May 5, 2014 Press Release
WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced today that he has chosen Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) to serve as chairman of the select committee to investigate the 2012 tragedy in Benghazi, Libya.
“With four of our countrymen killed at the hands of terrorists, the American people want answers, accountability, and justice. Trey Gowdy is as dogged, focused, and serious-minded as they come. His background as a federal prosecutor and his zeal for the truth make him the ideal person to lead this panel. I know he shares my commitment to get to the bottom of this tragedy and will not tolerate any stonewalling from the Obama administration. I plan to ensure he and his committee have the strongest authority possible to root out all the facts. This is a big job, but Rep. Gowdy has the confidence of this conference, and I know his professionalism and grit will earn him the respect of the American people.”
NOTE: Last week, in response to the release of emails showing the White House was more involved in misleading the American people than previously known and the revelation that the Obama administration had withheld these documents from a Congressional subpoena, Speaker Boehner announced that he was establishing a new select committee to investigate the events surrounding the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.
Nothing will come of this. The GOP will move heaven and earth to protect Obama.
“The House must formally vote to create the committee, and sources said Monday that Republican staff is drafting a resolution and that the vote could be held this week.”
Once that’s done I guess it’s up to Gowdy. I don’t expect him to waste any time. We could see hearings next week, certainly this month.
Good news..Bump!
Thank you very much! I will read it. I am one of his greatest admirers. He was a mans man for all time to say the least. I love what Grant said about him. It was something like “the greatest general on either side during the war”. This with no definable formal education at all, not even the first grade. But, you and I know, even saying he was the “greatest general” is an understatement. He may be the man that came closest to being “ABSOLUTELY FEARLESS” EVER to walk on this earth. Perhaps Alexander the Great would be his equal. I admire that in a man, regardless of his cause, and that is why I am such a great admirer of his.
So, yes I will absolutely read your thoughts on Forrest and will likely reply privately.
this is an excellent choice. Gowdy has so much potential but he is just not interested in politics from what I hear.
Love listening to him speak.
