In the year since the Benghazi terrorist attack took the lives of four Americans, House Republicans have continually pressed the Obama administration for answers regarding events preceding the attack, the administration’s response, and what has been done to protect the lives of Americans going forward. Those efforts will continue with three House committee hearings this week. Here’s more:
The House Foreign Affairs Committee holds a hearing Wednesday, September 18th at 10 am ET titled: “Benghazi: Where is the State Department Accountability?” The committee notes that four employees placed on administration leave following the attack have recently been re-assigned within the department. This hearing “will examine why no one inside the State Department has yet been held accountable for the failures and deficiencies identified” in the Benghazi Accountability Review Board’s report. [TUNE IN HERE ] The House Oversight & Government Reform Committee holds a hearing Thursday, September 19th at 9:30 am ET with Benghazi Accountability Review Board co-chairs Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering and Admiral Michael G. Mullen, USN (Ret.), members of the Department’s security panel that conducted a review, and family members of those killed in the attack. The hearing will focus on the review board’s investigation and questions that still remain regarding the attack and the administration’s response. [TUNE IN HERE] The House Armed Services Committee will hold a hearing Thursday, September 19th at 3:30 pm ET on lessons from Benghazi and the Defense Department’s ability to respond to similar attacks today.

Earlier this year, House Republicans released an interim report on Benghazi outlining the findings of five committees of jurisdiction investigating the attacks, and laying out next steps – including additional hearings and an ongoing effort to obtain access to witnesses and information being withheld by the Obama administration. “It is disgraceful that one year later, even though a number of the terrorists who participated in this attack have been identified, not a single one has been brought to justice, Speaker Boehner said last week, pledging that Republicans “will press forward with our investigation until we have answers, full accountability, and justice.”
So, only Patrick Kennedy testifies today?
Are they late getting started or is just me.
Standard operating procedure. I cannot stand tardiness.
Cathrine Herridge was just on Fox saying that they will be trying to get to bottom of top secret cable in August,before the attack, basically predicting an attack. This cable was so alarming that it went all the way to top...Panetta, Dempsy and Ham...not to mention Hillary. I did not catch it all.
Here we go - 13 minutes late
Is this the right ink?

Hey hon! Great to see you back :)
But make sure to keep rested too :^}
Thanks! Guess the other one was the press conference.
Engle begins by touting non political THEN goes to “Obama no more responsible for Benghazi than Bush for 9/11.”
The closes with “I hope we won’t be doing ‘gotcha” like some other committees”.

A Libyan police officer has been killed in a car bomb attack in the country’s eastern city of Benghazi, the latest in a series of violent attacks in the North African country.
According to an unnamed security official, Imraja El-Uraibi, the head of a criminal investigations unit in the city, was fatally injured on Tuesday afternoon after a bomb planted under his car went off in Benghazi’s Salmani area.
Wasn’t it amazing! Obama and Hillary tried and absolved from any wrongdoing - before the hearing started!
Engle and his ilk are there to provide cover for obama and clinton...it will become so obvious, they could care less about truth and consequences.
PK statement has nothing to say about what happened in the ARB process. He’s only talking about what has been done to increase security.
At least he did not call it a phoney scandal.
Royce question on who named ARB members and staff.
Seems that every head of police investigations in Benghazi gets assassinated sooner or later. Go figure.
Staffer Elizabeth Jones, for one.
I think this is the third person in the police dept that has been eliminated. No one wants to find the truth and when they get close they are eliminated it seems.
My feed keeps crashing. Will have to just follow thread.
Royce refutes PK assertion that four demotions suffices for accountability.
Engle wants to ignore what happened and instead wants to peer into the future.
