White House Press Secretary Jay Carney today indicated the White House will refuse to cooperate with a new House committee tasked with investigating Benghazi.
“We have always cooperated with legitimate oversight,” Carney said this afternoon during the daily White House briefing. Asked whether the panel qualified as “legitimate,” he said: “I think if you look at what even some Republicans have said, it certainly casts doubt on the legitimacy of an effort that is so partisan in nature.”
“You know, at some point, you just have to assume that Republicans will continue this because it feeds a political objective of some sort,” he added. “At the same time you have to ask, ‘What about the American people who want to see Congress work for them?’”
Meanwhile, House Speaker Boehner today announced that Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) will chair the Benghazi committee.
“With four of our countrymen killed at the hands of terrorists, the American people want answers, accountability, and justice,” Boehner said. “Trey Gowdy is as dogged, focused, and serious-minded as they come.”
Fine, impeachment is in order then.
Existence, too...
The real surprise will be if the Republicans have the stones to go for the jugular, or will they roll over and whine while wetting themselves...as they usually do.
I know where I’m putting my money.
On the other thread on this story I mentioned that Boehner, who for once in his career did something right with regard to opposition to Baraq Obama, should double down and say that any stonewalling of the Benghazi committee, as defined exclusively by Congressman Gowdy, will result in immediate impeachment proceedings.
Take off the damn gloves. It’s time to play hardball.
My money is on Trey Gowdy!
BINGO!
Impeach. See if they’ll cooperate then.
Quite right. Thanks.
MiaT is that you? Good grief!
I hope you win and I lose!
Just the fact that he claims to *know* nothing will come of this is suspect. Nobody knows where this will lead - if they say they do, they’re just blowing smoke
The unpatriotic democrats own the media. Half the people in this country don’t even know four people were killed. And wouldn’t care if they were told by Obama himself.
If something Obama does hurts a democrat voter that voter will say “I still support him.” That’s why I have cut off all communications with anyone who votes democrat. And I mean ALL. As far as I’m concerned, they are enemy.
More Democrat bluffing and blustering. “We might take our ball and go home!”
Dude! Do it!
This is what you get when the third-string Junior high football team gets elected into the NFL.
Your post contains more information that this old guy can absorb at one sitting. Bumping to the top with a sincere thank you!
People who do nothing but post junk like “nothing will happen, it’s hopeless, all is lost, woe is us” - nothing else - are very suspect.
I’m thinking it’s about time to let God sort em out.
Wow. Pinging this! Nice work.
Benghazi isn’t half the scandal that the IRS is. Why bother? The average voter couldn’t care less.
