Abedin Testifies Before Benghazi Committee Behind Closed Doors… Gowdy a No-Show
RightWingNews.com ^ | 10/16/15 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

Posted on 10/16/2015 2:25:59 PM PDT by blueyon

What the heck is going on? First of all, Huma Abedin was allowed to testify behind closed doors. That should not have been sanctioned. She should have had to testify in public. The FBI is stone walling the case and not aggressively going after Hillary Clinton and her lieutenants like Huma Abedin. Now, Trey Gowdy doesn’t even show at her hearing and says there is no particular reason for it. This morning I heard that Clinton warned the GOP to lay off Abedin and now this. Abedin should have been raw meat for a prosecutor like Gowdy. This makes no sense whatsoever and it looks very, very bad. Cummings was almost an hour late as well. In fact, so many were late that Abedin left and came back. Just shaking my head over this.

The GOP may not go after Ms. Clinton for TREASON, but you can bet your home that they will continue to use the IRS to go after their base, and cover it up. The GOP is complicit in every treason, in every murder, in every RICO corruption. Every single one. Every single day. The GOP attacked Gov. Palin to make Obama their Tyrant, and have licked up for him, covering up EVERY crime, since then.

Many say ‘Joe McCarthy was right’.

Only the ones with a semblance of a brain.

A recent FNC tweet.

HumaAbedin: “I wanted to honor the service of those lost & injured in the Benghazi attacks.” #SpecialReport

She’s been trying to draft him a Speaker. Might be.

I just don’t buy anything regarding Gowdy wimping out on these klintoon hearings.

Me too ... being cynical that is. More often than not, it ends up even worse than my more cynical observations.

Haven’t been a fan of the way any of these hearings have been handled. Total bs in my books.

I’ll be happy to shout mea culpa if I’m wrong.

Trey Gowdy is too chummy with Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) .

I think it would be best to wait until all the participants get a chance to answer questions or take the fifth before deciding who gets a deal and who doesn't.

Also, I think it is just possible that a deal has already been made for immunity. Maybe several deals.

You don't know this, and it's probably false.

"Benghazi" and the emails are nothing. The organized bribery and tax evasion scheme known as the "Clinton Foundation/Global Initiative" contains enough felonies to send all of them away for life.

Give the pros time to do their work.

Well, I can't imagine the IT guy was doing anything other than what Hillary or Huma directed. I doubt he's an FBI target, so it makes sense to find out what he knows now, his info could push the investigation ahead by months.

And, we have no reason to suspect any immunity has been granted; no House committee has shown this kind of cleverness in the past. I think gowdy is doing as little behind the scenes as he's doing in front.

Wasn’t saying that at all. She will laugh all the way to the nomination. McCarthy practically gave her the election. I do trust Gowdy though.

Depends. We split up witnesses all the time depending on workload and strategy. Maybe he was consumed with fine tuning his questions for his one crack at Hillary. That one is for all the marbles and she won’t cackle her way out of his interrogation. Gowdy is legit. I think he has earned the benefit of the doubt.

You bet. But it stops there.☺

Out of 300,000,000 people the Democrats can't come up with a single person other than another Clinton.
