The chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi says Hillary Clinton’s testimony will be delayed until the panel gets all relevant documents from the State Department.
“Simply put, the Committee must have the records of communication requested more than six months ago before the secretary’s appearance can be scheduled,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) wrote Thursday in a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry.
Gowdy's decision throws cold water on the idea that Clinton, a 2016 contender, could appear before the panel next week, as her attorney offered.
In a May 4 letter to Gowdy, Clinton's attorney said the 2016 presidential contender was willing to appear before the committee – but only once. The letter said she could testify the week of May 18, a date previously requested by Gowdy.
“Secretary Clinton is insistent she will appear once and only once before the select committee,” Gowdy said in a separate statement Thursday. “The committee must be equally insistent that her appearance is thorough and fully productive.”
That “requires the record to be complete so the members can effectively base their questions on documents,” he added.

Ray Charles could see that one coming.
How soon before we learn Gowdy “donated” to the Clinton Foundation?
With all due respect brother, I too feel the ship has sailed some time ago and Gowdy is just doing Boneheads bidding. Cryin’ Johnny has no idea what testosterone is or even how to spell it.
I would hate to see it turn out like that,
I really want to see Herself snared in her
own web of lies.
I pray for Divine Providence to wreak
a just decision for her many crimes.

Agreed. What is the use of dragging Hitlery up to be grilled without having all the ammo you need?
This idea that Herself can dictate when and how often
she will appear is proof that she considers Herself
beyond the law. In reality she should be dragged
kicking and screaming from the palace gates, trussed
up and thrown into the bay to see if she floats.
I can’t argue. I want to see her in prison and Billy Jeff right alongside.
Do I detect the whole scenario may well get lost in the shuffle of time and oncoming media events.
I was derelict in not making the precursor to my statement of; Although it pains me to say this . . .
Hooah!
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.

- Trey, if you had balls your response would be to subpoena (compel her to appear) her as early and often as you like. Oh, and the documents handlers would be in jail or fired or both for failure to comply.
This ain’t a garden party, former prosecutor.

Is there something to the fact that your FReeper handle is “triple” and you triple posted? :-)
“No, he just wants enough to hang her before hand,
more mines in the field, so to speak.
I haven’t given up on him yet.”
I was watching a true “who done it” show on TV a short time ago (maybe a week ago), and there was Trey Gowdy, the prosecutor of that case. He was as tough then as he is now and got a conviction in that case. Yes, now. Just because he can subpoena her now, he’s not doing it for a good prosecutorial reason.
We don’t know the particulars of his prosecutorial plan for this case, so some Freepers throw their usual tantrum wanting something to happen just so something happens.
If one knows the measure of a man, keep your trust in him to do his job right. I’m really sick of the slicing up of Gowdy because I know the measure of the man.
When I read this, my thoughts went to the problem Hillary now has.
The longer the State Department drags it’s feet, the closer to the election these hearings get.
Is it possible that this is Gowdy’s counter-punch to her refusing two meetings, by refusing to have the hearings until he gets everything he wants?
At least, that is my hope - that he is using “strategy” on her.
“At least, that is my hope - that he is using “strategy” on her.”
I’m sure Gowdy knows what he is doing, he won’t stop until he nails her.
Delay, delay, delay and then say...... That is old news.
