1. Two "stand-down" orders were given while the Benghazi attacks were in progress.

2. The "protest" about a YouTube video was a complete fabrication by the Obama administration.

3. Cheryl Mills, Clinton's lawyer at the State Department, told witnesses not to speak to House investigators.

One was Trey Gowdy and one was Jason Chaffetz (sp?). Gowdy has the fair hair combed back. I only read the thread and saw photos, didn’t watch.

Since 2008 I've been posting - whether about eligibility, Fast and Furious, his hidden background, communist mentors, transcripts, drug use, Benghazi - you name it:

What is Obama hiding and Why?

Guess I'll be posting that until we get some answers. . .

Thank you for doing what you do. Trouble is I am maxed out. I wish something will come from this but not holding my breath. Media in active stifle mode, RINOS doing coverage, and dumbass rats like Cummings taunting us stating in effect: I can say anything act like a buffoon and nothing will come from it.

6. The chief security officer proved that Hilderbeast was derelict on Benghazi security requests:

a) It takes her level of authority to approve the operation of the consulate and annex under the knowingly (legally) deficient level of security that it languished under.
b) It takes her level of authority to make decisions on staffing levels of shared resources from the DOD.
c) Hilderbeast gave orders to Ambassador Stevens to set Benghazi up as a permanent embassy.

So, she KNEW EXACTLY the risk / threat quotient of her outpost in Libya. There are only 15 locations around the world that have the top 2 threat classifications.

Hilderbeast gave orders to Ambassador Stevens to make Benghazi permanent - so she could make a big bru-ha-ha dog-and-pony publicity stunt with the Libyan pols and media lap dogs at her scheduled trip in about 6 months.

Will we be able to get rid of Biden, too?

Obama lied, Americans died.

One of the many odd things for those trying to understand the liberal perspective, as if their rules made sense even to them, is that the left is pretending not to care about a gay ambassador being murdered, not when their hand-picked diverse leader was responsible for bungling things. Apparently, race trumps gay on their grievance scale. Real Americans are offended that an American was murdered and don’t seem to care about the race or sexuality of the victims, just that they were people. We’re “bigots” to use the left’s favorite insult, because we don’t pay attention to how many diversity points the victim and the responsible person have in this sort of crisis.

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.

Select doesn't mean private.

And being told by political hacks, ‘Death is a part of life’ should just cinch it.

Still left unanswered in my mind is why the Islamist in Benghazi would not protect the ambassador. Wasn't he supplying weapons to them. So why leave him to die? That makes no sense to me.

Another thing I don't understand is why on then anniversary of 911 wasn't there heightened security. Cairo happened hours before Benghazi so there was plenty of warning that something was amiss. But nobody thought to get some fast movers on stand by. Nobody thought to maybe put the fast response troopers on the ready? I'd really like some answers.

Issa and the committee can get all the evidence they want, the BIG PROBLEM is what action(s) they will take once all the dust has settled. Will they bring charges against Odumbo and Hiltliary? I sincerely hope they do but doubt anything will be done.

Last night on Gretta’s late news, Issa was interviewed and he stated something like they were not looking for revenge, just the truth. that statement says a lot.

Spineless bast#rds, all of them.
