House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday morning that the new committee to investigate the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi being commissioned by the House GOP leadership must include an even split of Democrats and Republicans in order to be fair.
If this review is to be fair, it must be truly bipartisan. The panel should be equally divided between Democrats and Republicans as is done on the House Ethics Committee," Pelosi said in a statement. "It should require that witnesses are called and interviewed, subpoenas are issued, and information is shared on a bipartisan basis. Only then could it be fair.

Aides to Boehner were quick to note on Tuesday morning that previous select committees -- including a 2007 committee on climate change commissioned under Pelosi's House leadership -- have included uneven majority-minority party membership.

How would it make sense? This is a House committee, and the majority of the House is GOP.
Nazi Pelousy’s idea of fairness is having enough Rats on the panel to totally disrupt it’s activities.
No co-chairs. One chairman - Trey Gowdy. One ranking minority member. Chairman is the tie-breaker.
Split like her personality.
Is Tom Donilon the key to Benghazigate?

Rats are on to put CBC members on the committee so they can scream racism at every turn.
The party in power gets one more member than the opposition.
Dimbulb precedent.
Dimbulb rules.
Deal with it!!
Boehner is different?
Gowdy is no fool, but Boehner is. Don't know why he decided to appoint a real leader to head the committee, but I bet it had something to do with a primary.
Trying to bury it.
Gowdy says it’s likely to be 10-7 or thereabouts. Works for me.
The tie breaker is the majority and it give the democrats less whining leverage. Don’t forget, they have the media and the advantage of being able to lie with no exposure.
I'm good with that too.
Maybe Pelosi should get her own subpoena since she knows so much...lol

Pelosi Reveals Who’s Who On Global Warming Panel (9-6 Democrat)
Monday, March 12, 2007
The talking points have gone out to talk radio by the democrats.
Today on KOGO 600 AM here in Los Angeles. The show with Ben Shapiro and Alyssa Krause and unfortunately Brian Whitman, who thankfully was out on vacation last week which allowed the show to state facts without him interrupting every time saying Bush did this, Koch brothers did that. He is back this week and went right on about Benghazi is old news, would you want this investigated if George Bush was involved....etc. I just cannot imagine how these people can ignore the killing of 4 people and if it wasn’t for a handful of men fighting back, quite possible more then 30 people murdered while obama & Hillary Clinton sat around and did nothing to rescue them. They even went after those that did. The supporting of terrorists, the treason.
A complete lack of morals is what it takes.
Shove it and STFU, you ignorant sl*t.
This is about the PAST, the COVER-UP, WHAT WAS DONE OR NOT DONE relative to Benghazi and definitely NOT about HOW FUTURE CONSULATES WILL BE SAFER.. Do NOT allow the Dems to divert away from focusing on Sept. 11, 2012 and the YEARS LONG COVER-UP since that time. This is about Benghazi and the COVER-UP!!!!!
The Republican run committee needs to render a judgment so that Nancy can find out what’s in it.
