Once again we, the people are fed bread and circuses to placate us. Once again, the Republicats and Democans conspire against their constituents. This country is RULED, not governed, by the worst people on the planet.

These are people who have never had or held a real job. These are people, who if not in Versailles on the Potomac, would be walking our streets, robbing little old ladies SS checks and sexually assaulting our children.

They are ALL traitors, either active or passive. Arrest them all; let God sort them out.

Gowdy did not grill Starr. And Gowdy — the chairman who has access to the intelligence the committee has been gathering for five months, the accomplished prosecutor who is not fool enough to ask a key question to which he did not know the answer — did not fill in the information gap. He abruptly ended the hearing, content to leave the policy shrouded in mystery.

This does not sound like Trey Gowdy.

Everybody knows that Benghazi is only a republican scheme to raise money from the right wing kooks.

"We're really, really close to nailing him, but we need you to send more money."

They’re DemocRATS. Being a miserable individual is one of the requirements.

One problem is that were GOP Senators that were also in on what was going on in Benghazi.

I believe that at least 90% was due to Democrats but somehow I feel there were a few Republicans that were involved. Any stonewall in Washington is because the corruption includes all politicians. We are seeing corruption everywhere. Government got too big and open to this kind of environment.

Just wondering, could it be that attacking or seeming to attack the President is a loser during an election when he is not on the ballot. But rather attacking his policies and therefore his minions who backed him is good strategy for a midterm cycle? I am not a political adviser, nor do I care for RINOs. This is just a question that has popped into my head. Commments?

Why we were in Benghazi is probably bi-partisan. Key Repubs won’t want to go there.

You nailed it. The real story is not what was going on at the Benghazi consulate, but at the much larger "CIA Annex." That is not being discussed and it is not going to be investigated. Find out what was happening at the annex and you'll find out why both parties want the whole issue to go away. Bipartisan, indeed.

Republicans make some noise but they are as protective of Democrats in scandal as the Democrats are. Republicans consider the Democrat Party to be the natural rulers and won’t do anything to really upset them, even should they win all the elections.

I’m giving a 90% chance this is Beckel’s October Surprise. He not understanding what TEA is, doesn’t realize we will be overjoyed if Benghazi takes down our most powerful RINOS, who are having to pay to keep their name out of circulation re: Benghazi.

I’m going with Graham, McCain, King (NY), hopefully McConnell and likely Cornyn.

This White House has corrupted the executive branch to the point where every agency and office is a partisan political tool.

Why Won’t Republicans Get to the Bottom of Benghazi?

I think the answer is fairly obvious: Don't ask questions the answer to which would require you to do something you regard as counterproductive.

We know that providng weapons to a named enemy of the United States (Al Quaida and its affiliates) is treason, by every definition of the term. Treason is not only 'a high crime or misdemeanor;' it carries a death sentence. That would require the House to bring charges that they KNOW will likely backfire because of the MSM. Gowdy knows that Boehner et al. don't have the stomach for it. He'll ask and give the witness a chance to blow the whistle, but he won't allow himself to be characterized as on a witch-hunt, much less wearing a white hood as the Slave Party would paint it.

Gowdy may have a way to get there up his sleeve, but we must allow him to develop this his way as he is the best we've got on the line. I'm glad McCarthy is staying with it, because I believe that it makes what Gowdy might do more palatable.
