Rep. Trey Gowdy came out swinging at Tuesdays hearing of his Select Committee, laying into Democrats for playing political games and blasting the State Department for refusing to produce documents and for preventing witnesses from testifying before the committee.
...
At the hearing, the State Departments liaison officer to Congress said that more documents would be produced in the coming days, including emails from Secretary of State Clinton giving the lie to oft-repeated Democrat claims that everything relating to Benghazi was already on the public record.
...
two very real stand-down orders were issued that night by Secretary Clinton, apparently in tandem with John Brennan at the White House, which had the effect of slow-rolling the government response to the crisis.
They refused to convene the Counterterrorism Security Group (CSG), the only structured, experienced, interagency reaction team that could have decided which resources of the government were available for deployment immediately.
They refused to activate the State Department-led Foreign Emergency Support Team (FEST), an extraordinary operational unit on call 24/7 that included special operations troops and its own airlift, which could have secured the compound and the Annex and prevented the loss of classified data.
In addition, the President himself, by not personally taking charge of rescue efforts, never stood up the governments vast national security apparatus.

gun-running?
...
State Department was engaged in efforts to collect some 15,000 surface-to-air missiles (MANPADS) that had gone missing from Qaddafis arsenals
...
at least 400 of those missiles were smuggled into Agadiz, Niger, where they were upgraded with CIA-supplied batteries and new gripstocks, then were shipped to al Qaeda-affiliated groups around the world.

Wish he was this excited about stopping the Mexican and Central American invasion.
Yeah, great hearings! Unless something comes of it, it means nothing! Really tired of all these hearings that have no real outcome or effect! Change history or go away you clowns!
No jailtime? Gowdy talks well.
We need teeth.
If this can destroy Hillary politically we are all better off
What? Criminal treason.
I think stopping Clinton is plenty big enough a job.
fl
Rowdy Gowdy is starting to resemble Daryl Issa as examples of style overshadowing substance.
nothing short of jail time for Clinton is just a dog and pony show
There was an article a couple of weeks ago that quoted one of FOX’s retired military talking head that stated the fix was in and Gowdy was taking orders from GOP-E leaders to kill the investigation.
Issa out.
Gowdy in.
Same ‘ol result...
The 0bama crowd has already gotten away with it. No committee will ever reveal the truth: that 0 deliberately allowed his buddies to get away with killing Americans and did nothing about it.
His true buddies are not Americans.
The State Dept laughed in his face with endless smirk.
Like Lerner, they know the GOP has no balls. NONE.
More phony Broadway antics from Amnesty Gowdy to fool the Bubbas . This Amnesty cheerleader held a LaRaza Committee event and closed the unreal event to real Americans trying to stop the invasion. Trey were is Lois and the IRS traitors ?. Lois has a fat pension and living the good retired life and the same IRS scoundrels are shaking us down for our Obamacare taxes. I am tired of his phony theatrics.
