The office of the speaker of the House released this list of members chosen for the Benghazi Select Committee:
WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today named the seven Republican members of the Select Committee on the Events Surrounding the 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi. The Select Committee also provides for five Democratic members, and those names will be released when provided by the House Minority Leader. Boehner issued the following statement:
“This investigation is about getting answers for the families of the victims and for the American people. These members have each demonstrated a commitment to this goal, and I have confidence that they will lead a serious, fact-based inquiry. As I have expressed to each of them, I expect this committee to carry out an investigation worthy of the American lives lost in Benghazi. I also urge my Democratic colleagues to treat this tragedy with the proper respect and appoint members so that we can finally, on a bipartisan basis, get answers, provide accountability, and help deliver justice. It is critical that this committee do its work in a focused, timely manner, so that the House can continue to make the economy and job creation its priorities.”
The Republican members of the Select Committee will be:
- Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN)
- Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), Chairman
- Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)
- Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS)
- Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL)
- Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL)
- Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA)
Despite what Chas. Krauthammer and Wash. pundits say, I DO NOT THINK Lois Lerner should be proferred immunity... it would be like giving Al Capone immunity...
Good job don-o!
Bi-partisan? Bah! Every time I hear that word, I reach for my hand-held vice wrench and squeeze something (adapted from Al Ginsberg quote).
Hahhahahahahhha....well done
Have a Wonderful Weekend, PR!!!
;^)
Martha Roby should be good pick along with Gowdy and Jordan. I know little of the other Republican picks. As for the Dems, Cummings should be in jail, a disgrace to Congress.
this whole fiasco is like going to a prison to select a jury
“Boehner Names Members for Benghazi Select Committee”
Is he just naming them or is he selecting them. If he
selected them then I can assume the fix is in and the
investigation will be as big a dead end as the 911 commission
was.
He just announced the names. Trey Gowdy picked them.
Agree 100%!
Exactly... it’s done based on proportionality.
Remember this?
Yep, Tosh Plumlee is a colorful character, to say the least.
“In 1962 Plumlee was assigned to Task Force W which operated at the time from the JM/WAVE station in Miami. Plumlee claimed that in November, 1963, he was a co-pilot on a top secret flight supported by the CIA. Plumlee’s flight left Florida on 21st November and stopped in New Orleans and Houston before reaching Dallas in the early morning hours of 22nd November. On board was Johnny Roselli. Plumlee testified that their assignment was to stop the planned assassination of John F. Kennedy.”
