Gowdy: Benghazi probe needed to boost US security
Associated Press ^ | Dec 10, 2014 11:47 AM EST | Matthew Daly

Posted on 12/10/2014 9:08:03 AM PST by Olog-hai

The chairman of a special House committee investigating the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya said Wednesday he is “keenly aware” that many people from both parties believe there is nothing left to investigate after a series of congressional and internal reviews, including a House report that found no wrongdoing by Obama administration appointees.

But Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said that “some of those very same folks who now tell us to move on did not believe we should have investigated Benghazi in the first place.” […]

“We should not move on until there is a complete understanding of how the security environment described by our own government in court documents was allowed to exist,” Gowdy said. “We should not move on until there is a complete understanding of why requests for additional security were denied, by whom they were denied and why an ambassador trusted to represent us in a dangerous country was not trusted when he asked for more security.” …

The investigation is over as far as I’m concerned. Radical muslims were allowed to kill 4 Americans because we have a radical Muslim as President. Just one more example in a long line of examples that Democrats in all their brilliance put the enemy into the nations highest office.

Trey Gowdy was an excellent prosecutor and I expect to see those skills put to good use in the coming months.

Make us proud, Trey.

Why did Hillary and Obama use US Taxpayer provided funds, equipment, personnel and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya? I thought the Democrats hated military interventions, but Hillary and Obama suddenly think it’s OK?
Where did Qadaffi’s gold go? Someone should ask Hillary and Obama.

Congressman Trey Gowdy is truly a shining star.
His love and true dedication to the United States of America is plain to see.
How our country was hoodwinked into twice electing a radical Socialist and America-hating Muslim as President is beyond me.
Trey Gowdy would make a superb Attorney General someday in the future.

I agree on all counts.

I just wish he could be cloned a bunch of times!

Trey Gowdy will make an excellent President someday—he has the guts to do what must be done—most of all I believe him, and believe him to be a great patriot.

Did anyone see Gowdy on Greta's show just no? He said, he thinks, in the final analysis we will find out the Turkish ambassador was in Benghazi simply because he was a friend to US ambassador Stevens. His whole demeanor changed.

Someone has gotten to him? He said he sees no evidence there was any reason for the Turk to be present.....what was he doing there ? Just a visit. Not in Tripoli, but in the most dangerous city in the world.

Someone has gotten to him!

I hope you are correct. i have been a Gowdy watcher for a few years now, and he looked like he was tentative, would not make eye contact with Greta, and was astonished at his answers....or excuses he made for Hillary....such as....I think he was there because the Turkish ambassador was his friend. He was hundreds of miles away from the Turkish consulate in Tripoli as was the U.S . Ambassador. Why not say....that is something we need to get to the bottom of.

I hope no one has gotten to Gowdy....he has been a rare bright light of integrity. We will see

Libya, Egypt, Syria....what do they have in common?

They all had dictators who were keeping Jihadists under control.
Son of devout Muslim father from Kenya and step-son of devout Muslim father from Indonesia, Buraq Hussein Obama was not going to allow suppression of Jihadists.

If Gowdy is a skilled prosecutor, he is unlikely to put forward any charges without having sufficient EVIDENCE. You will not see him throwing out charges without establishing pro-forma evidence.

I am willing to give him time to develop the case, methodically and systematically.

A believable American patriot....I must be dreaming. I really do like Trey Gowdy - he’s a real cowboy.

I think Bengazi officially makes it impossible for Hillary to win a national election.
