The House Benghazi Committee is making a personal plea directed at Secretary of State John Kerry amid the State Department’s failure to fulfill longstanding congressional requests for information.
In a letter sent this week, Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., asked Kerry for his personal assistance in providing documents described in a November 18, 2014 letter and a March 4, 2015 subpoena to the State Department. The requests cover documents and communications related to ten former senior Sate Department officials.
It’s another example of a trend in which federal agencies fail to comply with congressional requests on a timely basis–or at all. Congress not only has the right but also has an obligation to conduct oversight of federal agencies conducting business and spending tax dollars on the public’s behalf. The same federal agencies often refuse to lawfully comply with federal Freedom of Information Act law. Instead, they routinely withhold public records from members of the public and the press.
Gowdy says the committee cannot fulfill its mandate to provide the first complete investigation of Benghazi until the record is complete. Once all of the relevant documents are turned over, the committee says it will schedule former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for an interview within 30 days.

If the panel doesn't get all the documents it needs to do this investigation during ZerO’s term, and if there is another panel appointed after the 2016 elections, say, and they get the documents they need to prove that ZerO’s administration knew well in advance of the raids, then can they still go after ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ of those important in this case, (ZerO and Clinton)?
Awesome! Thank You SO much for the ping!
Thanks.
I use a water shredder. I just fold the paper a few times
and run it under warm water. Most paper these days turns
back into paper pulp when it gets wet PDQ.
Just twist the wet paper, and no one will ever be able to
see what was written/printed on it.
Mainly, I do that with junk mail. I never throw anything with
our names and address into the trash without “shredding” it.
Great idea. Thanks.
You’re most welcome!
All just Kabuki theater by now. The democrats can have L4B put a halt to anything they want to stop by just claiming ‘national security’ and stamping the materials top secret and even ‘eyes only’. Not onesignificant thing is going to come out of these theatrics. But it functions to fool the somnabulent masses being led to their destruction by the puppets of the oligarchy.
