From the very moment of its inception, Democrat members of the House Benghazi Select Committee have worked to sabotage, subvert and otherwise obstruct the committee’s efforts to discover the truth of what happened that fateful night of Sept. 11, 2012, in Libya.
Now that the committee’s work is drawing near a close after two years, with chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., promising to release a final report soon, the Democrat members are demanding a bigger role in the drafting of the report.
But Gowdy, though “mildly amused” at this latest bid by the Democrats, is not surprised that they would make one last gasp at upending his report. He let them know how he felt in a scathing letter sent this weekend to the top committee Democrat, Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings. According to The Hill, the seven-page, 1,800-plus word letter laid bare the numerous documented incidents of the Democrat members’ obstruction of the committee’s investigation, led by the “serial leaker” Cummings himself.
Gowdy, who tenacious style of investigating and interviewing witnesses has earned him the nickname “The Bulldog,” wrote that the Democrats “have spent far more time writing letters, selectively leaking material, and spreading mischaracterizations than you have actually participating in this investigation.”
Nevertheless, “Despite your efforts to undermine and obstruct our fact-centered work, rest assured all members of the committee will have the opportunity to review the report and offer changes in a manner consistent with the rules of the House,” Gowdy promised.
The report and accompanying evidence and transcripts would be released shortly after that, at which point the American people would be able to make up their own minds about exactly what happened in Benghazi.
“This investigation has uncovered new information that will change how the public views what happened before, during, and after the attacks in Benghazi,” Gowdy wrote. “Despite your best efforts to prevent it from happening, actually talking to eyewitnesses and actually accessing relevant documents has produced new information… It took longer than I wanted, but we are finally going to be able to answer questions left unanswered by previous investigations.”
You can read the entire letter right here.
Glad you saw the importance of the post.
Gowdy really should get in high gear with this.
I’ve watched Cummings bloviate and spin with sematic gymnastics on CSPAN in these meetings.
Like Gowdy points out, all he is trying to do is make the investigation seem unnecessary and leak info towards that end.
Cummings is a traitorous bastard.
The letter is pre-Orlando
So what?
There is a point to this thread, sorry you are a Cummings sycophant
Well that too...
Yeah it’s kind of sad isn’t it?
Actually I liked Gowdy better when he was doing the Forensic Files.
My don’t get you panties so bunched up.
Sorry I haven’t fallen for the sham, just posting information for people with normal blood pressure and discussion skills to read, absorb and comment without histrionics.
I now change my “so what” to “So?”
This letter is so last week. Let me guess no proof yet.... At least the 2nd time seen this letter on fr. Put up or shut up gowdy.
Howdy Doodie was more dangerous to dem tyrants.
I added, you subtracted.
Get on track kid.
Oh. Thanks. Lol. I see the media has been on top of it.
Heh, they are too concerned with which bathroom to use, bunch of leftist sycophants with permanent wedgees.
Well I see you have chilled out a little.
I’m proud of you for that.
Well I see you have chilled out a little.
I’m proud of you for that.
Few here are fooled by your condescension, least of all me.
So?
You may judge yourself by what others think of you, but that is a weakness in your character.
BTW, tray is a Globalist, GOPe, nerdy, loser, girly-man. An affront to those who elected him. Everything real constitutionalists despise.
