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.”

[sarasmom]

Yes, indeed they do.

As a former DOD asset, it would be hard for me to quantify just how much I detest the structure of the State Department.

Way back when, when the CIA lost major credibility with the DOD, it was mostly because State was secretly funding them to produce “biased intel” that supported whatever State wanted them to support.

The “new” CIA whores were very happy to find another sugar daddy source, which wasn't at all concerned with truth, ethics or accountability, much less the USA Constitution.

[Karl Spooner]

Fun discussion. She could be on HGH. I remember the VA did a study on it an it worked wonders on the old veterans.

[TigersEye]

I had a sneaking suspicion that my rhetorical question had an affirmative answer. :-)

[UCANSEE2]

From what I gather, the State Department has it’s own ‘cia’. They are no relation to the regular CIA.

Hillary had her State Dept. CIA selling weapons to one side.
Obama had his CIA helping the other side.

The attack on the State Department ‘black market arms dealership’ was really a fight between Obama and Clinton.

When the terrorists being used decided to attack, Obama simply refused to allow Military forces to intervene.

Checkmate, Obama.

[sarasmom]

Sometimes I can’t resist the bait...LOL!

[Intolerant in NJ]

These hearings will be well worth the price of admission - Gowdy again tonight said that he has witnesses ready to come forward to say that there was a coordinated effort by the White House to snuff out as much information about Benghazi as possible - Gowdy’s the man.....

[TigersEye]

IOWs Amb. Stevens was killed in a battle-by-proxy between the State Dept. and the CIA. Very interesting and very sinister.

[TigersEye]

lol

[Liz]

It's very, easy to find the missing $6 billion (that's $6B that we know of---probably much, much more.)

Cong Gowdy needs to do the following (below):

Gowdy again tonight said that he has witnesses ready to come forward to say that there was a coordinated effort by the White House to snuff out as much information about Benghazi as possible

I'm certain that is true.

Do you believe it can lead to the removal of Obama from his office (legally and peacefully)?

[Liz]

It is astoundingly easy to steal govt money--- using 2-3 MOs.

Were official documents falsified?---Falsifying Government Documents. involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........

Types of documents commonly falsified may include:
◾Tax returns and income statements
◾Personal checks
◾Bank account records
◾Business record keeping books
◾Immigration documents (such as visas, passports, etc.)
◾Identification cards and birth certificates

Many different types of acts can be considered as falsifying a document, including:
◾Altering or misrepresenting factual information such as prices or monetary amounts
◾Stating false information when requested to provide truthful statements
◾Forging a signature
◾Using official letterheads without authorization
◾Concealing assets or property WRT obtaining federal/state grants))
◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document

A person can only be held criminally liable if they are deliberately acting with the intention of deceiving or defrauding another party.

Falsifying documents is a very serious offense and is generally classified as a felony. This means that a person charged with falsifying documents may be subject to the following legal penalties:
◾Having to pay a monetary fine
◾Incarceration in a prison facility

Depending on the gravity of the offense, as well as individual state laws, falsifying documents can result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years. Also, if government documents or authorities were involved, the legal penalties may be more severe. ..... legal penalties may increase with repeat offenses.

The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958.

================================================

Cong Gowdy should mobilize the Bank Secrecy Act----to follow the paper trail of State Dept govt grant disbursements, and determine how govt monies changes hands.

Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of government insiders ability to collude in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting.

<><> L/E needs to examine multiple bank accounts.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer govt funds from one account to another, and/or wo=ire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover their tracks, fake govt invoices might be created to show that govt money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate govt purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of govt funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes.

===============================================

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.

=============================================

<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of State Dept checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize DHS bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures---or to finance campaign activities (and/or other redistribution schemes favored by the WH).

Tax fraud may also be a factor; facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from DHS accounts into personal accounts, campaign accounts, or into redistribution schemes.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses (and campaign activities, or other redistribution schemes).

=================================================

Taxpayers demand the Bank Secrecy Act be used to prosecute govt fraud, pronto.

SAMPLE LETTER TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
Taxpayers are urged to notify the FBI now.
FBI TIPS PAGE https://tips.fbi.gov

SUBJECT: Collusion, conspiracy, and bribery
IN RE: financial irregularities
REFERENCE: govt fraud, falsified documents, wire transfers, accounting fraud, etc.

NARRATIVE Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of multiple conspiracies by government insiders to collude in sub rosa deals to personally profit and/or to facilitate redistribution schemes.

OF INTEREST TO LAW ENFORCEMENT The FBI should interrogate individuals for evidence of multiple schemes to falsify documents to further insider schemes. The FBI should investigate any and all official documents submitted by DHS.

Crimes might include---conspiracy, collusion, falsifying offical documents (a felony), money laundering, tax evasion, extorting taxpayers, theft of govt monies, misuse of public office and government positions.

Examine State Dept personnel tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.....especially entries for "interest income."

=================================================

Muslim money-laundering modalities finance global jihad.

freedomoutpost.com (EXCERPT)---the American Freedom Law Center, has been engaged in a long and drawn out lawsuit againstHamas front group, CAIR. Hamas-CAIR has been running a global criminal money laundering operation out of Washington, DC. "The money laundering scheme was discovered in the course of legal discovery in unrelated federal litigation arising out of allegations by five of CAIR's former clients that CAIR defrauded them by failing to provide the legal services they had been promised."

THE MODUS OPERANDI To avoid reporting these millions of dollars from the dubious Islamist sources and to avoid registering as an agent for a foreign sovereign as required by federal law, CAIR created a separate company called CAIR-Foundation, Inc---an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

CAIR itself quit filing any federal tax returns from 2008-2010 and allowed the IRS to withdraw its status as a 501(c)(4), converting itself to a regular for-profit corporation. CAIR also stopped all of its operations and became simply a holding company, transferring, at least on the books, all of its employees and equipment to CAIR Foundation. --snip--

===================================================

BACKSTORY Billy Boy Clinton was grinning like a simpering fool at the annual meeting of the tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative Foundation"....even Boobomba was there hugging Billy like they were old pals.....all in the wake of the bombshell news that:

<><> the tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative Foundation uses shady financing;

<><> the tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative had employed an active Muzzie terrorist named Gehad el-Haddad (The stupid Clintons did not know Gehad was Farsi for "jihad")

Gehad also knows how the Muslim Brotherhood launders money to finance terrorism, using "tax-exempt foundations."

==============================================

======================================================

DHS and the State Dept recently published new exemptions in the Federal Register to welcome more terrorists seeking "asylum" in the US.......by screwing around a ban in the Immigration and Nationality Act that currently excludes refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.

“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained.

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Hillary's successor, John Kerry, signed the Obama exemptions.

NOTE: Claiming "asylum" triggers endless monthly SS checks.

New Evidence Links U.S. Federal Government to FILMMAKER behind Benghazi Fiasco (Shocking)

[3D-JOY]

I hope you are right. If Pelosi gets strong “DEMS” on the committee and they use leaks to the press.....it will be much harder to succeed.

[TigersEye]

That is an excellent find! Thanks, GregNH.

I saw Shoebat's earlier reports and they made sense too at a time when nothing much about the 'video' or Nakoula was making sense. Shoebat's reports combined with Montagraph's work connecting the NPN Youtube channels with Stanley Inc. are making a very strong case that j0bama and Hillary were directly involved in making and distributing Innocence of Muslims prior to Sept. 11th.

Cong. Gowdy needs to subpoena and interview Nakoula.

[GregNH]

Morsi was involved as well. This was supposed to be a kidnapping and then and October release of Stevens in exchange for the blind sheik. Morsi sent in the group by the asking of Zippo, that’s why Zippo went to bed early with Reggie because he thought that was all that would happen. But the two Seals intervened and all hell broke loose. There was rescure attempt because Hillary that the same. But no one could order the rescue across international boarders but the CIC, he was AWOL with a do not disturb sign on Reggies bedroom door.

[TigersEye]

That may well be true but the evidence for it is far more tenuous. Hopefully Gowdy will follow all trails and find the smoking guns that lead in that direction. Interviews with the survivors, the CIA contractors, may hold some promise on that line of thought. They have been gagged for some serious reason.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Do you believe it can lead to the removal of Obama from his office (legally and peacefully)?...no - 'rats are so addicted to power that I doubt that they and their hired guns, most of the MSM, would ever give up on Obama no matter what came out, but he could be driven down a few more points in the polls and have his ability to wheel and deal further eroded - and if Hillary were found to be part of the coverup, it could set her back mightily in 2016 if she decides to run.......

[GregNH]

At 3:40 p.m., Washington time, the number two man at the American embassy, who was in Tripoli at the time, was notified by Ambassador Stevens that the consulate was under attack. Shortly thereafter, the State Dept. was notified. By 4:05 p.m. the State Dept. issued an alert to all American embassies around the world that the Benghazi consulate was under attack. The Pentagon was also notified.

It so happened that the Commander of U.S. Africa Command, Gen. Carter Ham, was at the Pentagon when the news came in. Ham immediately notified the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Martin Dempsey. At that point both Ham and Dempsey personally shared the information with Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.

At 5 p.m. both Panetta and Dempsey met with Obama at the White House for a meeting that had already been scheduled in advance. But the Libyan attacks took center stage, and Obama authorized Panetta and Dempsey to "take appropriate steps" to handle the situation. This would be the only time the two would have contact with Obama during the entire evening. They never spoke to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at all.

By 7 p.m. EST the protracted attacks at the Benghazi consulate were still ongoing. And where was Obama? He was in the White House, for sure, but holed up in the family quarters where he then stayed for the rest of the night.

How do we know this information? Because at 7 p.m., according to White House phone logs, Obama called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from a phone in the family quarters. Obama was concerned about reports that Netanyahu felt snubbed by Obama, particularly given that it was so close to the presidential election, and Obama desperately needed to count on the Jewish vote.

At 10 p.m. Obama made another call from the family quarters at the White House. But no one was willing to admit that he did so. For five months there had been multiple denials that Obama made any more calls after his conversation with Netanyahu. Even Chuck Hagel denied flatly that Obama made this 10 p.m. call when asked about it during Senate confirmation hearings on Hagel's nomination to become Defense Secretary. Further, the White House had sent an official letter to the Senate stating that Obama had made no phone calls at all the night of Sept. 11, 2012.

But it would be none other than White House Chief Spokesman Jay Carney who would later let the cat out of the bag. During a news conference Carney stated that Obama was in touch with his national security team constantly throughout the night, and that he had called Secretary Clinton at 10 p.m. to "get an update."

Thus, the truth finally came out about the 10 p.m. conversation between Hillary and Obama. And why is that significant? Because shortly after that call, at roughly 10:30 p.m., Hillary issued a news memo on the attack which specifically blamed the massacre on an anti-Islamic film, an Internet video, made in the United States. She claimed that the inflammatory nature of the Internet video sparked outrage and spontaneous protests around the Muslim world. It was here, therefore, that the meme began that the consulate attack was spontaneous and perpetrated by protesters who had been offended by the film.

Yet no one at the Defense Dept., or the U.S. military, nor anyone on the ground in Libya had mentioned anything at all about a supposed violent spontaneous protest at the Libyan consulate. The CIA, which had operatives in the region, also confirmed that there had been no such protest in Benghazi against the film.

One thing, however, could be confirmed as early as 7 p.m. EST. The CIA and the U.S. military knew that this was a terrorist attack, pure and simple. And the group that claimed responsibility for it, Anshar al-Sharia, had direct connections to al Qaeda, which had not been decimated at all as Obama claimed but was still very much alive and well, operating through various and sundry localized terrorist groups going by various names. No one outside of Hillary and Obama had mentioned a single word about an inflammatory film in connection with the attacks. It was rank terrorism, period.

So, what was Obama doing throughout the night of Sept. 11, 2012 and likely into the wee hours of the morning on Sept. 12? He was developing campaign strategy in the family quarters of the White House, desperately attempting to figure out how to deflect attention away from his failed foreign policy and directing that attention squarely to an obscure Internet video that no one had even heard about in Libya, much less seen.

Taken from the Examiner at this link. Too many ads and popups so I copied relevant text to here.We now know where Obama was during Benghazi attack

The 7PM time lis incorrect as we have that picture of him right after the call to BB at 7:28PM IIRC

[TigersEye]

During a news conference Carney stated that Obama was in touch with his national security team constantly throughout the night, and that he had called Secretary Clinton at 10 p.m. to "get an update."

That is some typical Jay Carney gobbledygook. One call is "constantly throughout the night?" The Sec. of State is "his national security team?" LOL

The sad and scary truth is 0bama and his staff probably think those are accurate and meaningful statements. Aiyeeeee!
