Watch: Gowdy FINALLY Had A Chance To Confront Hillary To Her Face, And He Made It Count
Western Journalism ^ | October 22, 2015 | Randy DeSoto

Posted on 10/22/2015 11:14:02 AM PDT by lbryce

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.

Talk about parroting the Clintons. Project much?

Gowdy has let Cummings run wild. Ke has let witnesses declare their terms. If he does not have enough authority to control his own investigation then you tell me Fred, WTF is the point of any of this?

Oh. I did, however, hear that Gowdy(?) pushed her into a nurse Kratchett moment.

“Didn’t something similar get Oliver North in trouble? And put the heat on Reagan? Think that it was called the Iran-Contra Affair.”

Yes, exactly so. No Americans died there, though, and President Reagan did not blame a video, nor arrest the video producer.

I too am expecting that she will slip away but Trey Goudy is doing good work, if anyone is listening.

You seem to be really informed - tell me, WHAT is this video about? Is there a way to even see it? All I keep hearing is, “the video this” and “the video that”. I don’t even know the title. How could I find out, and CAN I even find out?

1) How long ago was Benghazi ?

2) Why did it take 3 years to get 3-4 months worth of due diligence ?

3) Why did McCarty make statements that made the whole investigation look bogus?

4) Why is it that in all these years and committees, Gowdy & Issa accomplished ZERO ?

I could go on, but one either gets it, or one doesn’t

So, the Clinton stall and continual lying worked on you?

Only people who are interested are paying attention.

She will not lose a single voter from this.

But it will allow her to claim persecution.

She’s using this, IMHO, for political gain.

Of course.

He didn’t burn the body and salt the bones. That there shows he lacked seriousness, because a headless demon can reconstitute its chopped off parts unless the body is burned and the bones salted.

So, all that head chopping and door nailing was just for show to appease us peasants.

How’s that?

Please be kind enough to point out to me where I've parroted anything the Clintons or their minions, flunkies and stooges said in my post.

I'll wait right here.

I didn’t know a lot of the info packed into your post, though I’m not shocked.

One thing does shock me though: why is the USA so stupid? Why are the powers that be playing checkers on the world chess board??

In which case, she has been spectacularly unsuccessful.

You don’t know them, because they aren’t facts. No trier of fact has ever established anything remotely like what he claims.

Who in the LBJ WH? This in a written account? Knew LBJ was an a@@hole but- was there a spy doing this for the NVA and/or the russkies as a go between since NVA was their proxy client (not chi-coms as many have mistaken)?

I’ve got dim friends who think she’s being hounded because she’s a woman running for president.

This isn’t changing their mind.

Because we all know the republicans will do *nothing* with any of this information.

It’s like flashing a gun at a robber that he knows you’ll never use.

Him/her and apparently about half the people on this forum. Morons.

But still, it is sort of entertaining to watch an insect struggle while impaled on a pin. Of course, the moment Gowdy looks away, the pin shall be removed and Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, will creep away.

With the incredible recuperative powers of its species, the damage caused by this scrutiny will repair within days, if not hours.

Please forgive me if someone has thrown out this theory before.

Regarding #3, Did McCarty make a deal with the Democrats that he would discredit this hearing if they would support him for Speaker?
