Gowdy slams fellow Republican over Benghazi remark
Politico ^ | 10/15/15 | RACHAEL BADE

Posted on 10/15/2015 4:42:37 PM PDT by paul544

GOP Benghazi Committee chairman Trey Gowdy blasted fellow Republican Rep. Richard Hanna on Thursday for claiming his investigation was aimed at hurting 2016 Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

“Running investigations in a private, fact-centric way is unquestionably the right way to conduct a serious investigation,” Gowdy said in the statement, arguing that Hanna knew nothing of what his panel was working on. “The pitfall, of course, is that commentators, and sometimes even members of your own Conference, offer thoughts on matters on which they are not familiar.”

Maybe the left-wing Republicrats are so angry over Orange Obama they are trying to hurt Conservatives.

Why is it taking so long for indictments? Wish they would move on with it, but I don’t know what they know. I’m sure Gowdy wants to make double damn sure that he has hard evidence against her first. I hope he knows the answers to all the questions he will be asking her so he can catch her in her lies.

There are either some real idiots or traitors in our own party.

The Gowdy committee is tasked with writing a report to the rest of Congress. It is not a prosecution, and Democrats on the committee make sure Hillary knows everything they’re interested in ahead of time.

Poor Trey Gowdy just can’t win.
A lot of us here are flogging him as a lazy, foot-dragging GOP-e slug while the Democrats and GOP (east coast Establishment branch) are calling him an obsessed, Hillary-hating Ken Starr reincarnation, playing that card again.
Can’t really blame him for planning on hanging it up at the end of his term.

All part of Hillary’s defense.

She is going scorched earth to keep herself out of court.

That is scorched earth of our country and our government.

Her punishment should reflect her decision to use these tactics.

Yeah, somebody in the GOP desperately wants to end the investigation. My guess would be the McCain Graham wing of Obama cheerleaders who were hot for Libya in the first place.

Sabotage. I wonder how much he got paid, or what he was promised by Hillary’s team.

They JUST got Chris Stevens’ emails within the last week - think those might be relevant to the committee’s work? They are being stonewalled, delayed and obstructed by State, DOJ, Dept of Defense at every turn. Gowdy is handling this as a prosecutor, not a politician (which is what most people are used to) so it’s very frustrating because he’s holding his cards close to the vest. His “staff” are former federal prosecutors & a 3-star general ... all tough & competent. If I were Huma or Hilly and had to testify (not publicly where they, especially Hilly, can ‘grandstand’ before the cameras as will the Dems like the horrible Elijah Cummings), I wouldn’t sleep a wink the night before (maybe the week before) and I’d need to wear Depends.

If you haven’t read Gowdy’s letter to Cummings, you should - he does let out some “interesting” info in that letter:

Do they need to wait until Obama can’t pardon?

OK, Benghazi investigation is dead.
Move on to emailgate. Oops that one is being handle by the Obama Just-us Dept.
Add in the former Speaker of the House pleading guilty to illegally transferring 3.5 Million dollars to a blackmailer trying to hide his past homosexual pedophilia. As an added thought, how does a career politician amass a fortune large enough to pay a blackmailer #3,500,000.00?
These are the things the will piss away the 2016 election and probably have already.
There are no words that can express my contempt for the Republican party. Hypocrites, liars, thieves and probably worse.

My guess the next big thing in Washington will be classes to practice saying;
Madam President Clinton
Madam Speaker Pelosi
Mr Majority Leader Reid.

Republicans stab you in the back and help democrats.

That’s what Republicans do, Mr. Gowdy, and that is all Republicans do.

IMHO: Because obuma himself is involved in the emailgate he and the Clinton Crime Family are working together to throw Gowdy under the bus....

This Hanna was not part of the committee and Gowdy said that plain and clear....Gowdy also wrote a 13 page letter to Cummings who was talking to reporters about what was going on, which he had no business doing, but Cummings is a rotten person to the bone...

I don’t think there were many in the House and Senate that didn’t know what was going on in Benghazi and who was involved....

I swear there is some kind of cabal going on...

McStain and the GOPe are in cahoots with cankles and are up to their eyeballs in smuggling arms to al quaeda. Damn them all to hell!

Martial law is coming. The economy is going to be in full collapse in 2017 and I hope that someone like Cruz or Trump is in control instead of one of the faggotty globalists. And I hope Cruz or Trump puts every one of the effers up against a wall.

I’m going to try to be a little less critical of counselor Gowdy.
All of us here want Hitlery run out of public life, and ASAP, but I suppose we’re just going to have to trust that Gowdy & Co. and doing all they can to get at the truth.
Esp. if the `rats & RINOs are putting the spurs to him.

Good info. I think Gowdy is doing a good job given the stonewalling which obviously means they have a lot to hide. I will read the letter. Thanks.
