The Benghazi investigative committee on Tuesday formally requested former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton give a transcribed interview detailing her decision-making in determining which emails she turned over to the government and why she wiped her email server clean.
Chairman Trey Gowdy said Mrs. Clintons unique arrangement with herself in which she claimed complete control of government business emails needs to be explained, and nobody other than Mrs. Clinton can do that.
The interview would be behind closed doors, but would be part of the committee investigations record. A public hearing would follow eventually, once the select investigative committee has gathered all of the documents it believes it needs, said Mr. Gowdy, South Carolina Republican, in a letter to Mrs. Clintons lawyer.
We continue to believe Secretary Clintons email arrangement with herself is highly unusual, if not unprecedented, he said. The decision to delete these records during the pendency of a congressional investigation only exacerbates our need to better understand what the secretary did, when she did it, and why she did it. ~snip~
Mr. Gowdy said the questions include why Mrs. Clinton refused a government-issued account and set up her own account and server; why she kept the emails herself rather than turning them over to the State Department when she left office in early 2013; and how she decided which of the 62,000 emails from her time in office she would delete, and which she would turn over.
The chairman also pointedly made clear that since the emails are under committee investigation, any action to destroy them would be illegal. He said thats why Mrs. Clinton must turn her server over to a neutral third party a request Mrs. Clintons team has rejected, saying she has already complied with the law.

Exactly, she’ll lie through her teeth. She’s a pro.
Seriously, nothing will happen. Democrats are not subject to US law.
By the time these hearings are said & done,
the Media will have Hillary!™ serving [sic] "Grilled Gowdy"......
Several people testified to Congress that the IRS emails were gone and did so with a straight face.
Then they “found” them.
Same as Clinton did in the 90’s with files. She claims she’s a hoarder. I give it a 50/50 chance she didn’t actually do it.
She probably still has all of it.
The House has no enforcement authority and the DOJ will never prosecute.
It is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
The Republican party can only talk an impotent rage.
Trey Gowdy should have already obtained and executed search warrants to obtain the servers and any other relevant records.
Send to SWAT and if she resists, deal with it.
This entire circus is taking too long......and I think it’s by design.
