Trey Gowdy, an outspoken Republican congressman from South Carolina, blasted Obama administration officials during Wednesday's House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the Libya U.S. Consulate terrorist attack, raising his voice to levels rarely heard on the House floor.

They lied to the American People, he is pissed.

They lied to the American people and

The American People are Pi$$ed!!

I would think the smart republicans (few though they may be) would visit FR. They could learn a lot.

He’s in the 4th district. Greenville/Spartanburg. Proud to call him my congressman.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

He’s running again.

I watched the Holder/Fast & Furious hearings. Gowdy, a former prosecutor knew perjury when he saw it. When it was obvious that Holder was lying, I thought Gowdy was going to drag him out back to kick the sh!t out of him.

As you said, nothing happened and nothing will until much more of We The People demand it.

[Qwackertoo]

Trey Gowdy is awesome, yep we need many more like him.

Memo to GOP:

More Gowdy.

Less Boehner.

Absolutely!!! And more of Ms. Sandy Adams (R-FL) who handed the State Dept. flacks their hats at the Libya hearing yesterday!

[annieokie]

you got that right, except we can’t do anything about it, he can and he will.

[PubliusMM]

I rather like this guy. It will be interesting to watch his career unfold, to see if he can maintain a hint or moral purity after a few more years. I wish him the best.

And, to his remarks...Hear! Hear!

“Dems are going to say it’s all ‘top secret’ CIA stuff...”

Yup, and that is how they are going to try to keep Romney from mentioning any of this in the next debate. Rep Gowdy is fantastic. I just wish he had more time to grill those two numbnuts from the State Dept.!

Wow! Zero on Letterman days later, saying it was the video; Clintoon saying “In fact”, that it was a “protest” and related to the video. We have the facts, but Zero has Minitru on his side. It is doubtful that the truth will come out anytime soon.

Rep. Gowdy was right on point. Who started the story that Nakoula's video started the violence? Ambassador Patrick Kennedy lied through his teeth about it. He refused to name anyone but kept insisting that "intelligence sources" were the source of it in spite of the fact that DAS Lamb testified that she was in contact with consulate personnel in real time an no one ever mentioned any protest or gathering of any kind.

At U.N., Obama again blames Libya attack on video September 25, 2012

14 days after the attack!

Damn! I like this guy. I hate to admit he was unknown to me previously.

He needs to BE the committee chairman!

Dems are going to say it's all 'top secret' CIA stuff...

Not to the Intelligence Committee. Huge political mistake on the Democrats' part to drag them into this. If the GOP members want to press it, this is the place to do it. BTT.

[Secret Agent Man]

yup.

per the one few funny snl skits, from long ago,

NEEDS MORE GOWDY!

[nutmeg]

We need a Congress FULL of Trey Gowdys!!

[TigersEye]

I really liked the questioning by Rep. Sandy Adams (R) FL.

Ping!

Want on or off this ping list? Just drop me a FReep mail.

Sorry if this posts more than once. FR servers are flaky tonight to say the least.

[Humal]

Good! Thank you both.
