Democratic Lawmakers Call Benghazi Security Officers Liars

Scandal: The California Democrat who suggested that his party boycott the Benghazi Select Committee as a waste of time now accuses those who fought on the CIA annex roof of lying "to promote a new book."

.....

Calling the yet-to-be-approved committee a "tremendous red herring," Schiff said: "I don't think it makes sense, really, for Democrats to participate."

Well, the Democrats participated in the committee that conducted its first hearing on Wednesday, and Schiff, along with Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., finds himself one of the Democrats picked by ...Nancy Pelosi to sit on it.

.....

The hearing came right after Kris Paronto, Mark Geist and John Tiegen, three CIA contractors who on that night fought terrorists from the roof of the CIA's Benghazi annex building, confirmed that there was indeed a stand-down order given that caused a critical half-hour delay.

.....

Schiff, who was not in Benghazi that night, says Paronto, Geist and Tiegen are making up a tale to sell their book, as if their story is less plausible than the proven lie that the Benghazi attack was caused by an inflammatory YouTube video, a myth promoted both by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama.

After seeing clips of Schiff saying the contractors were trying to sell their book and Smith claiming a stand-down order "was never given," Geist said he "would like to invite Mr. Schiff to a debate ... we can talk about it." He wondered if Schiff wished to "say that to my face."

.....

We would suggest to Gowdy that he invite the three to testify before the Select Committee to see if Schiff has anything approaching the courage of the men who risked their lives for their country in Benghazi.

New name for this turd: Rep. Adam Shit (D-Cal) and total asswipe. But then again, he IS a democrat and from California so you get what you elect.

Remember, when talking to this man, bring along a lot of toilet paper because he is full of crap.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

To #15. You are about 9 IQ points too high!

DNC = Communists

Well Schiff, you have the information. Prove them wrong.

You can't.

Go straight to hell you liberal whack-job.

[ridesthemiles]

Both these “Representatives” of the people need to be recalled & their pensions taken forever.

[GOPJ]

I hope the truth tellers write a hundred books. One isn’t enough...

Schiff’s living in the past... he must think Clinton’s in office... and the ‘they want to write a book’ thing will still work. It won’t. It worked for Clinton because people found it hard to believe he would lie against powerless women. But they were wrong. Each of those women should have written a book or two...

The best educated guess I can give is that they were running military weapons to what is now known as ISIS.

Because “war” is a bad thing to the liberal mindset, but actually physically destabilizing foreign nations by secretly arming "rebels" is not a bad thing.

Yup, don’t forget Hitlary was/is a big advocate of taking out Hassad Barry didn’t publicly support it for fear from the OWS crowd

[BuckeyeTexan]

You know, these days people eschew a good old-fashioned @ss whoopin’, but they work. Life would be a lot less complicated if one could knock some sense into knuckle-draggers and mouth-breathers.

[KoRn]

That’s right!

If someone gets to where they run their mouth a bit too much, getting their teeth kicked in a couple of times tends to humble them, at least for awhile.

I think that’s the problem with many of these politicians. They can just say whatever they want about almost anyone without fear of consequences or retaliation.

We need to bring back good ol’ fashioned duels. Back when those were common, people were probably much more polite.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Duels. (*snort*) That’s awesome. I’d prolly run outta ammo.

[Ann Archy]

THAT is the BIG question.....what the HELL were 30+ CIA people doing there??

[BilLies]

“The Speech or Debate Clause is a clause in the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 6, Clause 1). The clause states that members of both Houses of Congress

...shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony, and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, and in going to and from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.”
You are rewriting the Constitution like Obama. The clause says what it says, not what you wish.

[Uncle Miltie]

(I’m gonna keep asking until someone in authority asks, and someone else in authority truthfully answers.....)

[Titus-Maximus]

Is “liar” better or worse than “racist”, which is their usual “go-to” calumny when they are losing political arguments.

Dems - been running the ghettos for over 60 years, and things just keep getting worse!
