'Not about removing Trump': Trey Gowdy argues impeachment is Democratic scheme to take Senate

Trey Gowdy said the Democrats' impeachment strategy is an acknowledgment they believe President Trump will be reelected in 2020.

A former Republican congressman from South Carolina, Gowdy argued the Democrats instead are angling to take control of the Senate to rein in Trump.

"The impeachment inquiry, investigation, votes, and ultimate refusal to transmit articles are not about removing Trump from office. Rather, it is a tacit acknowledgment he will be reelected in November of 2020. The plan now is to use impeachment to neuter that second term with a Democrat-controlled Senate," Gowdy said in a Fox News opinion piece published Thursday.

Gowdy, who recently confirmed he will not be a member of the legal team representing Trump during his impeachment trial after some confusion late last year, has been heavily critical of the Democrats' impeachment effort and named the GOP senators he believes are being targeted.

So wish that he would not have retired. Trey was always on point, no beating around the bush with him. Really miss him.

Some say he is full of hot air and no action - but I say any good person who is for Trump and supports Trump is a good American in my book. I listen to every word Howdy as to say. He's been in (Congress) and knows what really goed on with those dumb Democrats.

I think Gowdy left because no matter how many times he nailed someone to the wall with a line of questioning there are never any repercussions.
