The House Benghazi Committee is making a personal plea directed at Secretary of State John Kerry amid the State Department’s failure to fulfill longstanding congressional requests for information.
In a letter sent this week, Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., asked Kerry for his personal assistance in providing documents described in a November 18, 2014 letter and a March 4, 2015 subpoena to the State Department. The requests cover documents and communications related to ten former senior Sate Department officials.
It’s another example of a trend in which federal agencies fail to comply with congressional requests on a timely basis–or at all. Congress not only has the right but also has an obligation to conduct oversight of federal agencies conducting business and spending tax dollars on the public’s behalf. The same federal agencies often refuse to lawfully comply with federal Freedom of Information Act law. Instead, they routinely withhold public records from members of the public and the press.
Gowdy says the committee cannot fulfill its mandate to provide the first complete investigation of Benghazi until the record is complete. Once all of the relevant documents are turned over, the committee says it will schedule former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for an interview within 30 days.

Chairman Gowdy...it’s called a “subpoena”. Start issuing them.
Now.

Gowdy will have to negotiate with Hillary’s defense attorney, John Boehner.
So...other than sending a letter, what is anyone going to do. If it is as usual...nothing.
they control the justice department. That’s a big obstacle.
Like, no.
State Dept to Committee.. "we will AFTER the 2016 election."
The documents were all on Hillary’s server. All wiped now. Sorry. Ask the Russian, Chinese and Bulgarian hackers. Maybe they have copies. Like the cryptolocker guys, they’ll probably restore them for you for the right price. But you have to act fast or the price will go up.
Let’s push a little harder boys...show some muscle. The Congress has tremendous Constitutional authority and latitude to do what is necessary to do the people’s business.
Benghazi is serious business.
Kudos to Ms. Attkisson.
The "Homers" will make it worse. :(
#5 Yep you are right.
Benghazi attack on Sept 11, 2012
Today’s date May 15, 2015 and still no one held accountable from obama to clinton to CBS’s brother employed by obama..
The only punishment has been to those that tried to rescue those being attacked.
The HOR, for all of the chest-thumping by the fake conservatives, has not used the one tool they have. That would be the power of the purse.
There, not it correct.
Our Congress has been declawed and deballed. They are just toothless puppies engaged in kabuki theater, pretending that checks and balances still exist.
Imagine the George Stephanopolous “ABC news report” on this story.
Right after they get the documents from Holder about Fast and Furious, and after they get the documents from Lois Lerner about the weaponizing of the IRS.
We still don’t know where Obama was from 5pm until the next morning when he goes to Vegas. We still don’t have a media that can knows the right questions to ask, and will keep digging until they find out.
Benghazi’s Smoking Gun? Only President Can Give ‘Cross-Border Authority’
Sending additional forces into a foreign country always requires the president’s approval. He was either absent, or refused “CBA”.
