Gowdy Named Chair of the Select Committee on Benghazi

Washington, May 5

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) released this statement regarding the announcement that Speaker John Boehner has chosen him to lead the select committee to investigate the Benghazi attacks:

“I applaud Speaker Boehner for his decision to establish a select committee and am honored to serve as Chairman. Twenty months after the Benghazi attacks, there remain unresolved questions about why the security was inadequate, our response during the siege itself, and our government's interaction with the public after the attack. All of those lines of inquiry are legitimate and should be apolitical. Facts are neither red nor blue.

“While people are free to draw different conclusions from the facts, there should be no debate over whether the American public is entitled to have all of the facts. In a courtroom, juries are free to believe one witness over a hundred witnesses. But you cannot make that or any other credibility determination if you do not have access to all relevant witnesses, documents and other tangible evidence.

“Four of our fellow citizens were murdered, and a facility emblematic and representative of our country was attacked and burned on the anniversary of 9-11. Our fellow citizens are full well capable of processing the truth about the attacks and aftermath, and most assuredly entitled to hear it.”

Happy Clincho De Sphincter, Democrats LOL

[TigersEye]

Well well welllll! Nice find. I completely missed that when it was first posted. That makes for some interesting speculation for sure.

[TigersEye]

Too bad that author is not welcome on FR. Until someone else writes about the Brennan connection a link in a post is all we can do. That’s major though!

[smoothsailing]

LOL, I like that. B^)

.....the connection between a State Dept subcontractor, Stanley Inc. to the "Innocence of Muslims video" .....traced to Stanley Inc. through the meta-data...

Any connection to news reports WRT the State Department announcement it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors?

A special State Dept “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.

Or is that how Hillary always$ get$ tho$e wonderful poll number$----why $he's always at the top of the pre$idential pack?

[smoothsailing]

It’s all crazy stuff, Tiger, but hey, we live in a crazy world!

[Empireoftheatom48]

So when do they start?

[liberalh8ter]

I hopped on the information superhighway and paid a visit to a uber-lefty site that rhymes with Lark just to take a look at their thoughts on Benghazi/Committee/Gowdy. Pretty much as expected, this is a Republican manufactured conspiracy, put together to help them get elected and headed up by a guy who's most likely an alien.

I'm not only of the opinion we need some type of litmus test to qualify for the privilege of voting, there needs to be a maturity level requirement, as well.

[upchuck]

Thanks for the ping smooth.

Trey
Gowdy
Ping!

Want on or off this ping list of 30+ (and growing) FReepers? Just drop me a FReep mail.

[Karl Spooner]

Hard to believe that she in her 60’s.

[sport]

Everyone that wants to know that the sign is almost true. Where we part company is that the son of a bitch is not my Obama. Sorry for the language, but I can’t help myself when his name is mentioned.

[TigersEye]

Does the State Dept. fund its own black ops? $6 bil would buy a lot of them.

[TigersEye]

It wasn’t always this crazy was it?

[entropy12]

There is not ANY OTHER republican or demoRat who would do a better job than T. Gowdy as chair of this committee.

I have watched Trey in action from long before he was elected to congress. He appeared with regularity on TV series Forensic File as the prosecutor in various cases.

[entropy12]

I guessed her to be 50’ish.

[smoothsailing]

Never this bad. Marxists and Muslims are destroying us.

[Karl Spooner]

I was thinking mid 40’s with the muscle tone and all.

[entropy12]

Long time ago I was in the Riverview amusement park in Chicago (it closed in 1967), and there was this man in a booth who could guess your age within +- 3 years for a bet. He guessed correct ages of all in my group! So I asked hm the secret. He told me he carefully looks at the mouth!

Now you know the secret! The mouth is more symmetrical the younger you are.

[Karl Spooner]

I don't know about that. It looks pretty symmetrical to me. I know Mary Tyler Moore, bless her heart, looked worse in her 30"s.

[entropy12]

I should have spelled out more details..You observe when they are talking. Also the condition of lips shows age more accurately than any other face feature.

Note you are only looking at pictures and TV appearance of the Judge. There is considerable makeup involved, so the fine lines around the mouth will not be visible.

Believe me, I have been using that method for years and it is a good one. By the way I am a huge fan of the Judge. She is brave and forthcoming. She has said she packs a gun.
