WASHINGTON -- Congressman Steve Stockman (R-TX 36) will seek to force a vote in Congress on creating a select committee to investigate the Obama administration’s handling of the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Following the cancellation of a House hearing this week on the Benghazi attacks, Rep. Stockman announced his intention to file a discharge petition to force a vote on Rep. Frank Wolf’s H. Res. 36, which would establish a Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi attacks.
“Congressman Wolf has fearlessly led the fight for justice on this issue. The whole nation owes Congressman Wolf a deep debt of gratitude. Some House Democrats now appear to be openly interfering with the investigation and intimidating witnesses, which only raises more questions about the White House’s involvement,” said Stockman. “The only way we’re going to get a clean and thorough investigation is by forcing a vote with a discharge petition.”
The House Foreign Affairs Committee, of which Rep. Stockman is a member, had originally scheduled a hearing, entitled “Benghazi: Progress on State Department Accountability,” for Thursday, July 18 at 10 a.m.
According to Rep. Wolf, a Select Committee is the only way to effectively conduct an investigation the attacks.
If 218 House members, a majority of the chamber, sign the discharge petition H. Res. 36 would be recalled from committee and considered on the floor.

The time has come to make a specific set of charges as related to Benghazi—and force the administration out of hiding or into a de facto admission of guilt. It’s the way those creeps play.
So what is a Select Committee going to do that the House Committee hasn’t?
A Select Committee would provide a coordinated effort. As it stands now, different committees are fumbling around and in some cases duplicating one anothers efforts. There’s no real focus.
The Heritage Foundation has this to say...
Good for him. He knows of course he will be on Boner’s S$%t list. Boner has Zero’s back all the way.
If you are waiting for the GOP to do anything about this
you are SOL. They are in on it and are just as dirty as
the Tards. Hint, one of these parties rule and the other
is just a distraction.
There would have been even more than 4 dead if the special forces guys had not run into that nightmare to try and save people.
These were obviously brave, honorable men, who died heroes.
They deserve to have their true story known.
It's not right how they, and their families have been treated by our government.
I hope something will come of this, but, it doesn't seem likely that we will ever get the truth.
Sad.
“It is the only view of life in which you can never be disappointed.”
Aaaaaa...Hardy defined Moderate.
“These were obviously brave, honorable men, who died heroes.”
Not to the Obama and Toon2.
I’m sure they were cussing them the whole
night.
Boehner is a traitor. His political days are numbers. We are coming in 2014 and these rinos are going down in primaries real bad. We will take this country back and we WILL have a back bone!!
"Anyone know where the GOP is on this?"
Equally as important, does anyone know where the missing Benghazi survivors are...y'know, the ones that have been kept hidden by the administration and were told to "keep quiet"?
Leni
in any other administration..It would be treason!
that thump you heard was only Nixon rolling over in his grave...But he's smiling...Saying See?
What was that song:
Ding, Dong, the witch is dead. The wicked witch.
Sing it high, sing it lo. Ding, Dong, the wicked witch is dead...
It has been a while, so I might have the lyrics wrong...
