No, Trey Gowdy and Co. Aren't Going to Stop Searching for Benghazi Answers
Townhall.com ^ | March 14, 2015 | Cortney O'Brien

HBO late night host Bill Maher and Arianna Huffington had some fun Friday night making fun of the GOP's tireless pursuit of answers regarding the terror attack in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, that left four Americans dead. While Maher and his guest had contrasting views on Hillary Clinton's handling of her email scandal, they both laughed and agreed that at least it has taken some focus off of Benghazi. Before that, Nancy Pelosi dismissed Republicans' Benghazi agenda on Capitol Hill. With breathless exasperation, she blurted out "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi" and called the investigation GOP 'subterfuge.'

I wonder, did Pelosi or any one else mocking their efforts ever stop to think maybe Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and company are still pushing for answers because this is a serious issue that affects the safety of all of our American diplomats around the globe?

Thankfully, representatives like Susan Brooks (R-IN) recognize this danger. She made Benghazi the centerpoint in this week's Republican Address.

3/14/15 Weekly Republican Address: Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN)

"It's simply unacceptable for so many questions to remain unanswered," she said.

Brooks and her fellow members on the Benghazi Select Committee are ready to press Clinton and other State Department officials for more details, for our diplomats are worth it.

"They are deeply committed to this work and their protection is one of our government's most solemn responsibilities."

"We have a duty to uncover the whole truth."

The Benghazi Select Committee, led by Chairman Trey Gowdy, has been one of the loudest groups to demand Clinton turn over her personal email server.

“Turn it over to a retired judge, an archivist, an inspector general, so that we can have some assurance that the ‘we’ that separated the public from the private did a good job,” Gowdy said.

Gowdy has also made clear he wants Clinton to appear twice before his Benghazi panel - and why not? As he famously stated once before, facts are neither Republican nor Democrat.

The likes of Maher, Huffington and Pelosi may mock Benghazi as a non-issue, but I'm sure the families of Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone S. Woods, and Glen Doherty would say otherwise.

Pelosi is a monster. She’s anti-human - a thing that’s risen up out of the darkness to taunt humanity with her filth.

‘Dude, that was like TWO YEARS AGO’

As if there is an expiration date on finding out the entire circumstances surrounding the murders of 4 innocent Americans at the hands of Al Qaeda. This investigation had better get to the truth or it will be forever buried. The double standard is APPALLING!

And that’s EXACTLY what they are going to do about the email issue.

When/if she gets the democrat nominee...they’ll just say that is yesterday’s news. Mrs. Clinton has already answered those questions and is moving on to solving real problems. I remember hearing that a lot when Bill was President. It worked then...why won’t it work now?

If we want to defeat her we need to get the democrats to take her out.

This administration reeks of treason from top to bottom. It will take some long time to purge the stench from our halls of government, that is, if we can wrest them back from the Bolsheviks now in control.

I showed a guy at work a pic of them dragging Ambassador Stevens’ dead body being dragged through the streets and he became an instant anti-Obama convert.

Maybe Trey should post some of those pics around the room during the hearings.

It’s classic. Stonewall for two years. Your compliant Quisling media cooperates.

Then it’s old news and a late-night joke.

Fast and Furious
Weaponized IRS
Benghazi
etc

IMHO, Gowdy is wasting time and money. Even if he finds that Hillary ordered everyone to stand down and not defend the embassy in Benghazi enabling the murders of the 4 who were massacred, she will never be convicted of anything. These are the rich and powerful, remember, and laws do not apply to them! Laws just apply to us little people. It is so sad that this great country has deteriorated as it has!

For some reason this seems pertinent

Yes, very good connection. Nixon coasted to victory in 1972 AFTER Watergate. The axe didn't fall until 1974.

What is that on the Hillary impeachment timeline? 2018?

One problem with that, though...

‘The newspaper that uncovered Watergate’?

The Watergate cover-up was exposed incrementally in 1973 and 1974 by such subpoena-wielding entities as federal prosecutors, federal grand juries, and investigators for the U.S. Senate select committee on Watergate.

It was the select committee, not the Post, that disclosed the existence of the White House audiotaping system that proved so critical to determining Nixon’s fate.

If we only have the Select Committee to rely on, I believe the truth will never come out...and there's still the part about who ordered what. I believe Benghazi was a setup-from-the-onset-gone-bad and she certainly didn't set herself up...

If this was just about Hillary I don't think Pelosi, et. al. would be making such a fuss.
I believe the trail goes all the way to the idiot-in-charge.

The emails go far beyond Benghazi and the gun-running treason she and obamatollah engaged in similar to Fast-and-Furious.

There is a connection between the tens of millions the Clinton Foundation received from muzzie foreign governments and HELLry using her own personal server.

One can easily surmise the “donations” were the price of admission to gain access to those servers and their classified information.
