YET
Gee, I wonder if Hitlery was aware of this?
Judge Napolitano says it won’t be till sometime in 2017 or later because only the DOJ can compel Clinton to comply.
Shouldn’t they at least send a letter to the DOJ to ask for them to do it?
As I have said, Gowdy is all bark and no bite.
The Obama Regime is a Criminal Enterprise.
Can anyone brief me on the laws regarding communications / email for federal employees?
Either that or point towards a web site that can?
Don’t worry. Obama will be issuing a blanket pardon for EVERYONE in his Admin if/when we are able to eject him from the White House. NO ONE will ever be held accountable for all the criminality. It’s the way the Dems, with their sycophant Media, operate.
My objection is that, just as the public and the commentariat seem confused about what the committee is for and what it can do, so does the committee. Chairman Gowdy is determined to run the case like a criminal investigation, but it is not one. It is a public-accountability investigation. It is not legal but political in nature – and I mean “political” not in the pejorative sense of partisanship but in the classic sense of accountability for the misuse and abuse of political power.
Several important things flow from that foundational premise. It is often prudent for a prosecutor to take a very long time to undertake a complex investigation involving transactions that occur largely outside the United States. The case is put together in secret, behind the scenes, because the objective is to construct an airtight case that convinces twelve jurors beyond a reasonable doubt to convict people who will be sent to jail for many years. That takes however long it takes.
That is not the case with a public-accountability investigation. Such oversight investigations need to work quickly to correct wayward policies and hold up to public scrutiny officials who may not be up to their weighty responsibilities. The idea is to demonstrate convincingly that changes need to be made, not to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that people need to go to jai
“For ten months, the committee takes virtually no action and conveys the impression that it is not exactly tripping over itself to get to the bottom of Benghazi.”
A political investigation by Congress will go nowhere as long as members of the GOP are compromised. What secrets about their personal lives do they not wish to see the light of day? Nothing but extortion explains the unwillingness of the GOP to fight.
And note that McCarthy wants us to believe that he has some inside knowledge of what the committee has been doing for 8 months. I really doubt that he does. We'll see when Gowdy puts Hillary under oath in a public hearing. That will be a popular show.
And everyone should note that the Hillary EMail scandal is a direct result of the Trey Gowdy probe into Benghazi. One would think that would be enough for McCarthy. Apparently not.
And, lastly, I would bet $100 to win $10 that McCarthy reads FR. He might even be posting here.
Don't worry, Andrew, I won't. I'll stick with the Senate Judiciary Committee and see what happens.
Thanks for posting this. I hope it gets a lot of FR viewing. A large number of the comments on some threads here amount to wanting congress to overstep their constitutional bounds (for the sake of constitutionalism). Justifiable frustration, but too often woeful ignorance of the separation of powers.
“...isn’t a criminal investigation.”
But the seriousness of the charges should be more than enough, right? (Gotta love throwing their own standards right back at them)
I saw a speaker on Fox yesterday afternoon who didn’t even think what Hillary did was a crime at the time. She said it may have been a fire-able offense if you were a gov’t employee, but at the time it was a policy and not a law. I don’t know if this is true, but would like to hear I anyone at FR knows.
Why can’t Hillary just turn everything over? If she was so dang honest, what does she have to hide? All of a sudden, Gowdy is on trial. Hillary is the piece of crap who is hiding things. The focus is on her.
Hillary claimed that the server was secure because it was originally set up for “Bill”, suggesting the former president has security protocols. If they could get their hands on that server, can you imagine the porn they will find.....
Wonder if Hillary will do a Al Sharpton deal fire destroyed all his records?.
ALERT! Fire breaks out at the Clinton’s residence in Chappaquiddick.
Didn’t start yet? Oops never mind.
