Hint: it won't be to "repent".
Pickering is a professional bureaucrat and a card-carrying member of the Washington Establishment, Foggy Bottom chapter.
What do you mean?
Yes, Pickering is an insider’s insider. But if he first declined to testify, and as of Wednesday he wants to, that would suggest that he heard something yesterday that he wants to squelch real hard. That runs counter to the party line put out today that there is nothing to see here.
That internal review that Hillary assigned Pickering and Mullens to conduct seems to be under some review itself, although the administration has tried to discount that by saying that all such internal reviews are part of the action.
There is something there that is very important.
Beck said that he had copies of files on the Saudi person of interest whose status got quickly and mysteriously altered. That all seemed to fizzle out. I was wondering if anyone knew of anything further from him on this
I asked Texax2009 who was going to be impeached???
The Inspector General of the State Department is investigating the ARB because there were a number of people who wanted to testify, but weren't invited.
Indeed, some of the principals weren't interviewed at all. Among others, Hillary and Hicks.
Further, there was evidently no stenographer and no recording of any of the interviews. Nor were witnesses allowed to review a transcript of their testimony (there being none). Accordingly, the Board was free to edit the testimony in a fashion favorable to their conclusion (or just make it up).
At this point, I would imagine the Committee would defer to the IG rather than have Pickering testify -- as it is not the ARB that is under investigation, but the event itself. Pickering's desire to testify is likely self-serving.
Whoa, Boehner is talking tough. C’mon, Boehner, grow a back bone.
I haven’t kept up with him but noted that there haven’t been posts about it any more, which I figure would be posted if he said more about it. I did hear the beginning of an interview he had with Rep Louie Gohmert and he mentioned that Gohmert was given the information that Beck had. Hardraade had mentioned that somebody from DHS had been asking around on a counter-terrorism site as to whether people believed Beck’s claims about Alhamdi being Bamza. As far as I know, Beck hasn’t come right out with the claim, and I suspect that somebody leaked the claim to beforeitsnews.com so that people would immediately disbelieve it and then it could never get legs if Beck brought it up.
But the members of Congress are a different story. They could make this a public issue by calling a press conference. They’re not doing that yet, and I’m wondering if they are trying to coordinate things with Benghazi, as well as possibly Fast & Furious and the findings of Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse. I actually hope so. I hope they are channeling the serious whistle-blowers into a course that can bear the necessary fruit and not just be blown off by most of Congress.
A Great Prayer to Pray. May God Hear us!
Who does he think he is, an officer of the Government?
IMHO, Gen. Ham would have a fatal car accident long before he ever testified in public .... what he saw and heard would fry Obama like a potato crisp.
From your keyboard to God's ears .... the Perfect Storm. How 30,000,000 Negroes and 6,000,000 gays and 80,000,000 women can be Wrong.
From your keyboard to God's ears .... and Bonebag's, and Issa's, and Cantor's .... all of 'em.
Guennie, I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day....Dallas
He well might be one of them but I would not put him at number one....and so many from which to choose. Where does one start??
