Congressman: Benghazi questions need answers, or more steps needed
CNN ^ | 11/7/13 | Drew Griffin and Kathleen Johnston

A week before Congress is expected to finally hear from CIA contractors on the ground in Libya during the deadly Benghazi attacks, a Republican member said it is long overdue the American public learn the truth of "the murky events of September 11, 2012," that left a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans dead.

"We know what the senior people have said but we don't know what the people who were on the ground are going to say and we need to get those answers," Rep. Devin Nunes (R-California) told CNN by phone Wednesday.

In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner sent Wednesday, Nunes said if questions remain unanswered or "if some answers differ substantially from the established narrative and timeline of the attack, then it would be warranted to take new measures to complete the investigation and synthesize the information obtained by the Intelligence Committees and other committees investigating the Benghazi attack."

Nunes suggested if that occurs, Congress should consider appointing an independent investigator.

Separately, another Republican, Rep. Frank Wolf of Virginia, has called for a special select committee to investigate Benghazi. While most of the House leadership has ignored Wolf's call, 178 fellow Republicans have signed his petition for the special committee. Not one Democrat has signed.

The events are not murky. The clear cut fact is the foreign born twice unconstitutionally elected cocaine smoking, gay prostituting, mac daddy lying scam artist protected Al Qaeda so they could do their thing.

Oh and if you’re wondering why I’m calling him all those names.....

The Demrats and Admin will continue to stonewall and
claim at some point that there is nothing to this old news.
The MSM will dutifully push that position and it will pass.
If only some element of the MSM would start harping
on the stonewalling aspect. Not likely to haen.

The answer is that this so-called CIC murdered all four of them and would have hoped for more. And you know what Congress is going to do about it? A whole lot o’ nuthin. That’s what.
