Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) hasn’t joined President Donald Trump’s legal team to help him with the House impeachment inquiry, and apparently he doesn’t know if he ever will.
“Will you be joining the White House fight?” CBS anchor Margaret Brennan asked Gowdy on Sunday.
“I have no idea,” the former congressman responded. “I don’t represent the President as of today.”
“I don’t know what if anything will exist in January,” he added. “It may be over.”
Gowdy joked that he doesn’t “even know if I’m going to be alive in January.”
“If Dallas doesn’t start playing better, I won’t be alive in January,” he said.
In early October, several outlets reported that President Donald Trump had tapped Gowdy as his legal representation in his battle against the impeachment investigation, though New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said that the offer had not been made yet.
Apparently Trump doesn’t want a legal team anyway.
“I don’t have teams,” he told reporters on Friday. “Everyone’s talking about teams. I’m the team.”

Gowdy’s practicing his tap dancing. Spanky needs defense lawyers.
Gowdy is nothing but offensive.
Very few lawyers who work with Trump in any capacity come out with their reputation intact. Just ask Cohen, Guliani, Barr, Sessions, Whittaker, Dowd, among probably others.
If you don’t say or do the stupid things Trump needs done, he throws you overboard.
Maybe Gowdy deserves that job as penance for his Benghazi perfidy.
ETA: and who really cares what Gowdy does? Perry Mason, he ain’t. And the crack about he may not live long because of how the Cowboys are playing…what? Is he that incoherent or an inveterate gambler in debt to the mafia?
Why would he? I mean, Benghazi is very unlikely to come up.
Benghazi Gowdy will have to eat crow if he joins the Criminal-In-Chief’s legal team.
Word to the wise, you’ve extracted yourself from ETTD right now…
“Don’t be a fool” by joining an additional criminal enterprise, notwithstanding your RepubliCON affiliation!
I wish Trey would adopt some of his more serious,
less jocular Benghazi demeanor for discussions
about Donald’s high crimes and misdemeanors.
He’s developed quite a jovial attitude about investigations post-retirement.
