BENGHAZI PROBE LEADER WANTS FORMER SECRETARY TO TESTIFY … TWICE
|| By FITSNEWS || The lead congressional investigator of the 2012 terrorist attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Libya isn’t buying what former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is selling …
Trey Gowdy – whose Benghazi probe has jumped to a higher energy level in light of Clinton’s mushrooming email scandal – said this week he expects the former Secretary of State to appear before his panel at least twice to answer questions.
According to Gowdy, Clinton’s recent attempt to defuse the scandal over her secret email account has created “more questions than answers.” And he wants answers to those questions.
Specifically, Gowdy wants Clinton to testify once in private “to clear up her role and resolve issues surrounding her exclusive use of personal email to conduct official business” and once in public to discuss the September 11, 2012 attack that left four Americans (including a U.S. ambassador) dead.
Interesting …
Clinton has refused to allow access to the private email account she used because “the server contains personal communications from my husband and me.”
Really? Then why did former president Bill Clinton tell The Wall Street Journal he’d only sent two emails in his life (both of which were sent during his time as president)?
Hmmmm …
“Secretary Clinton alone created this predicament, but she alone does not get to determine its outcome,” Gowdy said. “These public records at issue are broader than Libya and broader than Benghazi. The Secretary of State has enormous responsibility and jurisdiction and the public, the media and Congress have a legal right to access these public records without impediment.”
He’s correct … federal law is explicitly clear that government business conducted on private email accounts must be preserved. Clinton failed to follow that law, and she should be held accountable for that failure.
Clinton’s email scandal comes just weeks before she planned to announce her candidacy for the office her husband held from 1993-2001. It also breathes new life into efforts (like these) to keep her from securing the Democratic nomination … which a few weeks ago seemed a foregone conclusion.

Duh…I thought Gowdy was stupid, and would buy every ounce of Bull-S#!t, idiot Hillary puts down.. Hint: .A SCOOP, this is NOT!!!….
That said: She’s a Democrat. And as corrupt as she is, unless the Democrats (the media) see her as a lost cause…NOTHING will happen to her.
That’s America today. The media is the (in) justice system…and being Republican and/or white are unforgivable offenses.
For Democrats – especially if you are Black – anything goes.
But in milquetoast Hillary’s case, this may even HELP her get nominated. Add to her street cred…..since Democrats love to flaunt their hatred for the law…and the ability to F*#k the people who actually follow the law….
Thank you for being a great argument for Common Core in South Carolina. I think after attempting to read one of your incoherent comments, we can all agree that SC schools have failed us.
Do you people EVER produce ANY original thought?
They’re back on Benghazi again. Yawn.
Hell. Why is Gowdy so special? I think everyone with a right mind doesn’t believe Hillary.
Yeah, corruption is so rampant among the Democrats…you idiots are bored with it, aren’t you? Getting away w/ breaking the law is nothing new for you.
Maybe you can go talk with Colin Powell – he used a private email address too.
LMAO….Talking-point.com
Dumb@$$….Hahaha..thanks for the laugh…
What about those Bush and Rove emails that got housed on the RNC server. You know, the ones that were accidently deleted by the RNC. Can we get those soon.
Arrest them if you can, you IGNORANT F*@k..you have a stable of corrupt DAs who will indict them for breathing if they could find ANYTHING…
But there was NO appearance of scandal associated w/ Bush or Cheney…they were actually patriotic Americans, who put serving America ahead of politics and attacking enemies…
Any claim that they were doing anything shady is a figment of your deranged and weak mind…and makes you look stupid…
“Really? Then why did former president Bill Clinton tell The Wall Street Journal he’d only sent two emails in his life (both of which were sent during his time as president)?”
Easy explanation. Hillary doesn’t allow back talk. All the e-mails (except the 2 Bill said he sent) were from her to Bill issuing orders.
Correct, Bill receives a ton of email from Hillary. He can receive and read’ em, then delete’ em and issue only two. Actually, that is pretty smart. Email. Twitter, Facebook appear to get a lot of folks in sticky situations.
EMAILGAHZI!!! Glad Trey is on it. He’ll get to the bottom of this on time for Hillary’s second term.
Second term?!?! She won’t even be the candidate. She isn’t Slick Willie.
I see the Sarge is in full Republican mode now.Nothing like a Clintonto arouse these “Independent “types
Bill was actually not a bad president (partly because he was effectively checked by a Republican Congress). On the other hand, Hilary had been an unmitigated disaster at everything she’s touched.
Bill Clinton was not a bad President because Newt Gingrich checked him.
Hillary Clinton – “…it would be easier,”…“better,”…“simpler”… and more convenient to…carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two,”
Funny, I have a “gubamint” phone and have not one, not two but three email accounts installed on it.
Her last name is Clinton?
Yes, she was named for singer, songwriter, George Clinton and Sir Edmund Hillary the first man to climb the South Pole.
She’s said to have a family resemblance with George. http://www.biography.com/people/george-clinton-537674
Laughing so hard it hurts!
They just need to be careful here. Getting too rough with Hillary makes her the victim, and women will run to her side. The GOP already has a gender gap issue, they’ll just make it worse.
Trust me, women will not run to her side. Women can spot a liar we hear one. Her arrogant, unladylike and abrasive personality REPEL us.
Are you taking about yourself. Because if so, I agree.
Odd because last night my wife was angry for everyone picking on Hillary. Not casting aspersions Mom – I just think a lot of women will rush to her side. Not taking a partisan position here, just common sense.
Okay here’s the deal – Women are the one minority who don’t look out for one another. It’s in our DNA.
My view is that Hillary is a strong woman who can not and will not be bullied or picked on. Sympathy is not the reaction I get when she is questioned about her emails.
Aside from the fact that I disagree with her political beliefs, I do not find her likable, appealing or attractive.
My “feminine intuition” tell me she is lying. As Rocky’s wife has demonstrated with her anger, women are emotional beings. We don’t take well to being lied to or underestimated.
Hillary is not the only person in the world who has had to deal with personal emails v. professional emails. Personally, I’ve never had a high security job like hers. But I have always kept my personal emails separate from my professional emails if for no other reason than to prove I was actually working when I was supposed to be and not emailing.
zzzzzz,
“Personally, I’ve never had a high security job like hers.”
Duh. No surprise there.
Please hurry home. Your hubby will be home soon and will expect dinner to be on the table. Are his slippers and paper ready?
With your androgynous name, I can’t tell whether you’re a girl or boy – probably a little of both. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Back to the point, since you seem to have gotten off topic with your emotions getting the best of you. Hillary will lose “girl votes” over this scandal. It is highly unlikely that Anti-Hillary voters are going to cross over to vote for her b/c they feel sorry for her for being “picked on”. Simply put, she wasn’t smart enough to put 2 emails on one device. Next when asked for disclosure of her emails, her response was, “Sure, let me just delete a few first.”
Yeah. ‘Cause no women voted for Haley
Haley is likable, ladylike, feminine, warm and attractive. She doesn’t where ugly pants suits to hide her fat ass. She is fit and attractive. Sorry to be sexist, but no one wants to look at a fat old ugly woman in a pants suit.
Good grief, are we really ready for 4 years of this type of stuff?
Gowdy knew this past summer about Hillary’s private server and email. He wasn’t raising any public sand over it till now. Why?
For those that don’t know, nearly every staffer in DC carries 2 phones (or at least they used to) so that they can keep most of what they send and say off of official government resources…and keep them from FOIA requests. Many of the legislators never touch their official email so that there’s no “paper trail” of anything they’ve been discussing. Maintains plausible deniability. The queen just took it to another level of dishonesty…
The “dog ate my homework” routine from these goons is getting really fucking old.
The Republican Party has promised us a smooth transition of hate from Obama to Clinton.
“The Republican Party has promised us a smooth transition of hate from Obama to Clinton.”
Trey Gowdy is a pompous jackass.
And that’s just his hair!
Bill Clinton had Ken Starr; Hillary has Gowdy. I wonder if Gowdy is so naive that he doesn’t see that the day Boehner “gave” him that committee assignment was the same day Gowdy sealed his legacy. Bill Clinton is still a force in the political arena. Where is Ken Starr today??? Answer – where Gowdy will be after the next presidential election cycle. Sorry people of the 4th district – your representative will remain someone who follows an agenda rather than someone who sets an agenda.
Trey Gowdy is a small, small minnow in a huge lake. He can be swatted away like a gnat. He’s is nothing big or special.
The best thing Hillary Clinton has working for her is Trey Gowdy.
Gowdy is just a BIG Bag do nothing Bag of Wind. All talk talk talk, and NO BALLS to do anything about anything.
