Liberals are flexing their skills at crafting improbable conspiracy theories after the news that Trey Gowdy is resigning from the House Ethics Committee.
In a letter to Paul Ryan, Gowdy says it’s too much of a workload:
Gowdy letter to Ryan: I tender my resignation from the House Ethics Committee pending your designation of a replacement..Thank you again for this opportunity and thank you to my colleagues on the Committee for their hard work and friendship.

Commence lib freak out:
Trey Gowdy has resigned from the House Ethics Cmte!

REPEAT
Trey Gowdy has resigned from the House Ethics Cmte!
Maybe it has to do with him taking bribes from anti-Hillary groups while leading the failed Benghazi witch hunt. Or just being a corrupt Republican in general. Adios.
Why is Trey Gowdy resigning from the Ethics Committee?

Why did Jason Chaffetz resign from Congress?
Why is Paul Ryan protecting that toady Devin Nunes?
I’d bet my bottom dollar the answers to all 3 questions are connected.
🔥Trey #Gowdy submitted his letter of resignation from House Ethics on Friday.🤔
Unlike other committees, Ethics has an *EQUAL* number of Rs & Ds. If Gowdy faced an ethics probe, he'd have to RECUSE👉🏼Cmte would have a Democratic advantage.🤨

Captain Obvious here, but there's a story behind Trey Gowdy's resignation. It's worth finding and reporting. Either Gowdy is guilty, or he's getting out of the way of the Mueller train. Or both.

Reminder to all Republicans getting off Island before Mueller storm arrives--BOAT LEAVES AT NOON. First one on board is Trey Gowdy.

So… is Gowdy hiding something or just too low energy for the job? Hmmm…
