Yeah, but he'll need "permission" retire. IIRC, any member of Congress can put a hold on his retirement until such time as he is "cleared." I'd laugh my ass off if he finished his time as Chairman and was then seconded to some field station garrison commander to be his bitch until the investigation(s) finished.

Congress doesn't mete out justice - 'con'gress is the opposite of 'pro'gress and all they REALLY do is conduct political theater for their base.
Lets all be honest with ourselves - if we are talking about things like "results" and "justice" then Trey Gowdy was nothing more than the Adam Schiff of the House Select Committee on Benghazi...
...a guy who spent two and a half years and 8 million dollars to tell the American people that he couldn't find anything

Beohner and Ryan and McCarthy, oh my - Beohner and Ryan and McCarthy, oh my - Beohner and Ryan and McCarthy, oh my... they're little more than Dorothy and Scarecrow and Toto wandering down the yellow brick road waiting for the trees to start throwing apples at them.

Congress doesn't mete out justice, it isn't their job and it's WAAAY outside of their collective skill set...
...the DOJ metes out just-us and they have no intention of punishing themselves

People wonder if this could be satire?
Of course it's satire - our entire government is a satire - it has been for generations.

Besides, ‘What difference, at this point, does it make?'

As I've mentioned before, Task & Purpose is just Buzzfeed wearing camo.

Box quoting Clinton is satire

His cynicism is crushing.
