In an attempt to dismiss the Benghazi Select Committee as a partisan witch hunt against Hillary Clinton, an ex-committee staffer has accused the panel of being obsessed with a political agenda.
Bradley F. Podliska, an investigator and Air Force Reserves officer, told The New York Times that the Benghazi committee was becoming “primarily focused” on Clinton. His comments come on the heels of Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s controversial statement on "Hannity," when he said the Benghazi committee was directly responsible for sinking Clinton’s poll numbers. Chairman Trey Gowdy (S-SC), while accepting McCarthy's apology, insisted his words can't "fix the damage" done to the panel.
Gowdy, again having to defend his committee’s work, responded to Podliska’s claim, noting the latter only voiced his so-called concerns after they refused his demands to pay him. Here’s the chairman's full statement:
Gowdy's statement on the fired Benghazi committee staffer is forceful - and should be pretty easy to verify pic.twitter.com/wPLKhFbRwn— Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) October 12, 2015
Gowdy has already proven he's a whiz at penning powerful letters. Last week, he torched his Democratic colleague Elijah Cummings for contributing nothing to the Benghazi committee's efforts except leaking lies to the media.
What is his present stand on illegal aliens?
There are two charges that underlie the "committee is a political witch hunt" meme the Left is spinning: 1) The committee is dragging its feet 2) The committee is focused on Hillary Clinton.
All one has to do is accept the reality regarding the private email server regarding evidence that was subject to subpoena and never turned over let alone even revealed as existing -all this now under criminal investigation by the FBI.
Simply put the committee has been delayed by Hillary, is still being delayed by Hillary; information is still dripping out ever so slowly BECAUSE of Hillary -all roads lead to Hillary. There is no witch hunt; there is a witch and her name is Hillary...
If you haven’t read Trey’s letter to Cummings, click on that link. It’s more than worth it.
If that is the case, then he should be charged.
