A drone operator's classified testimony reportedly gives credence to allegations that Democrats and a Pentagon political appointee tried to stonewall efforts of the GOP-led House Benghazi Select Committee to question witnesses.
Lawnews.com writer Chris White on Thursday posted a summary from Benghazi committee head Rep. Trey Gowdy on the June testimony from "John from Iowa," who called into Sean Hannitys radio program in 2013 and said he'd been a drone sensor operator the night of the deadly Sept. 11, 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost. "This drone sensor operator confirmed details the committee learned at the same time [the Department of Defense] was claiming it was 'expend[ing] significant resources to locate' him," the summary from the South Carolina GOP lawmaker states.
"The Air Force knew exactly who had called into the talk radio show in 2013. In other words, Johns testimony raises serious questions with respect to the representations made by a Pentagon political appointee."
Gowdy added:
"It now appears DOD had knowledge well in advance of who and where John was, but claimed he could not be located anyway. They claimed 'significant resources' had been spent attempting to find him, but given the facts, its hard to imagine just how much incompetence would be required for that to be true."

This person will be pushed aside too. The impending destruction of this administration is looming fast.

When did Gowdy meet with Obama? Do you have a source?
In the end, if Gowdy really has the goods, Obama will throw Hillary under the bus. The buck never got to him.

There was a thread in the past few days regarding negotiations between Gowdy and the WH regarding how much of the final Beghazi report to classify.
My hunch is:
WH: Classify all.
Gowdy: Hell no, but maybe some.
I can't find the link. Sorry.
