remake?

I haven't recovered from his Bengazi crap?

Legal team..haha. Working pro bono, they know that, right?

Hallelujah! Trey Gowdy is the man. I trust him.

It’s a bad move, Trey. You are willingly signing on to a sinking ship. You are enlisting in the GOP Circular Firing Squad.

Probably not most people's idea of a dream team.

Only the best people! 🙄

Hypocrite gowdy

So “James and the Giant Peach” was a prophetic movie?

Wtf arw you kidding me...

Formidable

Yea, we see this a lot lately in Republicans... all for oversight, except oversight of Trump. All for balanced budgets and lowering national debt, except for Trump. All for defending our allies, except for Trump All for rule of law, except for Trump

Well then...

Birds of a feather...

He going to need this lil Shewawa!

Rats boarding a sinking ship?

Hypocrites

He'd better find his place on a lifeboat. Trump's ship of fools is going down

Must have gotten his money 'up front'.....that's also a real estate term

Traitor

His hypocritical posture is anti American and disgusting!!!!!

Threy Gowdy is a joke!!!!!!!!

Another two faced Republican. Gowdy and graham should be best friends.

He’s a joke. Remember Benghazi hearings.

Trey Howdy GOP hypocrite. Congressional oversight only applies when Republicans are the ones over seeing things. Typical Malarkey.

This guy, in no way shape or form, resembles any American. He was the kid other kids picked on. Is he trying to get even, or is it that, he is a bigger loser, than Trump. What will he have when Trump is in Prison? Maybe, Professional, Therapy, is needed.

SIR....MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?!

is he one of the lawyers that was sick when they taught honesty ?

Now he is on the other side. Let's see hw Gowdy is going to spin the administration not complying with the Congressional investigators requests.

Trey is immoral too.

He left a cushy good paying job as a propagandist to make himself forever unemployable. And maybe end up committing felonies in the process

Sure this isn’t Stephen Miller’s brother by another mother?

How much are they paying him Money makes the world go around right?

Kick some ass!

He who has flipped his opinion since the Clinton impeachment? Oh why hitch his wagon to that post?

HowdyGowdy hypocritical freak

Malfoy’s hate for America runs deep!

$$$$$$$

You know this is the right guy for the job when liberals are outraged. They fear this guy.....for good reason.

There is no official impeachment inquiry. Report the news accurately or close the doors

He learn all the tricks of obstruction from Obama, Clinton and Holder. Benghazi - Fast and Furious. Just sayin

Who is paying for trump’s personal legal team?

He should have stayed in the movies.

Because he corrupts them all. We’ll be playing prior tapes where he stands up for the powers of Congress & contrasting them against his new views defending Trump - just like Lindsey Graham. Are morals and ethics a thing of the past? Disgraceful.

$$$👺$$$

* Cue Deliverance music. Banjo Boy is back.

Money talks. Gowdy walks

Why do most of Trumps cronies look like movie villains?

Can you just loop his video arguing that congress has oversight? Over and over every time he speaks.

GOP hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Oh snap! Shit just got real!

Because the touring production of 'Mice and Men' has ceased performing and ole Trey needed work...

Sell out!

If Trump!s people had already set the precedent, Hillary Clinton could have followed their lead and refuse to testify for Gowdy’s committee.

Trump is really scared.

I think the strategy will be to distract by taking us back to Benghazi. Just watch.

Trey Gowdy follows the law - the left must be very nervous...

I think he has cancer! That’s not a healthy face

Gowdy knows the rules and that democrats are violating them for political gain.

This guy could have had an acting career playing serial killers and nut cases

Trump finally lost confidence in Rudy. Rudy is the one who pushes him to be impeached. Rudy was once a hero in 9/11. He said when Trump is impeached, he can claim he is a hero . Why He said he is the whistleblower.

Give up against Trowdy you will never win some advice from Australia

TGowdySC was in office when Russia hacked the GOP so zero surprise. TrumpRussia=GOPRussia=NRARussia

They all now to party over country.

BoutDamnTime thank you TGowdySC

This Trey Gowdy?

Wow they’re desperate

Benghazi

Watch him stand behind Trumpas he talks. He look like he wants to disappear

Lizard person.

If he said that with holding information from the government was wrong in 2012, lets see how much information of Trump's he gives the the government in 2019 or 2020

WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump Thank God for America and President Trump!

Double hypocrite.

No shame.

🤮

Show TGowdySC is even more foolish than he looks. Impeach TrumpImpeachment

Corrupt

Another Batman-esk villain on the Trump team. It would be funny if it wasn't so deeply tragic. Our allies - men, women, children, babies, AND (since this is what tbe GOP seems to care most about) the unborn are being slaughtered because of Trump- get him out & make it stop!

Old Dickhead is back to work for Orange Man! What a joke, he lost on Benghazi now he's going to lose on impeachment. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yea he’s always been a low life

Snake

Hypocrisy at its best

He must really need the money. It sucks when people can just get up and walk away from you when you’re talking and you can’t do anything about it.

I used to have a great amount of respect for Mr. Gowdy, but now with this news he has completely lost that respect. Absolutely and completely lost.

Traitor, straight up, period!! All that corrupt Trump has done, has NO defence, period!!

Because it isn't legal. The House is not following their own rules and standards. They want the investigation before the vote to start the impeachment process (which is when the investigation should happen). This is essentially the Democrats looking for a fishing expidition.

TreyGowdy =LMAO

I don't know. He doesn't look real well. Like his blood has been drained. Or maybe that's just terror.

He's so smarmy ...

How did Bengazhi end up again?

Yeah I heard

Skelator returns

Gowdy has always been for misuse of power. He knew the Clinton emails was a fraudulent charge. He hates truth.

This should be amusing.

Trey Gowdy promised goodies,bribes & perhaps even a cabinet post if he takes orders well from his new master Trump

Caricature player now does not believe in the constitution and now playing for the kangaroo president.

Only the best people. More like the only ones left still supporting him people

He won’t last long. Like all of those before him, he’ll only tolerate so much sleaze and corruption before he bails out.

Good. He’s a sharp dude. 👍🏻

🤦🏻‍♀️

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

We cannot relax for one second.

Rudy II. Unfknblvbl. What lengths to avoid honesty.

Funny how you lame TDS afflicted corrupt MSM do easily use that term, Oversight. You liars know this isn’t anything remotely close to any legitimate Congressional Oversight. It’s a Coup and you hacks are complicit. BTW, what happened with that Russian collusion you pushed?

My Democrat party members that are taking pleasure in what Washington DC is trying to do don’t realize what this will pose to them one day if they step out of line. If they succeed in taking out someone powerful what will happen to you? This will effect all of us Dangerous

Ever wonder if the incentive or bait is a seat in SCOTUS when one becomes available?

DidiFrench Wasn't it just a day or so ago that he reportedly had refused Trump's offer/request? Wonder what changed his mind . . . He apparently lost his job at Fox to take on the Trump counsel assignment.

Must want to go to jail😁

Nice!

Absolute hypocrisy

So he’s looking for another loss like his Benghazi investigation?

He wouldn’t be doing this if he didn’t think the Democrats were up to no good. He smells a rat and Pelosi and Schiff are two rats to put the country through this just because they lost in 2016. I will never vote for any Democrat again, on any level. I hope they burn in hell.

Pitiful! They cracked that whip & broke out the dirt🤣

Innocent people don’t need people like this lawyer on his side.

Sold! To the highest bidder.

I never knew anyone who wanted to work so hard to be miserable.

Gowdy is a loser that left with his tail between his legs. Trump picks the best! 😂😂😂

So he will immediately turn over all documents requested by the house and cooperate in all ways?

He's going to destroy Trump. Y'all should understand that getting closer to Trump will make it easier to destroy Trump.

Bad news for schiff and the rest of the her haw gang. Troy coming after you lot CreepyJoeBiden

Gowdy never had a soul. He only was in it for Hillary's blood.

Correction: fight against the DEMOCRAT impeachment inquiry. There hasn’t been a vote. Until there is one, this is NOT a House inquiry. Hire a journalist. They’ll explain it for ya. 🇺🇸

Don’t let him say one f’n word on any news show until he explains the flip flop on how he feels about congressional oversight. Do not let him control the narrative. If he wants screen time, he explains himself first. This should go for all other politicians as well

Let the hypocrisy begin.

He needs a hamburger.

Another opinion from Lefty FoxNews WSJ

Yay! Trey Gowfy moving out from the stagnation of Congress and into a place where it’s anything but stagnant.

But her (Ivanka's) e-mails!!!!!!!

Gowdy is just not that stupid🤨. Maybe Trump has something over him. ‘Alright Gowdy, yur-up!’

Speaking of paying too much for a haircut.....

TheBestPeople lolololol

political hack personified

Well I hope when he starts making his rounds on all of his shows that you make him accountable for his statements during his Benghazi quest HallieJackson mitchellreports SRuhle SteveKornacki

TGowdySC This guy has swamp all over him. I wonder how many innocent people he convicted as a prosecutor? He probably has something like a gun with notches in it for each one.

LOL

Maybe he can get the crooked democrats to file a formal impeachment and hold a vote

It will be interesting when they quote him to himself regarding impeachment. Because he was rabid on going for it before....

Daddy's dirty he always was dirty he's a southern white man with an education trying to put down the black guy don't think he's not.

Gollum has left the cave again

Goon

Good, well i trust he will encourage his colleagues to turn over all requested documents just like he preached in 2012

Because you did such a great job on Benghazi? Talk about a very expensive nothing burger 🙄. Maybe he needs another fall guy... 💩

a big joke working for a bigger joke.

Guess we can lock him up too. He was disgraceful in the bogus Benghazi hearings

He won't last long because if you can't cover up all of Trumps lies then he'll fire you and he'll get you sent to jail like all the others that tried to help him

Trump/Gowdy 2020

🤣 “all the best people”

What a big dummy he is lol

IT IS GOING TO BE SO NICE SEEING THIS JOKER GO DOWN WITH TRUMP..

Slime.

Fuckheads!

Almost like you’re implying conservatives have principles...

The deplorable's unite. Just look at those supporting the President, while turning their backs on our Nation. Treasonous.

Gowdy knows how dishonest these Democrats are.

Once agin you OMIT information in order to make an impact on the uninformed. Your heading should be: “advocate of Congress's LEGAL oversight powers” It’s important to point out LEGAL since what Schiff & Pelosi are doing is ILLEGAL & Supreme Court will AGREE—just wait!

I have lost all respect for this pathetic excuse of a man.

Wow I thought Trey Gowdy was a straight shooter but evidently not if he’s joining Trump. Sad !!

There is something rather 'Stephen Miller-ish' about Trey Gowdy.

Trump keeps resurrecting some of the worst swamp creatures..

TRUMP 2020!!

More pond scum added to the TrumpCrimeSyndicate

realDonaldTrump Laughing my ass off! That turd couldn’t prove anything with Hillary after wasting multiple millions of dollars on hearings! You seem to hire nothing but failures for your attorneys!

He is awesome, I look forward to his insight, guts, and no nonsense. Yea! 👏👏👏👏👏

Klan life wasn't interesting enough I suppose.

Awesome...he’ll finally get to lock someone up after endless hours of congressional testimony. I’m proud of him for continuing to chase those goals. Oh wait...he’s on the defense? What a horrible decision maker he is. He just looks for ways to lose, huh?

Something here stinks like trey Gouda 😂💩

Now the inbreds are represented.

Pompeo and gowdy- bad people back together to damage the country some more

Really Gowdy 🥾kick

Careful NBC, your Democrat flag is starting to show.

A other criminal joins the criminals

Legal oversight

Trey Gowdy looks even more ghoulish than Giuliani.

Bottom of the ficking barrel

probably the most vile Republican of the last decade.. he will be a good fit

And just when it seems couldn't get more interesting... This guy is an excellent choice.

This guy is grade A 100 percent puke

What a juvenile headline. Are your social media kids 12? There are many who advocate oversight as Gowdy STILL does but also oppose witch hunts and coups. Clearly, NBC whose employees sleep with sources feels coups are ok.

Keep playing this every single time he shows his face on camera.

Sold his soul

Laughable, absurd hypocrisy reaches new heights. Each day brings a new level from the GOP & its neutered members.

Wow, why jump onto a sinking ship? Not a smart rat

TGowdySC so the guy you are signing up to defend just TrumpBetrayedTheKurds

He never cared one bit about Congress's oversight powers. He only wanted to harm Democratic leaders he viewed as enemies, and he abused his authority to do so.

This being doesn't look healthy.

Pathetic

Has anyone ever seen a rat jump on a sinking ship?

Fake news is pushing this fake impeachment talk to help democrats steal away the election from american people. Too bad for y'all, all of this fake impeachment talk and inquiry discussions is still not going to help any of those crooked democrats struggling campaigns.

Former GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy joins Trump's impeachment defense teamFormer South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy, who led the Republican investigation into Hillary Clinton and the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, will help defend Pres. Trump as he faces the Democratic-led impeachment investigation. He is sooo effective.... I guess he changed his mind. Reporting yesterday suggested he wasn’t going to do it. What happened? No wonder Fox News terminated him!!!

Fox News terminates Trey Gowdy as the former GOP congressman joins Trump's legal defenseThe former South Carolina lawmaker's ousting came a day after it was widely reported that the White House tapped Gowdy to join its legal defense team to help President Donald Trump combat the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry. Terminates his employment or actually terminates him? Seems harsh. How would anyone tell? Wow. Can we actually say good for Fox News? Hopefully, Gowdy will also go down with the ship.

Fox News Drops Trey Gowdy As Contributor After He Joins Donald Trump’s Legal TeamFox News Channel has dropped former Rep. Trey Gowdy as a contributor after reports that he is joining President Donald Trump’s legal team as outside counsel for the impeachment inquiry. A Fox… Was someone off their meds today? The Fox News spokesperson was supposed to say “Trey Gowdy is stepping down as Fox News contributor in order to help the White House prosecute Hillary, Obama and Comey.” But since Paul Ryan with the Murdochs on the board now?
