Trey Gowdy’s Hillary hypocrisy: He’s the last person who should be demanding Clinton’s private emailAmid the press furor over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton opting to use private email, and not a government email address, some are now raising important questions about if those who are investigating her – such as the chairmen of congressional committees who deal with sensitive information during the course of investigations – are themselves using private email.
Take, for example, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), who succeeded Rep .Darrell Issa (R-CA) to be head of the House’s Government Oversight committee. Chaffetz’s business card lists a Gmail address, as shown here by ABC News:

But Chaffetz may not be alone in doing official business with private email. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), who heads the House’s Select Committee on Benghazi, is leading the charge in calling for investigations of Clinton’s email.
Yet it’s important to note that Gowdy maintains his own domain treygowdy.com (http://treygowdy.com). For example, one campaign contact email he used was info@treygowdy.com. While it’s not unusual to maintain such a thing particularly for campaign work, it’s not clear that Gowdy utilizes this email solely for political campaign work and not congressional tasks. AlterNet asked Gowdy’s office through both a telephone inquiry followed up by an email communication to his press secretary about how he segregates work he conducts through his personal domain vs congressional work. We also inquired about where his personal email server is stored and how it is secured. We also attempted to contact Gowdy campaign manager George Ramsey, but he did not return our phone calls. In 48 hours, the deadline we set, we received no response.
We weren’t the only ones this week to ask Gowdy about his personal email address and fail to receive a response. Correct The Record’s David Brock sent an open letter with the same inquiry:
