How often have you heard a Democrat exclaim that there have already been six (or more) hearings on Benghazi and in each case former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been exonerated? It’s usually followed by a statement decrying the millions of dollars that have been spent to pin it all on Hillary Clinton.
For insight on Rep. Trey Gowdy and his Select Committee on Benghazi, read the Wall Street Journal article referenced in this blog. (rickwells.us)
“It is true that other panels conducted Benghazi inquiries. It is equally true they failed to interview dozens of key witnesses, failed to access all information and inexcusably missed Clinton’s exclusive use of private email on her personal server for official business,” wrote Rep. Trey Gowdy, Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi, in a USA Today op-ed yesterday. His committee has reviewed some 50,000 documents not seen in the other investigations.
Even Rep. Mike Rogers, who chaired the House Intelligence Committee investigation, has refuted those who claim his hearing exonerated the State Department and the White House. “It does not, “said.
“… those calling for an end to the committee are either satisfied with an incomplete inquiry in the deaths of four Americans in Libya or unconcerned with accountability as it relates to the public record, “ Gowdy added.
If you are interested in a behind-the-scenes look at Gowdy and the fair work of his committee, I highly recommend the reading of “The Real Benghazi Investigation,” by Kimberly Strassel in the Oct. 9, Wall Street Journal. Click here.
