Pressure on the Obama administration to release more information about the Benghazi attack grew Thursday, as House Speaker John Boehner demanded officials turn over emails pertaining to the controversial "talking points" and another top Republican appealed for more whistle-blowers to come forward.
On the heels of a dramatic hearing where three whistle-blowers testified, Fox News has learned that former Vice President Dick Cheney on Thursday, on the Hill for a meeting with House Republicans, also told lawmakers: "I think Hillary (Clinton) should be subpoenaed if necessary."
The comments and developments signal that Republicans will continue to press for answers on the deadly Sept. 11 attack. Despite arguments from Democrats that the hearing was not nearly as shocking as Republicans made it out to be, GOP lawmakers said it raised troubling questions that need to be investigated.
"The truth shouldn't be hidden from the American people behind a White House firewall," Boehner said Thursday. "Four Americans lost their lives in this terrorist attack. Congress will continue to investigate this issue, using all of the resources at our disposal."
Boehner specifically urged the Obama administration to make public a set of internal emails that some lawmakers had been able to review but not keep.
One of the emails apparently showed a top State Department official saying a group affiliated with Islamic terrorists was responsible for the strike. Separate emails, though, allegedly depict the White House and State Department pressing lower-level officials to remove references to terrorism in talking points about the attacks.
Based on those talking points, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice would go on five Sunday talk shows shortly after the attacks to claim they were triggered by protests over an anti-Islam film. Top officials would later claim the flawed assessment was based on the best intelligence

I sure as hell hope so
Boehner announcement of some sort upcoming.
“I’m Gay!”
Boehner could have just phoned that one in.....what a total tool!!
YES!
He’ll be announcing his new handicap and how it’s improved since playing golf with Arnold Palmer Obama.
"There, did I get my lines right, Mr. Carney? Please say you like me..."
Congress cannot prosecute anyone.
He’s joining AA?
From what I understand, UNTIL he announces a special prosecutor and select committee to look into all the lies....they CANNOT subpoena Obama or Hillary.
That’s IT???
This individual is a complete embarrassment.
Boehner calls for release of classified emails. No big deal.
“Man I hope this is the start of impeachment.”
From your typing fingers to G-d’s ears...
but with Boehner’s record...doubtful
He just had a spine transplant.
In a related story, “People in Hell Call for Ice Water.”
Are these the ones Trey Gowdy said he was sure the democrats would be holding a press conference to announce their release?
