May 5, 2014 Press Release
WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced today that he has chosen Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) to serve as chairman of the select committee to investigate the 2012 tragedy in Benghazi, Libya.
“With four of our countrymen killed at the hands of terrorists, the American people want answers, accountability, and justice. Trey Gowdy is as dogged, focused, and serious-minded as they come. His background as a federal prosecutor and his zeal for the truth make him the ideal person to lead this panel. I know he shares my commitment to get to the bottom of this tragedy and will not tolerate any stonewalling from the Obama administration. I plan to ensure he and his committee have the strongest authority possible to root out all the facts. This is a big job, but Rep. Gowdy has the confidence of this conference, and I know his professionalism and grit will earn him the respect of the American people.”
NOTE: Last week, in response to the release of emails showing the White House was more involved in misleading the American people than previously known and the revelation that the Obama administration had withheld these documents from a Congressional subpoena, Speaker Boehner announced that he was establishing a new select committee to investigate the events surrounding the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.
Gowdy will become Joe McCarthy in the media in 3, 2 ,1...
PRESIDENT GOWDY 2016.
Trey played it right over the last week... didn’t know if he would be appointed, Boner’s decision. Now that Boner has appointed Trey... no time to let the guard down - Boner could be thinking there is a quid-pro-quo - appointing someone the lead this panel whom he does not want or like, and wanting to push forth shamnesty and perhaps other Republic-breaking krap. As the Benghazi panel gains steam, be on the alert in the news background for Boner crap!
About time. However, part of this is completely a primary and election season ruse.
Prayers for Lynn, you and your family ... are a constant. Onward and three steps are promised. Prayer, Prayer and Prayer.
I have, they are hysterical!
Trey Gowdy IS the honey badger. I’d buy a t-shirt. :)
Yep.
Instead of left handed complements we should be thanking him and praising him for his courage.
Positive reinforcement always works better.
HEY MATT...why so slowwwwww... no Gowdy headline on your DRUDGE page yet? Hmmmm...
Thank you!
Nice.
Are you sure of that? Had heard the same, but found a site - ballot something - said he was.
LOL. Biden has the deer in headlights look in both photos! Outstanding!
Am praying ... May God, forever, make it to be for healing.
I don’t understand why it took so long!!
yesterday
Props to the LazsterI wonder if we get “Special Counsel” like they had in Water Gate. I guess we don’t need one with Trey ( who is moving up my president list).
I also believe the Demorats will try to boycott this historic criminal investigation. That would be great!! The hearings would not be peppered with whining Demorats!!! Boner did this right for one reason. The conservative were on his butt!! The establishment bush types were defeated— you can bet on that.
My DVR is ready for every breath taking revelation. I can’t wait until those CIA weapons experts start talking about what they were there to do!!!
Have popcorn, will travel.
