Obstruction of Congress
Congressional Research Service

Summary

Obstruction of justice is the impediment of governmental activities. There are a host of federal criminal laws that prohibit obstructions of justice. The six most general outlaw obstruction of judicial proceedings (18 U.S.C. 1503), witness tampering (18 U.S.C. 1512), witness retaliation (18 U.S.C. 1513), obstruction of congressional or administrative proceedings (18 U.S.C. 1505), conspiracy to defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. 371), and contempt (a creature of statute, rule and common law). All but Section 1503 cover congressional activities.

This is treason plain and simple. Why?

-Arming enemies of America in Syria.
-Plotting the kidnapping of an American ambassador for purely political purposes.
-After the kidnapping plot went bad, LYING repeatedly to the American people about the cause and nature of the attack.

The solution? Arrest and try those who are responsible. If they are found guilty, hang them by the neck until dead just like Saddam “Hussein”.

Do we have the balls to do it? Absolutely NOT, dammit!

There are MANY more than 5 key points of today’s hearing, one of which is: Mr. Hicks was NEVER interviewed by the FBI

After hours of testimony Wednesday from witnesses to last year’s lethal terrorist attacks in Benghazi,...

NONE of today's three whistelblowers was in Benghazi on 9/11/12 and only ONE was even in Libya that day.

2. Our enemies have effectively been told: 'You wanna attack American interests to support your own cause? Well come on down - we won't oppose you!'

"And you have 12 hours, maybe more, before we'll send any troops to fight you."

According to your theory, the perps CAN’T be arrested. They’d sing like canaries at that point! Hmmmm.. Maybe.. Never mind.

6. Stevens was in Benghazi because Hillary had told him she wanted to open the embassy there on a permanent basis and he had replied “I’ll make it happen” - she was expected to visit the new full-time facility there by the end of the year - helps explain why he put himself in harm’s way even though every one knew Benghazi was a dangerous place - if only Hill and her thugs had shown as much loyalty and concern for Stevens.....

Why did Hillary have a “legal defense team” set up on 9/12?

His hands are unusually large. He is an odd freak.

I have been watching the re-play and oh joy, got to listen to the new liar congresswoman tammy duckworth, what a light weight.

I have a list of the ones I want to spit on should I ever have the opportunity to be face to face. These people are absolutely heartless. All politics, all power, all ego.

No "select committee!"

Let's get it all out in the open for the public, if they choose to watch.

There is no one more "select" than "we the people!"

I don't trust anyone in Congress to take private testimony for them to determine what the public get's to hear.

As it is, we're getting a scrubbed down version of the truth but if they get to do it behind closed doors, who knows what part of "truth" we'll ever know.

Those in the top spots in our government on both sides, make deals with one another so no one side gets further ahead than the other.

Besides, how many people might just disappear on their way to give testimony or if they did give closed door testimony, it would never see the light of day.

“This hearing is now over, but this investigation is not,” Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, told reporters in the hallway after the hearing.

I only read all the comments on the long live thread; Hotlanta Mike's comment above has this quote. and from what I read today, since the investigation is going to continue, I would not be surprised if there are more hearings.

But what do I know.
