Chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi Trey Gowdy wasted no words while explaining clearly and convincingly the purpose of the committee’s investigation and the reason former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was called to testify on Thursday.
“Madame Secretary, I understand some people — frankly in both parties — have suggested this investigation is about you,” Gowdy said in his opening statement. “Let me assure you it is not. And let me assure you why it is not. This work is about something much more important than any single person. It is about four U.S. government workers, including our Ambassador, murdered by terrorists on foreign soil. It is about what happened before, during, and after the attacks that killed these four men.”
The chairman was clearly seeking to refocus the public’s attention on why the committee was established following Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s gaffe late last month, which Hillary Clinton and supporters used to argue the Republicans are mainly seeking to hurt her presidential bid through the investigation.
“Not a single member of this Committee signed up for an investigation into you or your email system. We signed up because we wanted to honor the service and sacrifice of four people sent to a foreign land to represent us – who were killed – and do everything we can to prevent it from happening to others,” he said.

she sure as hell isn’t anyones “honey”...
Huma Abedin may disagree with you.
Naked and unafraid, Naked and unashamed to see, accept and state the naked obvious.
45 feet naked and golden.
There’s no smoking gun.
The naysayers REALLY get me down, but... the clintons are STUNNINGLY corrupt (I came of political age just before bill’s first tour in the WH), and they’ve paid an incredibly small price for it. So maybe they’re onto something. Though bill was impeached.
Also, the naysayers CANNOT STOP SAYING that hillary in the WH again is as inevitable as the sun rise. The good news is THEY WERE SAYING THAT EXACT SAME THING 8 years ago.
66 celestial trumpets, and a deed to Beverly Hills. (We need a nice place to jail the leftists)
Gowdy had the effect of a stone thrown into a pond....it will create a ripple affect much larger than the stone. Now we know much more about Blumenthal’s role in being a major Libya information provider for Hillary, against the orders of O’bama. That ripple in the pond is going to be very big, perhaps turning into a tidal wave.
You can be sure things being revealed are not anti-climatic to the families of those killed at Benghazi. Perhaps they may even express their views on TV interviews.
Due to Clinton stonewalling for 3 year, all this comes out at a very very inconvenient time, in the middle of her campaign run. At a time when a large percentage of Americans view her as a liar and untrustworthy.
Shortly you will be 1 of the few that finds it anti-climatic.
All true. If this were a serious investigation the questions would be about arming Al Qaeda to overthrow the Libyan government.
As Rush said nothing will come of this considering the low information voter base.
Believe Gowdy’s impotent. Hillary’s doing everything but filing her nails to show her disinterest in this affair. Though she might get to her nails in part 2.
Cage theory. We start with the enemy within. It’s a lesser evil...
Does someone have the link to this video that isn’t from a clickbait website?
WJC is not a real website imo.
Didn’t something similar get Oliver North in trouble? And put the heat on Reagan? Think that it was called the Iran-Contra Affair.
Trey Goudy for president! He is great!
That too. But nothing will come of this is because it’s designed for that. The only person with less intrest in this than Hillary is Gowdy. If he wanted to nail her, he’d by eccentricity have to expose the Republicans also in knowledge of events.
This was done to avoid simply slapping a National Security tag on it and simply making it all go away. This way people get the pressure relief valve they need, the agenda goes ahead and no one in DC is held to account.
She’s making MINCEMEAT out of the Republicans!! Pompeo is the only one I’ve seen that got under her skin.
Couldn’t agree more...
Damn spell check - Neccicity
Unless he brought up the weapons Stevens was peddling, it was a non-event.
Lesser Evils should get a smaller CAGE, in keeping with PC proportionality ?
Her sweetiepie, Huma, might disagree with you ...
