GOP Benghazi Committee chairman Trey Gowdy blasted fellow Republican Rep. Richard Hanna on Thursday for claiming his investigation was aimed at hurting 2016 Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
Running investigations in a private, fact-centric way is unquestionably the right way to conduct a serious investigation, Gowdy said in the statement, arguing that Hanna knew nothing of what his panel was working on. The pitfall, of course, is that commentators, and sometimes even members of your own Conference, offer thoughts on matters on which they are not familiar.

——shell grandstand-—
I can’t remember
my minds in a blender
it’s jello, jello, jello
He should "personally" visit this douche-bag and personally kick his worthless ass right up Pennsylvania Avenue.
From his bio page.
After graduating with honors in Economics and Political Science from Reed College in Portland, Ore., he started Hanna Construction and worked on small residential projects.
Over the next 27 years Hanna Construction grew to employ more than 450 people many from the construction trades and successfully complete a myriad of multi-million dollar commercial and municipal projects in Upstate New York.
Hanna is a 25-year member of the Operating Engineers Local 545.
He's from NY, he's involved in the construction business. What are the chances he's been involved with the mob or other shady characters? Just an idea. Almost too easy.
For some reason, I was thinking Hilly’s testimony was private as well. I double-checked myself & it’s not, so I’m mistaken and unfortunately, that means there will be nothing but grandstanding on her/Dems part & in that case, I don’t see what, if anything, will be accomplished. Her lips will be moving, but she won’t answer a single question. Elijah Cummings will be totally insufferable.
I still think they should have four LARGE pictures of those killed in Benghazi sitting up against the dais where the Committee sits, facing Hilly as she testifies. When she starts grandstanding, Gowdy can refer her back to the pictures as to why they are there. This would never happen .... but I get some small satisfaction just thinking about it.
The standard pay-off for behavior like this is: run unopposed by democrats, and heavily funded by the (r) party in the primary.
Killary/Jezebel used Kevin McCarty’s off the cuff statement cleverly when Cooper, the rigger, “threw” her the question on Benghazi-Gate !!!
Yeah, then genius RINO McCarthy gave her cover, but I wouldn’t expect a RINO to do anything other than that. These people are absolutely pitiful.
I think the GOPe have decided they can never be THE power and are serving at this point Democrats.
So ANOTHER reason to dry up their assets.
Because Gowdy is shooting for criminal intent, which has a high burden of proof
No Gowdy was shooting to drag this out into campaign season. He’s all hat and no cattle. Unfortunately, the Dems are right here and this is kabuki. The GOP don’t intend to do a darn thing about Benghazi because that would require directly engaging the kenyan. That is something they simply won’t do, sorry.
Gowdy’s a good man... and he’s shown us we need to vote a lot of Republicans out of office. It’s not just democrats who are liars and thugs... we have some in our own ranks.
No.
Gowdy is not the GOPe
He has reacted pretty strongly to McCarthy and Hanna
It is also clear from his letter to Cummings what he has developing
The committee can’t indict. They give the evidence to the Justice Dept. for consideration of indictment.
However, the FBI started their own investigation. Now, today, Biden says he will soon announce whether he is running for president or not. I think it will happen this way:
Biden will be privy to know if the FBI is going to indict Hillary, either right now or later, but he will know (either FBI tells him or tells Obama and Obama tells him). If they ARE going to indict, Biden will run for president and he WILL become the candidate. If they are NOT going to indict, he won’t run.
Reminds me of Boehner saying: “If it’s good enough for Hawaii, It’s good enough for ME” !!!
Gowdy does not have the power to indict. It’s up to Loretta Lynch. Or, it’s up to Boehner to appoint a special prosecuter. Actually, maybe it is Obama who must apppoint the SP. The FBI could request it. Maybe the FBI can indict.
But, Gowdy does not have that power.
Indictments are a function of the executive branch. Obama's bitch, Loretta Lynch, is in charge of federal indictments.
There won't be a federal indictment unless Loretta (in consultation with the FBI, obviously) ever so reluctantly decides there should be, whereupon her boss, expressing regret, will anoint his VP as his mini-me to be the next President.
Go, slow Joe!
