Benghazi panel releases Clinton subpoena (Hillary lies again)
The Hill ^ | July 8, 2015 | Martin Matishak

Posted on 07/08/2015 11:31:53 AM PDT by jazusamo

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.

A subpoena is meaningless unless it is enforced. The House can find her in contempt and issue a warrant for her arrest and imprisonment.

Make Boehner say no.

Bohner already has said no, behind closed doors.IMHO

I have no doubt he knew exactly what Hillary and Barrack was doing in Lybia. Being the 3rd in the chain of seccession he was informed.

It’s the same Reason Congressman Mike Rogers white washed his report on Benghazi. He was informed as the Head of the Congressional Committee.

It’s the same Reason Boehner keep Issa quiet about the IRS, DOJ and White House colluding to prosecute tea party Activists in 2010. Judicial Watch just released the documents. Congress was aware. Did anyone from those Committees leak that information to the Press. Hell no.
Boehner wanted it swept under the rug. It threatened the RINO cabal in the house. He needed to keep his RINOS entrenched to promote his Amnesty, over spending and power.

Boehner is a despicable self-serving disgrace.

People delete their personal emails, their work emails, whatever emails they have on a regular basis.

Now we know why the Clintons start off their explanations about some malfeasance with " There is no evidence..."

Now, just what would happen with this story if Mr. Trump decided to casually mention Mr. Gowdy's statement? Mr. Gowdy, aka "Queens Court Jester" according to some.

I'm thinking that Mr. Trump, aka as our very own "junk yard dog", would not bother with sending out a strongly worded letter using bold font when a simple tweet would be most effective and heard around the world.

Mr.Trump speaks in the clearest bold font possible; I can only imagine "a day in the life of President Trump".

Yes, Hillary got caught lying again... but it’s all the fault of the vast right wing conspiracy BECAUSE we noticed it and the press stuck their head in the sand.

A guy could think they are holding this until she wins the nomination. Nothing better than tossing the opponent in jail.

But then that guy remembers it’s the republicans we are talking about.
