A Select Committee! What a great idea! We’ll never hear about this Ben Ghazi guy until well into 2015!

Good going, guys. Well played.

Special Prosecutor with Subpoena powers, as a matter of fact. Thanks for asking, I can't believe it took all day for someone to see my post.

Not being versed in comparing political/Congressional methods, I sincerely don’t know the best way to legally attack this. Could you explain in simple language why a Special Prosecutor is better than the Select Commitee? Does a S.C. have Subpoena powers?

Too bad FR doesn’t have the views per thread function it used to have, maybe not a lot of people have seen this thread. So much horrible news.

Well, the thumbnail is this:

A Select Committee will be a subset of the House. This means there will be a whole drawn-out partisan battle over who gets on it, just to start. This will take months. Votes. Then, the committee will decide from whom they will take testimony. There will be arguments on every single witness, with court battles. And votes. All of this in secret, by the way. Eventually we will get to the part we get to see on CSPAN. And nobody will watch.

A good Special Prosecutor would not be like Ken Starr. That was poorly done. A proper Special Prosecutor would actually track down the worst crime, and not be drawn up tiny tributaries. What happened here? Who knew? When? Then what did they do?

We have a carpload of questions here.

We’re 9-10 months down the road by now.

I've been trying to find that video on Foxnews.com - no dice so far. Do you have a url?


America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I wonder why Stockman went for the Select Committee, then. It sounds terrible.

Won’t matter. There’ll be Dems on the committee and they’ll be just like that ___ Clyburn — they’ll hinder the committee’s work every step of the way and if/when something damaging to Obama and company, they will minimize it or try to hide it. Congressional committees are worthless.

All too true.

But, at the same time, it's the only investigative weapon we've got.

The DOJ isn't going to investigate anybody but conservatives.

The media doesn't want to know what really happened. So they're useless, as well.

It's a congressional committee or nothing.

“I wonder why Stockman went for the Select Committee, then. It sounds terrible.”

If I’m not mistaken, a special prosecutor has to be appointed by the Attorney General. No one trusts Holder, he’s already in contempt of Congress.

The select committee is the only other alternative to the status quo.

This is a quick take on it...

It would appear the Independent Counsel has been usurped by Justice. Well, then, we may as well give it up because this, and all the rest of the Obastard crimes, will never be investigated. It will be too late to affect anything by the time a Select Committee ever gets a report out.

He pulled it off.

Yes, and surprisingly it stops right there. Congress has officially washed its hands here. There will be no Committee. Ever.
