Democrats have harshly criticized the Benghazi select committee, calling it a political sideshow and questioning Republican motives behind the effort. But what some key Democrats aren’t questioning is the man who will lead the committee, Rep. Trey Gowdy. While Gowdy is decidedly partisan and one of the most vocal critics of the Obama administration regarding its response to Benghazi, he has built up an enormous amount of goodwill among some of his Democratic colleagues, particularly those he’s worked with on the Judiciary and Oversight committees. On the record and in private, Democrats praise Gowdy as fair and forthright. “I would look at Mr. Gowdy as the one honest broker in this whole circus,” said Rep. Lacy Clay, a Democrat who serves with Gowdy on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. “That’s probably why, with Gowdy at the helm, we would need full participation — because we would be heard and we would be able to defend some of the allegations that would arise.” “Every indication I have had in working with him on the Judiciary Committee is that he’s thoughtful, careful, and trying to reach the truth,” Rep. Luis Gutiérrez said. “That’s been my experience.

(SNIP) “I try not to get my Republican friends in trouble because I speak highly of them,” said Gutierrez, an Illinois Democrat who counts Gowdy as a friend. “Look, I don’t see him that way. Maybe I just cloud it out.”

Yu know what will happen to Trey Gowdy.

Anyone who is seeking the truth will be framed and defamed.

Its just a matter of time.

The Dems are being nice because they are scared to death of what Trey can do to Hillery Clinton, whose Benghazi conduct was actually criminal.
