Does the FBIrecovery of Hillary's emails mean that Gowdy will cancel her Oct 22nd appearance
one man's opinion...

Posted on 09/24/2015 11:14:16 AM PDT by ken5050

Hilary Clinton is scheduled to testify before the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Oct 22nd. She has said she will make only one appearance before the committee. Chairman Gowdy has said repeatedly that he will NOT have Clinton appear until is he "reasonably certain that the committee has had access to all of Clinton's relevant emails."

This of course makes a lot of sense, and kudos to Gowdy for saying it, over and over. If you don't know what Hillary has, or has not, sent or received via her home-brewed email system, you can't question her about them.

With the leak a few days ago, that the FBI has successfully recovered Hillary's deleted emails, one assumes that means there are now 30,000+ emails out there which the committee has not seen, nor will get to see in the next 30 days, before Hillary testifies.

Indeed, the FBI has only said that it will take "months" before they finish their investigation, and presumably release the recovered emails.

If Chairman Gowdy, who I greatly respect, and who I believe has done an excellent job, is to be taken at his word, then don't we have to believe that he will cancel her scheduled appearance on Oct 22nd?

“She has said she will make only one appearance before the committee.”

She may or may not get a pass on her crimes, but I am pretty sure she is NOT the one who will decide this.

So, if I don’t want to testify more than once at a Congressional hearing, I can tell them to go to hell on a request for a second appearance?

From another thread:

House Benghazi Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy — a former federal prosecutor — made clear through a spokesman that he has no intention to cross swords with the FBI.

“Chairman Gowdy has not asked the FBI about its investigation into Secretary Clinton’s unusual and unprecedented email arrangement, nor has the Bureau offered a briefing to the committee,” Benghazi panel spokesman Jamal Ware said

The FBI is corrupt, just like the IRS, DHS, CIA, EPA, etc.. 0dunga has total control of all of these agencies, their people, and their actions. Anyone not on board gets thrown out or demoted to meaningless positions.

Has Hillary been indicted yet? Is Lois Lerner in jail? Or Koskinen, or Gina McCarthy who also blatantly lied to Congress and oversees an agency who contaminated the Animas River? Any charges there? What about Huma or Cheryl Mills? No, no, no and no and no!!!

The FBI would NEVER allow Gowdy to see anything 0dunga doesn't WANT them to see. In other words, he'll only see meaningless garbage.

How is it Hillary can tell a congressional committee what it is will and will not do, or when she will or will not appear before the committee.

Somehow she has more rights as an American than you or I would ever have, I can see me called before a congressional committee and would say to them I will make only one appearance, I’m busy working on the campaign, the Ted Cruz campaign, I can’t be bothered by the progressive liberal democrat/rino communist uni-party.

Hear that clang clang that’s the sound the jailhouse bars closing behind me.

How can she make that decision? If she is subpoenaed for 100 hearings, why does she think she only has to show once?

Postpone is the preferred term.

Her duty to be held to account is paramount.

TREY GOWDY needs to keep ALL his communications about his questioning of Hillary OUT of his emails, phone calls, or Internet communications.

You can BET 0dunga has his NSA copying every word he speaks on the phone or writes via email about investigation of Hillary to be FORWARDED STRAIGHT TO HILLARY'S PEOPLE.

Gowdy should AVOID discussions via email or his regular phones/cellphones.. Engage in IN PERSON discussions at a remote location wherever possible.

“If Chairman Gowdy, who I greatly respect, and who I believe has done an excellent job ...”

I hold the exact opposite opinion of Chairman Gowdy. I think he’s done next to nothing, except to warm a seat, since he was appointed by Boehner in May of last year.
I further believe he will do everything in his power to kick this can down the road for as long as possible, as instructed by his bosses.
Why? Fisting his forehead to her Heinous’ apparent diktat that she will attend only one hearing would seem to support my opinion. With whatever deference Clinton deserves, she should still understand that she will front-and-center to any hearing she receives a summons to attend.

She has lied repeatedly. Gowdy has done nothing.
If Obama wants to pardon her, make him do it.

Your points seem entirely reasonable to me.
I do pray for continued safety for Congressman Gowdy.
Clintons are capable of anything when cornered.
