Liberals Beg Pelosi To Not Appoint Democrats To Benghazi Committee
The Daily Caller ^ | May 5, 2014 | Alex Pappas

Speaker of the House John Boehner has ordered the establishment of a new special committee to investigate the 2012 attacks on Americans in Benghazi — but some liberals don’t want any Democrats to take part in the hearings.

“Member of Congress told me she will urge Nancy Pelosi to appoint NO Democrats to Special Benghazi Committee,” liberal talk radio host Bill Press wrote on Twitter on Monday. “She’s right!”

On Monday, Boehner announced that he is tapping South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy to serve as chairman of the select committee hearings.

“With four of our countrymen killed at the hands of terrorists, the American people want answers, accountability, and justice,” Boehner said Monday. “Trey Gowdy is as dogged, focused, and serious-minded as they come.”

Boehner has long resisted calls from members of his party to establish a select committee — he has said the investigations going on in other committees are adequate — but said last week he decided a select committee was needed after determining that the Obama administration had withheld documents from a congressional subpoena....

I can't find a link to confirm it, but I heard on the 6pm news on WIBC radio that Kerry will not attend the committee hearing because he will be in Mexico.

The State Dept also said they considered it an insult that he was subpoenaed

Not participating only makes them appear more guilty...

The 'Rats are effectively stating they are completely innocent, while taking the "fifth", by not participating.

What could be more un-American than non-participation in the process. Like the Texan 'Rats that left the state while re-districting occurred. Or, like Wisconsin 'Rats that walked out of their statehouse because of Scott Walker.

un-American... 'Rats... but I repeat myself.

If Bill Press can't name names, he's making stuff up; it didn't happen.

Democrats only make laws apply to others, not to themselves.

Before its done, I expect to hear democrats claiming that they were shut out of the process.

OMG!

The press better be on hand to confirm that the GOP DON'T PHYSICALLY LOCK THE DOORS like the criminal Pelosi and her band of merry crooks did while passing the ADA, before we could find out what was in it!

I do believe that either the AG or the House can appoint a special prosecutor. I would tell old plastic face that the dems can participate in this or they will just appoint a special prosecutor and move to impeach both Holder and Obama.

Put the plastic faced witch on the hot seat and let her burn her buns.

Well then, Lurch, the clueless doofus better leave now, because the date of the hearings haven't been set!

I’d like to see (D) Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts on that committee. Every time I see him on cspan in a hearing, he is reasonable and doesn’t come off as agenda-driven or arrogant.

They won’t participate. That is an outright admission of guilt and a big fat, “Screw you America!”

I think it all collapses if Gowdy and the others come across like they're on a witch hunt.

You mean if he finds that crimes have been committed?

Democrats lie to win so why would they be interested in participating in a hearing that would seek the truth?

We're BLACK, you can't touch us!:

Watch the Dems stack the front lines with all the 'protected class untouchables' like Rice and Cummings. After all, isn't that why they put Rice up on TV to lie for them???.. Because she's BLACK & UNTOUCHABLE?
