Trey Gowdy: Democrats thwarting Benghazi investigation
Washington Times ^ | October 8, 2015

Posted on 10/08/2015 10:10:28 AM PDT by nuconvert

Rather than cooperate, Democrats from the start have tried to thwart the Benghazi probe from within, Chairman Trey Gowdy said in a letter released Thursday that accused Democrats of bad faith and also announced the release of emails that call into question the relationship between former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and her associate Sidney Blumenthal.

Mr. Gowdy said it was Democrats, not Republicans, who “selectively leaked information” to try to set the political narrative about the probe. Mr. Gowdy said Democrats have been more interested in that than in actually participating in the investigation, and he accused the top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, of acting as defender of Mrs. Clinton rather than as honest auditor.

No Democrat damaged the Benghazi Select Committee as badly as Kevin McCarthy.

Trey Gowdy is a media whore who didn’t even have the balls to show up for the vote on Speaker this past January. And he was all-in for McCarthy. FUTG.

When did this start and why is the Boy Chairman just now whining about it?

Tell you what Gowdy, put your big boy pants on and DO SOMETHING about it. If you can’t, step down and let someone else carry the torch like your boss Boehner did.

Sad but true. I wonder if McCarthy was trying to sabotage the Committee because they are getting too close to the truth?! Like, who gave the stand-down order that prevented an AC-130 gunship from taking off in Tripoli, two hours before the two seals on the roof were killed, one was painting the target, a mortar position. The order came from the State Dept. but I think it goes much farther up the chain of command, or down the rabbit hole.

Don't knock my guy Gowdy. When he started his investigation nobody knew about the Hillary Server. Goody's investigation uncovered that fact. Now the FBI is after Hillary.

Cummins embodies everything that is wrong with DC: stupid, ignorant, entitled, liar, loudmouth, drooling, braggart, and embedded into the body politic like an Alabama tick.

He has acted more the man than you, false accuser.

What have *you* done to expose lies?
What have *you* done to oppose the evil?

You are a cowardly liar.

Exactly.

All these contemptible railers and scoffers can’t do one thing to expose the corruption, whereas at least Representative Gowdy has worked steadfastly and has DONE something.
