Looks like Trey Gowdy, who talks a good game is too much of a coward and will not become an attorney for Trump after all. Last week there were reports first claiming that Gowdy would not join the Trump team, then later that he would join. Now, the New York Times (not exactly all that reputable) Is claiming that Gowdy has chickened out and will not join the Trump team after all. Since this is the New York Times making this claim, there’s a chance it could be bogus , but I’ve seen enough of Trey Gowdy to know he’s all steak and no sizzle. Too bad for Gowdy, Fox News “terminated” him last week when word about him joining the Trump team came out.

Former Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy may not be returning to Washington D.C. after all.
President Donald Trump was thought to have secured Gowdy’s services to help him through the impeachment process, but a New York Times report published Sunday said the arrangement has fallen through.
“Now, according to two people familiar with events, Mr. Gowdy is never expected to join the team. And Trump advisers are back to square one, searching for a different lawyer,” Times’ reporters Maggie Haberman and Annie Karni.
The administration had previously announced that Gowdy would not be able to join the president’s legal team until January because of lobbying regulations. Gowdy was also ousted from his role at Fox News, after it was announced that he would be helping Trump through the impeachment process.
