A GOP member of the House Select Committee on Benghazi says “all options are on the table” to gain access to Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
Rep. Susan Brooks (R-Ind.) said the full House could even vote to issue a subpoena for the device.
While members of the panel “certainly believe that that shouldn’t be necessary … I think all options are on the table right now. It’s unclear exactly where this will go,” Brooks said during an interview with Fox News’s “On the Record.”
“This is highly unusual that we find ourselves in this situation,” she added, noting the select panel had already issued a subpoena for the emails from Clinton's private account during her time as secretary of State.
“So I do believe when we get back to Washington next week, we will be talking about what all of our options might be. But I would urge her not to require us to go down that path.”
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the chairman of the select committee investigating the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, has urged Clinton to hand her private server over to a third party to confirm that sensitive emails were not deleted.
On Wednesday, Gowdy acknowledged that his panel lacks the authority to obtain the server.
“The House as a whole may have the authority to seize personal property. My committee does not. But rather than have that protracted legal battle, I don't know why she doesn't just turn the server over," Gowdy said during an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

It would be irresponsible not to.
I would love to see the reaction of the negro on the panel (Cummings?) that looks like a punching bag. Always trying to explode about something. Great facial expressions of rage.
What difference does it make?
If she had cahonies (there has been speculation)..
She’d smash her server hard drive at the hearing table.
There’s stone-walling (She’s an expert)..
Or there is the Truth gap.
She only deleted personal emails..
Yeah right.
That was pretty clever the first ten million times it was posted.
Until Gowdy begins to show evidence of treason, he’s just another Issa clone.
“should want to offer up her server.”
I hope that is how it goes down-in case it doesn’t-I’ll just quote Natasha from the Bullwinkle cartoons-”Boris, I don’t care how you get it, so long as you get it”...
Cummings is facing his own new ethics violations investigation now.
The big negotiation here is getting Thighness to go under oath. She’s above that... unless jail time starts looking at her.
“...I don’t know why she doesn’t just turn the server over,” Gowdy said
Yes you do.
My enthusiasm for Gowdy is dropping rapidly.
My cousin Vinny could prosecute this case...why can’t Gowdy?
Because he’s not a prosecutor and he doesn’t preside over a court?
Eet vas moose and squirrel !
Don’t talk about it, do it.
It is nice to know I wasn’t the only kid who was into the humor of that show...
It was a great show! I should get it on dvd.
Just bring her up on charges based on the federal rules regarding email usage.
Keep it simple. If she violated them, what’s the punishment? Now, go after Benghazi as a conspiracy to cover up evidence. If she pleads ignorance, then just ask her plainly if she is incompetent or complicit. If she blames Republicans, plainly state that America will not once again have a President who blames everything on other people and doesn’t take responsibility.
Start fighting and stop playing with mittens on.
Subpoena her...and put her under oath.
I think Gowdy needs to don the brass knuckles or bring on the nunchuks...
Great minds think alike.
