that the corruption he's engaged in is leading to a place where he, and/or others, can be prosecuted for it.

He’s going back to the job that he loves. I wish everyone has the opportunity to find work that they like to do. It’s a shame that politicians are only honest after they don’t have to run for anything.

He has some atonement to make, but I like to think that almost everyone can find redemption.

This particular man is atrocious and way beyond "some atonement."

I’ll accept honest contrition from anyone.

Doesn’t mean I have to like them orvthat they shouldn’t face consequences.

Who are "some of us who don't accept" that Trey Gowdy is an atrocious man?

An atrocious man/woman is lik Kim Il Un of North Korea, The leader of Myamar, and other despots throughout the world. Gowdy is a brain-washed, selfish moron, but I wouldn't use the term atrocious.

he's been an amazingly bad politician.

His legacy is going to be the square peg/round hole attempt to find something criminal with his Benghazi crapola. Never has wood been so splintered.

but unfortunately this mea culpa is self-serving at best. I expect that he will be nominated to take a higher level position in this WH.
