Members of the Republican-led Benghazi select committee are getting down to work, with the first order of business a detailed timeline of the attack.
But it already is apparent to some committee members that previous investigations, including the State Department review known as the Accountability Review Board, were not as exhaustive as the administration claimed.
"If you go look at the other reports that were done, whether it be the Accountability Review Board or the Senate case (last Januarys intelligence committee report), there are places where they have enough details but many, many gaps in the fact pattern," Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., a West Point graduate who sits on the Benghazi select committee, told Fox News.
"We still don't have all of the facts that surrounded the events of that night. Did the Department of Defense speak to the State Department? Did the State Department have good contacts with our intelligence operations folks?Where was the White House and its National Security staff, that entire team that's responsible?"
A detailed timeline breaks down into three phases, including the well- documented, severe threat environment before the attack as well as the security requests from U.S. personnel in Libya that were denied by the State Department.
"We're going to start from the events that led up to the enormous security failure, and the run-up to September 11, 2012 and then we'll look at the events of that evening, the deaths of four Americans and what could have been done to potentially rescue or at least make an effort as America always has done, Pompeo said.

Pray that it be so

The first reply to your #38 is also interesting.
This has a couple interesting tidbits in it!
Gowdy possesses himself quite nicely. I would love to be a fly on his walls.
Yes. I certainly would not want to be a target of his or his committees investigation. With the people he’s chosen to join him, each will certainly have 3-4 contacts who specialize in digging and connecting dots too. Think what 25-30 should be able to accomplish. Mmm mmmm mmmmmm!
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
While you are at it Gowdy, gather some facts on Dereliction of Duty.
The White House called YouTube about the “dastardly video” PRIOR to the earliest time they said the CIA had TOLD them of it.
How is that even POSSIBLE...?
How often during the middle of a full-blown international crisis does the WH go calling around about videos they DON’T EVEN YET KNOW OF...?
