Gowdy Statement in Response to Clinton Comments on the Benghazi Committee
House Select Committee on Benghazi ^ | 7/7/15 | staff

Posted on 07/07/2015 9:02:44 PM PDT by Nachum

Washington, DC—Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy issued the following statement in response to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s comments regarding the Select Committee on Benghazi as part of an interview:

“Secretary Clinton had a statutory duty to preserve records from her time in office, she had a legal duty to cooperate and tell the truth with congressional investigators requesting her records, and she was personally subpoenaed the moment the Benghazi Committee became aware of her exclusive use of personal email and a server, and that the State department was not the custodian of her official record.

“For more than two years, Clinton never availed herself of the opportunity, even in response to a direct congressional inquiry, to inform the public of her unusual email arrangement designed to evade public transparency. The State Department, which should have informed congressional investigators years ago, failed to do so either.

“The fact of the matter is it took the Benghazi Committee to uncover Secretary Clinton’s use of personal email and a server to conduct official State Department business. And it was Benghazi Committee inquiries that led the State Department to confirm Clinton failed to turn over all emails that should be part of her public record; that Clinton’s personal emails and server in fact do contain classified information; that her emails from Sidney Blumenthal were solicited; and that she used more than one device for electronic communication, undercutting her ‘convenience’ claim. With regards to Secretary Clinton’s claims today, the committee does not know why or when she chose to wipe clean her personal server, but we do know her way of doing things provided an incomplete public record.”

It really sucks when we have to rely on bernie sanders to take down our opponents because our team lacks the stones to do it themselves.

At least Gowdy is setting the record straight. Megan Kelly nodded her head when Hillary claimed she didn’t have to turn over any of the emails. Fox is a waste.

No I don’t.

We need people who will tell it like it is. That would be meaningful to non-politicians.

Yep. Take that to Starbucks, and for four bucks you can get an overpriced coffee. Sort of sad the GOP’e still thinks these silly games buy them time.

Hang in there Trey!
Only a year or so and you can drop this charade of you pretending to actually be doing something.
In the meantime, keep up the good work! Whatever it is you do.
Harrumph. Harrumph.
