The chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi said he might take former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at her word if she swears under oath that she’s turned over any relevant documents he’s seeking.
“If she were, under some theory, able to say, ‘yes, I can promise you under penalty of perjury you have every single document you’re entitled to,’ that would probably shut off that line of inquiry,” Rep. Trey Gowdy, South Carolina Republican, told USA Today’s “Capital Download.”
“There may be other questions about the security of the server or why you gave this person clintonemail dot com address but you didn’t give this person — those are all separate questions,” he added. “I just need to make sure that the public record is complete.”
Mrs. Clinton said in March that she exclusively used a private email address while serving as the nation’s top diplomat largely out of convenience. She turned over about 30,000 emails she deemed work-related to the State Department in late 2014 — nearly two years after leaving office — and deleted the rest, also wiping clean a private server and declining to turn the server over to an independent party.

Exactly!
Plus, she will NEVER EVER in a million years say exactly what Trey wants her to say!
Because, she knows she is lying and she knows Trey could have gotten some of her emails from people she sent them to that don’t like her.
He is stupid as a fox. He is baiting her into a clear cut felony.
I hope you're right!
Please Hillary swear under oath..........because it sounds to me like Gowdy has more than you think he has.
If Gowdy had evidence, Hill would know because of the Dems on the committee. Contrary to popular belief, this isn’t a prosecution. The result will be a report to other Congressmen.
Ping the rest of us when Gowdy supeona’s her and puts her under oath.
Any chance he doesn't have it, but knows where to find it and is keeping it in his back pocket?
She is way to conniving and smart to make such a statement. It is a trap.
What would you do that he hasn’t?
“I bet he already has evidence and wants her to lie under oath.
“
^5!!!, that is just what I was thinking.
Gowdy just might have some of her emails that she’s not aware of, then he can charge her with perjury,just sayin
“Don’t be so quick to condemn. This is a prosecutor’s trick to back her into a corner. She doesn’t know what he has or might be able to find. She can either say yes to the deal and take a risk that he has or finds something that he can use to bring perjury charges against her or she can say no, which would indicate that she knows she has not supplied everything.”
Exactly - Gowdy is setting the trap. When Gowdy speaks “nice” about a case, expect bombs later.
She is to appear in May or June. Plus, he wants her to testify twice.
Exzactly, but try telling that to this thread of in and out justice demands, like it should be a McDonalds.
I love Trey, and considering who he is tackling he has very little to work with, but he’s capable of making lemonade.
He’s obviously related to you.
She is to appear before the committee in May and/or June.
Probably can get her on perjury from evidence he has in hand, if she says that under oath.
If she refuses to testify to that under oath, she digs herself a deeper hole, eg."If she is telling the truth, why won't she testify to that under oath?"
Gowdy is no dummy, he could be setting her up either way she goes.
The only way Hillary can come out clean is such a scenario is if she is telling the truth, we all know she isn't, no way.
The chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi said he might take former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at her word if she swears under oath that she’s turned over any relevant documents he’s seeking.
Rudy Giuliani didn’t have to use tricks to take down the Mafia. He got in their face and we need a little of that from the GOP Schmoos.
If I or any other non privledged citizen said this would councilor Gowdy back off........bullshit.
