Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to Speaker John Boehner this afternoon saying she would not be sending any Democrats to sit on the Benghazi select committee because it "isn't fair," or something. More from the Washington Examiner:
Democrats say they are concerned it will not allow their party to participate fairly in the investigation, which will involve subpoenas and viewing of classified materials related to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
According to a Democratic leadership aide, Pelosi rejects a rule that will not prevent chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., from issuing unilateral subpoenas without consulting with Democrats. The rules would also allow Republicans to prevent Democrats from interviewing witnesses.
Democrats say they do not want a repeat of the investigation conducted by the House Oversight panel, headed by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., which they believed was highly politicized: “Regrettably, the proposal does not prevent the unacceptable and repeated abuses committed by Chairman Issa in any meaningful way, and we find it fundamentally unfair.”
When should we call the waaambulance? Like I wrote yesterday, get ready for more temper tantrums from Democrats on this issue. This is only the beginning. The good news is Republicans are moving forward without her, as they should.
Hey Pelosi, unlike 0bamacare the Benghazi select committee is going to find out what happened for the American people so they’ll know what 0bama, Clinton, Reid and you have not told us.
“Your attention please! Will the honourable Louis Goehmert and Tom Cotton please report to the select committee on Benghazi . . . your attendance is requested to take the place of the scum-sucking obfuscating Democrat dishonourable Benedict Arnolds . . . Thank you!”
Her did actually. He told a repeorter ‘elections have consequences” ;)
trying to delay until after the mid-terms
Touchdown!
We will now see definitively if the GOP is serious or not. I hope they are. I want them to be. I will withhold trust until they earn it.
Well Ms.Nazi, don’t complain of unfairness when you chose to not participate. You were given a chance.
By the way, didn’t Ms. Nazi have some hearings during the Bush years with something like 9 rats and 3 pubbies?
Where was the fairness then, old hag?
"I can't close my eyes."
What Pelosi just did is like a group of convicts standing in front of the judge saying “I am not participating in your proceeding.”
The judges (Us) don’t care.
We need to withdraw.
Every time Nanzi balks, appoint another republican,
or maybe a democrat who’s up for reelection, then
ask her if she would be satisfied with four members,
then three, then two, repeat as necessary.
ewwwwwww. If my choices were go to prison or sleep with Pelosi or Cummings, prison wins out.
Put a family member of each of the slain and 1 person to represent the injured in their place as honorary committee members.
Yeah that is what I want to know too
I hate listening to their obstructive shenanigans anyway. The less I have to see and hear their BS, the happier I am.
I am so sick of these people. Same old schtick with them. Different worn out day.
There has to be some secret place somewhere left out there to get away from this crap.
Awesome. I love that.
