The Republican-controlled House Select Committee on Benghazi has released the subpoena it served former secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier this year.
“The committee has issued several subpoenas, but I have not sought to make them public,” panel chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said Wednesday in a statement.
“I would not make this one public now, but after Secretary Clinton falsely claimed the committee did not subpoena her, I have no choice in order to correct the inaccuracy,” he added. “The committee immediately subpoenaed Clinton personally after learning the full extent of her unusual email arrangement with herself, and would have done so earlier if the State Department or Clinton had been forthcoming that State did not maintain custody of her records and only Secretary Clinton herself had her records when Congress first requested them."
The six-page document, delivered to Clinton’s attorney on March 4, asks for all documents sent to and from the private email she used while in office between the dates of January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012
The subpoena lays out 19 “schedule instructions” as to how compliance should be handled, including how files should be indexed electronically.
The release of the subpoena comes one day after Clinton chided Republicans for making her use of a private email server a political issue.
“Everything I did was permitted,” Clinton said in an interview with CNN. “There was no law, no regulation, there was nothing that did not give me the full authority to decide how I was going to communicate.”
She said she used one device for sending emails, that all of her emails went into a government system, and that she turned over 55,000 pages of messages for release “because I wanted to go above and beyond what was expected of me.”
“I turned over everything I was obligated to turn over and then I moved on,” she added. “People delete their personal emails, their work emails, whatever emails they have on a regular basis. I turned over everything I could imagine.”
Gowdy issued a strongly worded statement hours later, saying Clinton had a “duty” on several levels to preserve her messages.
On Wednesday, he said “the timing of the Secretary's decision to delete and attempt to permanently destroy emails is curious at best.
“The Secretary left office in February of 2013. By her own admission she did not delete or destroy emails until the fall of 2014, well after this Committee had been actively engaged in securing her emails from the Department of State,” he said.
“For 20 months, it was not too burdensome or cumbersome for the Secretary to house records on her personal server but mysteriously in the fall of 2014 she decided to delete and attempt to permanently destroy those same records,” he added.
Wow, she really gave the finger to your committee, didn't she? So what are you going to do about it? Oh yeah, absolutely nothing.
Thats not true..
They will write a strongly worded letter..
Then do nothing.
She is such a filthy CRIMINAL and our “government” is totally impotent.
Yeah, and she’s giving the finger to all of America now, just like her husband did. And yes, this includes the idiots that would actually vote for these piece of trash.
Trump absolutely blasted her yesterday because she again made the mistake of criticizing him, so he said she “was the worst Secretary of State in this nations history, the world blew up under her watch” AWWESOME!

This old hag will get away with it as she has done countless times in the past. The media will place flowers in her path and hide her every crime.
It will go on her Permanent Record.
Amen on both.
Trump is dead on the mark and he wasn’t bashful about it.
Why the kid gloves, Gowdy? Speak English
Look. Your purist crap is oldschool. The nation need to heal and move on. Lets elect more lesser evil Republicans no matter what so incidents like this never happen.
they can just ignore them and we will WIN! because suddenly liberals will register Republican.
Hillary lied. IM shocked.
IF she didn’t lie, I’d be even more so.
She also said that she was going to appear before the committee during the month of June. Never happened.
I don’t know Trey but it seems Hillary is the Queen and you took on the assignment as the Queens Court Jester.
She publicly boasts of laughter at the entertainment you provide.
If Hillary Clinton keeps this up she'll never get into a good college. Her parents will be disgraced. She'll end up a stripper or worse.
Privilege to agreements, loans, secrets, treaties, blackmails, pay offs, etc..etc...
She knows things about people....and she can know everything about anyone.
