Democrats launch Benghazi website, ahead of hearing
The Washington Times ^ | September 16, 2014 | David Sherfinski

Posted on 09/16/2014 11:14:49 AM PDT by jazusamo

Ahead of the House Select Committee on Benghazi’s first public hearing Wednesday, Democrats on the committee say they’re launching an online clearinghouse to deal with questions already asked and answered and dispel falsehoods about the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack.

They say the website is intended to provide answers to questions that have consistently been raised surrounding the attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, such as why security was inadequate despite repeated requests and whether the Pentagon failed to deploy resources that could have saved lives on the night of the attack.

” ‘Benghazi on the Record’ does not answer every conceivable question, but it answers many of the primary questions people have about the attacks,” said Rep. Elijah Cummings, Maryland Democrat and the select committee’s ranking member.

They also called on Republicans to more clearly define the mission and scope of the committee, which the House voted to establish in May.

“We have looked at it, and we don’t know where this committee is going,” said Rep. Adam Smith, Washington Democrat.

A spokesman for committee chairman Trey Gowdy, South Carolina Republican, said Mr. Gowdy is willing to risk answering the same question twice rather than risk it not be answered at all and since all documents responsive to congressional inquiries have not been produced, not all questions have been “asked and answered.”

“Chairman Gowdy is leading a fair, fact-based and impartial investigation,” said committee spokesman Jamal Ware. “The Committee will consider all evidence, across all jurisdictions, and produce the final, definitive accounting on behalf of Congress of what happened before, during and after the terrorist attacks on our facilities in Benghazi.”

Hmmmm. Doesn’t appear to be anyplace to ask a new question or to make any sort of comment. Maybe I just missed it or more likely they “forgot” to put that option on the site. Yeah, that’s it. They “forgot”.

Where is it going you ask? It’s going to find the truth!

I asked the question...’Is Hillary a Dyke?’

That is now a ‘keyword’ on their website.

Would that person have a D or an R in front of their name? That determines the penalty. D = Speaking truth to power. R = felony conviction or death penalty.

Well of course. Aren’t the epitome of tolerance and diversity of thoughts and ideas and accepting of all? MMMM. Not so much. They’re about as tolerant as isis/isil/is.

Leave it to Elijah to come up with something like this, he's got his mind made up.

Unless Gowdy mutinies, this hearing will be strung out until it just fades into the sunset as Issa is doing with the IRS crime. Holder, VJ and Bruno from Chicago are riding shotgun on all of the obozo scandals so I suspect that nothing will come of any of them. It's not healthy to cross the mob.

Will the website tell us where Obama was and what he was doing while American’s were being attacked and murdered?

Amazing how fast the Dems can get a working website up when it doesn’t involve health care. I wonder how many millions this one cost.

This very act indicates how scared they are. Gowdy is playing it close to the vest, not a lot of leaks to give them a clue as to his strategy or evidence. It’s bugging them bigtime.

“What in the heck does that even mean? Clearinghouse?????”

I think that means you may have won ten million dollars.
