Gowdy Named Chair of the Select Committee on Benghazi

Washington, May 5

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) released this statement regarding the announcement that Speaker John Boehner has chosen him to lead the select committee to investigate the Benghazi attacks:

“I applaud Speaker Boehner for his decision to establish a select committee and am honored to serve as Chairman. Twenty months after the Benghazi attacks, there remain unresolved questions about why the security was inadequate, our response during the siege itself, and our government's interaction with the public after the attack. All of those lines of inquiry are legitimate and should be apolitical. Facts are neither red nor blue.

“While people are free to draw different conclusions from the facts, there should be no debate over whether the American public is entitled to have all of the facts. In a courtroom, juries are free to believe one witness over a hundred witnesses. But you cannot make that or any other credibility determination if you do not have access to all relevant witnesses, documents and other tangible evidence.

“Four of our fellow citizens were murdered, and a facility emblematic and representative of our country was attacked and burned on the anniversary of 9-11. Our fellow citizens are full well capable of processing the truth about the attacks and aftermath, and most assuredly entitled to hear it.”

I posted this back in 2012, can't ref the original right now but it is a copy. I think it is telling now. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3151049/posts?page=58#58

So if the very first "order" was to do whatever we need to. Then why wasn't thank done? Who did he give that directive to?

Yep, I've been asking the same questions since the beginning. It's glaringly obvious that he's lying. If a CBA had been issued there would have been hell descending on those terrorists. If 0bama had told Panetta that he had CBA and Panetta didn't act on it would 0bama cover for him? I sure don't think so. If that happened then 0bama is still complicit in covering up Panetta's dereliction of duty.

This can of worms has just barely been cracked open.

And it is SOP that the order be typed up by a staff member and signed by the CIC for records.

[TigersEye]

Yes, I'm sure that is true. In this day and age that probably means it is immediately processed through multiple stages of digital medium before the ink is dry on the hard copy.

Get some, Cong. Gowdy!
