| As we wait for the Clinton emails to drop – will she, this time, dress down the adviser who called John Boehner “louche, alcoholic [and] lazy”? – let’s quickly catch up on Trey Gowdy’s career. | |

| Rep Trey Gowdy (R-SC) winks at Planned Parenthood Pres Cecile Richards during today's Hse Oversight Cmte he... https://t.co/BRh6EeMuec | |
| A colleague told C-Span in an interview that Gowdy planned to retire from Congress, after such a brilliant start, at the end of this term, prompting reports that that would happen. | |

| GOP member says @RepFleming misconstrued comments @TGowdySC made at a GOP conference meeting http://t.co/FUGdYiHDSK pic.twitter.com/0CiUcoR8My | |
| One reason Gowdy might not retire: outgoing speaker John Boehner met with him secretly to encourage him to run for House majority leader, the No.2 position, according to Politico: | |
