House Committees to Hold 3 Hearings on Benghazi This Week [LIVE THREAD] (Update: #218)
John Boehner ^ | September 18, 2013 | John Boehner

Posted on 09/18/2013 4:02:23 AM PDT by don-o

In the year since the Benghazi terrorist attack took the lives of four Americans, House Republicans have continually pressed the Obama administration for answers regarding events preceding the attack, the administration’s response, and what has been done to protect the lives of Americans going forward. Those efforts will continue with three House committee hearings this week. Here’s more:

The House Foreign Affairs Committee holds a hearing Wednesday, September 18th at 10 am ET titled: “Benghazi: Where is the State Department Accountability?” The committee notes that four employees placed on administration leave following the attack have recently been re-assigned within the department. This hearing “will examine why no one inside the State Department has yet been held accountable for the failures and deficiencies identified” in the Benghazi Accountability Review Board’s report. [TUNE IN HERE ] The House Oversight & Government Reform Committee holds a hearing Thursday, September 19th at 9:30 am ET with Benghazi Accountability Review Board co-chairs Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering and Admiral Michael G. Mullen, USN (Ret.), members of the Department’s security panel that conducted a review, and family members of those killed in the attack. The hearing will focus on the review board’s investigation and questions that still remain regarding the attack and the administration’s response. [TUNE IN HERE] The House Armed Services Committee will hold a hearing Thursday, September 19th at 3:30 pm ET on lessons from Benghazi and the Defense Department’s ability to respond to similar attacks today. [TUNE IN HERE]

Earlier this year, House Republicans released an interim report on Benghazi outlining the findings of five committees of jurisdiction investigating the attacks, and laying out next steps – including additional hearings and an ongoing effort to obtain access to witnesses and information being withheld by the Obama administration. “It is disgraceful that one year later, even though a number of the terrorists who participated in this attack have been identified, not a single one has been brought to justice, Speaker Boehner said last week, pledging that Republicans “will press forward with our investigation until we have answers, full accountability, and justice.”

Three Benghazi hearings in two days. Natural response, I am sure, is "Ho hum." But, you never know. Here's one the the best thing that FR does - real time commentary that analyzes, clarifies and debunks when necessary.

There are broadcast links in the original.

Uh, NO. There is NO "Ho Hum" from *ME*... it shows that the distractions of Syria, the Navy Yard, and whatever else this satanic man throws up, will work.

The proper focus on Benghazi is AWESOME.

Making calls is a good thing. Getting this thing to a Select Committee is what needs to happen. Have a look at Special Operations Speaks

From the site is a list of Congressmen who need to be called to sign the Discharge Petition.

Right on! I was kinda trying to preempt the gloomy naysayers. They WILL be here, of course.

An “ignore” feature would be so fine.

IF Benghazi is totally exposed, it will destroy the Obama Administration.

And with them some of the GOPe.

Nothing but an honest open analysis of this will accomplish anything. But if the truth is revealed, Obozo will be Gone. And a Lot of Congressmen & Senators with him.

Whatever it takes, may it be so.

The Congress will do NOTHING. They are a whoring,
self-serving, ruthless, group of TRAITORS to their Oath.

They are utter SCUM who let the First Moslem arm al Qaeda,
prostitute American children, disarm the US military
and the US popuulation, and have made the DO”J” and IRS
political.

I have an ‘internal ignore’ feature. :)

I am hoping that Benghazi is completely exposed. Mr. Snowden, white courtesy phone, please. Mr. Snowden, white courtesy phone.

You are correct. The Congress GOP-e is awful.

Nonetheless, suck up that lower lip and SOLDIER ON, because stuff happens despite their every effort. Make it a point to be instrumental in the 'stuff happening'.

“The proper focus on Benghazi is AWESOME.”

It is the FOCUS that is awsome because WE know people SHOULD be held responsible. Unfortunately, it will only lead to more reassignments and promotions because NOBODY in this administration is ever responsible for anything.

GOOD. The more the merrier. DC has turned into a cesspool with many, MANY anti-American supporters living within its boundaries. Its time the laws you and I have to live by and under apply to those assholes as well.

Thanks for ping! I have an appointment at 10:30, but will be around to watch this afternoon. Sure hope we get some truth.

Like many, I remain convinced that Benghazi was a gun and weapons running scheme by Obama, that others were aware of it and approved(like McCain and Graham) and that it is an impeachable offense. The fear of course, is that there are GOPe and democrat leaders that are running interference to keep the facts hidden from the American people to protect their own complicity and malfeasance from coming to light.
