Rep. Trey Gowdy: Either Petraeus Will Testify Voluntarily Over Benghazi or We Will Subpoena Him
The Blaze ^ | 11/10/2012 | Madeleine Morgensten

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Friday vowed to subpoena outgoing CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus if he won’t testify voluntarily about the Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

Gowdy said that while he regretted the “personal ramifications” of Petraeus’ sudden resignation over an extramarital affair, it would not stop Congress from hearing from him about the assault on the consulate that left four Americans dead.

“The fact that he’s resigned and had an affair has nothing to do with whether or not he’s gonna be subpoenaed to Congress,” Gowdy said on Fox News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.” “I hope we don’t have to subpoena a four-star general and the former CIA director, I hope he would come voluntarily, but if he won’t he will be subpoenaed and none of what has happened today is a defense to a subpoena.”

The CIA has come under sharp scrutiny in the wake of the Benghazi attacks. Petraeus had been slated to testify Thursday at closed congressional hearings before the House and Senate intelligence committees, but acting CIA Director Michael Morell is now expected to take his place.

“There’s no way we can get to the bot of Benghazi without David Petraeus,” Gowdy said. “While he might not be around next week because he’s got personal matters, the week after that and the week after that, this excuse will run stale.”

Probably because we love and appreciate real men. Liberal women usually don’t want a real man and if they do get one, the first order of business is to immasculat him...lol.

“Probably because we love and appreciate real men. Liberal women usually don’t want a real man and if they do get one, the first order of business is to immasculat him...lol.”

One of our conservative younger relatives had a leftie try to do that to him this past year.

Fortunately, he knew this conservative female therapist as a friend before this started. He scheduled a couple of appointments with her to see what he was doing wrong.

In the middle of the second appt, the therapist said the session was over.

She told him, “You don’t need therapy, you need a woman who loves a real man and doesn’t try to deball you 24/7. Walk away and don’t look back!”

He did, and now he can laugh.

During his last and shortened session he described some of the on going immasculation attempts and how being around her was like walking on egg shells.

The therapist said that being around this dangerous loser was like trying to walk over mine fields, the loser put around him all the time. The “mine fields” were her control mechanism to avoid any serious discussions and what he wanted out of the relationship.

Now, he says his first clue was her Obozo/Biden stickers on her car well after the 2008 election and how she worshiped the Obozo.

“Lol...sounds like he dodged a bullet with that one.”

Or as his therapist said, “Dodged a life filled with land mines/IEDS put there by the psycho.”
