(CNSNews.com) - The House Select Committee on Benghazi will not subpoena Hillary Clinton's email server, because it can't, committee chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday.
"Well our committee doesn't have the power -- under our rules, we don't have the power to seize a personal property like that. The House as a whole, that's franky an open constitutional question as to whether the House as a whole has that legal authority, but frankly, we shouldn't have to compel it," Gowdy said.
"You can subpoena but the power to subpoena is only as good as the power to compel compliance," Gowdy, an attorney, said. "But rather than have that protracted legal battle, I don't know why she doesn't just turn the server over."
At her news conference on Tuesday, Clinton said the private email server she used during her time at the State Department "contains personal communications from my husband and me, and I believe I have met all of my responsibilities and the server will remain private."

“I don’t know why she doesn’t just turn the server over.”
Gee, I do.
Come on. Have not y’all figured out that NOTHING will happen from this or any other scandal. The whole D.C. cabal are totally corrupt. The banksters will nominate their two candidates & y’all will think that you have done your civic duty to run down like a heard of cattle to vote for one of these two pukes, which have no interest in your well being.
MacCracken was subpoened duces tecum and he destroyed paper claiming it was private
Just thinking the same thing although I actually think they are on the same side of the commies I mean democrats.
A Lot of things can happen in that amount of time....
Secret Service beside guarding dignitaries is in charge of investigating fraud and money laundering under the umbrella of Homeland Security. Why wouldnt this fall under their jurisdiction ? You can’t tell me they were unaware of the Clintons computer use or incoming threats from the web!
Am still wondering if it isn’t their server that the Clintons used
Have you checked into the Clintonemail.com IP address?
As far as I am concerned, once she used that server for goverment business it was no longer her “personal” server and it and andy associated backups need to be handed over. Should have keep your yoga emails on you personal account and you work emails on a .gov account.
Understood. That doesn’t mean you don’t try, that you don’t put Biden in a damaging position.
Defense doesn’t put points on the board, offense does. You can not win without going on offense.
Theater is complicity
Then get rid of the committee, because it apparently has no useful function.
Is that the equipment Mrs. Clinton is using to process her in-home server?
Funny... the IRS can seize anything they want to seize..
and Congress can seize nothing?..
SOMEONE... is playing hockey with a warped puck.. with no ice.. and a bent stick..
Their subpoena power flows through the attorney generals office, if that helps any
I vote “kabuki”.
I was called a shill because I said Gowdy would produce nothing but noise. Well...here we are again with all talk Gowdy.
“Several” have been posted or given on TV. Virginia , the house in NY. NYC. Could it be mounted in one of the SS vehicles. Van? Limo ?
SOMETWO?
If she had wanted to keep private business private, she would have used a separate laptop of her own. This was planned as a way to conceal all that she did with full confidence that no republican would stand up to her.
Well the crooked US government better clean up its house soon or we are all gonna get nuked. The world cannot put up with this insane nonsense much longer. And the Russians and the Chinese and the Indians are gearing up for something.
