The House Select Committee on Benghazi hears testimony from Homeland Security and Secret Service officials on the implementation of the Accountability Boards recommendations following the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi.
I expected them to cover Sharyl Attkinsson’s newest revelations:
Benghazi Bombshell: Clinton State Department Official Reveals Details of Alleged Document Review

I hope Sharyl is around later to testify, if they ever bother to call her. She is a brave woman.
And my hope and prayer is that Gowdy views "winning" in terms of getting the truth out, as much as that is possible in dealing with the Obama "regime".
kabar,thanks for the background.
I don;t have the context for why these folks are here this morning and their roles.
I don’t know who is worthwhile and who is not.
I am hoping that today’s hearing is foundational to something bigger.
So far, it has not been evident.
Please continue your comments—they are helpful.
After the way she conducted herself going after Nixon (her professor/boss fired her for lying and unscrupulous behavior) this karma has been a long time coming.
If it’s proven that Mills shredded Benghazi docs - maybe Gowdy can get that teed up before the next hearing - seems she’d have to come in for questioning, this time UNDER OATH.
How can Gowdy help Maxwell prove his accusation of shredding in the basement that weekend?
Agree, and it seems like limited coverage unless you go on your computer. Everyone needs to see all of this instead of them putting on only limited coverage on TV so people can only see what they want them to see. Sounds like a deal and sell out to me. This wasn’t the purpose of these hearings. They should be televised full coverage for all to see.
Thank you for the link! I couldn’t get CSPAM online to play.
Best,

Tough job. Lots of coordination.
I know how it works having worked at Embassies as the Management Officer. The RSO reported to me and the RSO supervises the MSG Detachment. The Marines are there primarily to protect classified information. They can provide limited personnel protection until the host government forces arrive.
The size of the MSG depends on a number of factors. Risk, the number of internal MSG posts, etc. will govern size. The minimum used to be 6.
He won’t have an audience left to watch his so called strategy evolve. I quit the hearings as soon as I realized what was on the agenda. I don’t need a lesson in best practices. I want the truth of what happened.
No, not at this hearing. Hillary will become more of the subject after the midterms. Probably around the time she declares she is running for President. Timing is everything.
he can’t be removed. He is black and hair challenged
I defer to your experience. My son was in Honduras and Jordan. Trying to recall info from 13 years ago.
Thanx.
By providing the names of the people he saw doing the review. Mills and Sullivan have been named, but career people were also involved. They need to be deposed.
It’s no where near time for lunge and thrust.
Also, the lunge and thrust will happen behind closed doors, and except for any leaks, will be sealed until after the election.
This may not be a fireworks show, yet...but Gowdy is a prosecutor. He will patiently build his case brick by brick. It will seem boring and harmless, but when he is ready he will hit them like a Sidewinder. And by then they will have no defense they will have proven their own guilt. If I was on trial and he was the prosecutor, I’d be pleading out. He plays no favorites, and I have the impression he is fearless and doesn’t give a hoot what the leadership thinks. If he has the proof, I would expect him to put Bullethead at the witness table. As much as it pains me, I have to be patient.
I should add that we do hire local guards for the exterior of the facility, but they are no match for a large scale attack. They are really trip wires for an external threat. Sometimes they are armed, sometimes not.
Yeah, OK, we get you don’t like the hearings. So go do something else.
