Boehner has FINALLY confirmed that he will appoint a Special Committee to investigate Benghazi, which will be led by Congressman Trey Gowdy.
“The new emails this week were the straw that broke the camel’s back,” an aide stated. “The Speaker was furious to learn that the administration withheld relevant documents from a congressional subpoena. He’s sick and tired of this evasion and obstruction from the administration, and wants a solution to finally force accountability, get to the truth, and provide justice.”
Uh, yea to translate this RINO-politico-speak into reality: we just can’t ignore this anymore, sure would like to, but the pressure is just too great now.
Nevertheless, looks like we are finally on the road to getting something done about the illegal and inhumane activities of this traitor that occupies the White House. We as a people need to continue to demand justice on this issue to see it through, which is one issue of so many.
After more than two years of stonewalling from the Obama administration, House Speaker John Boehner has confirmed he will appoint a Special Committee to investigate Benghazi with Congressman Trey Gowdy leading the way. The Weekly Standard was the first to report a possible announcement of a Select Committee earlier this morning.
Here is the full statement from Boehner on the Select Committee:
“Americans learned this week that the Obama Administration is so intent on obstructing the truth about Benghazi that it is even willing to defy subpoenas issued by the standing committees of the People’s House. These revelations compel the House to take every possible action to ensure the American people have the truth about the terrorist attack on our consulate that killed four of our countrymen. In light of these new developments, the House will vote to establish a new select committee to investigate the attack, provide the necessary accountability, and ensure justice is finally served.
“The administration’s withholding of documents – emails showing greater White House involvement in misleading the American people – is a flagrant violation of trust and undermines the basic principles of oversight upon which our system of government is built. And it forces us to ask the question, what else about Benghazi is the Obama administration still hiding from the American people?
“The House committees that have been investigating this attack have done extraordinary work, using their subpoena power, holding dozens of hearings, and conducting hundreds of interviews. Without this work we would not know much that we do today. But it’s clear that questions remain, and the administration still does not respect the authority of Congress to provide proper oversight. This dismissiveness and evasion requires us to elevate the investigation to a new level. I intend for this select committee to have robust authority, and I will expect it to work quickly to get answers for the American people and the families of the victims.
“Four Americans died at the hands of terrorists nearly 20 months ago, and we are still missing answers, accountability, and justice. It’s time that change.”
Does this mean he will chose Mr. Gowdy or he has chosen Mr. Gowdy to head this committee. It is and will be a good choice of course, Mr. Gowdy is a highly respected Congr4essman as well as a great prosecutor who knows what questions to ask to get the appropriate answers.
EXCELLENT CHOICE!!!
“So if anyone wants to know what difference does it make, anyone wants to ask what difference does it make, it always matters whether or not you can trust your government. And to the families, we’re gonna find out what happened in Benghazi, and I don’t give a damn whose career is impacted. We’re going to find out what happened!!” Trey Gowdy on May 8, 2013 Hearing
It’s about time. Go get ’em Trey. And please please run for president !
It’s about time, everyone in the cover up should be charged with treason and removed from their position and jailed as per the LAWS of the United States of America.
