(11,767 posts)Same reason that Adam Schiff will face no real legal problems even with Trump and his ilk squawking about his "lying" during the introduction to the information about the transcript. To anyone who heard the reading of the transcript it was obvious that Schiff was doing a hyperbolic interpretation of the implications of the transcript and even though I personally think it was both "very cool" and not politically smart; Schiff is clearly protected from any legal repercussions.
The sad thing is that Gowdy was not under oath during those hearings and I am not sure he was officially submitting anything into evidence thus running afoul of the law.
He is to be sure a scumbag, disgusting, and typical republican hack, but I am not sure that there was any legal jeopardy.
I could be and would be happy to be wrong. I would love to see A BUNCH of Republicans in jail including Gowdy, Jordan, Gaetz, O'Connell, Barr, McCarthy, and of course Trump and all his cronies.
