A leaked State Department email indicates that officials were worried about the safety of House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa after Democrats revealed his plans for a secret trip to Libya this week.
Issa, a Republican from California, has safely returned from his fact-finding trip to the country as his committee continues to investigate the terrorist attacks that killed Americas ambassador and three others in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012.
CBS News reported Thursday on an email that quoted a Libyan national sharing his concern and his opinion that Representative Issa should not come to Libya for his own safety.
The email reports that the Libyan thinks, the people who would harm Rep. Issa are the same people who conducted the Benghazi attacks.
Before Issas trip, Rep. Elijah Cummings, the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued a press release asking Issa to postpone his trip until he allows Democrats to join him.
Although you claim that your investigation of the Benghazi attacks is bipartisan, your efforts to secretly plan an official trip to Libya and then deliberately exclude Democrats from joining is part of an unfortunate pattern of partisanship that undermines the credibility of this investigation, Cummings wrote. The problem with these actions is that they effectively deny Democratic Members the ability to effectively investigate this incident.
Issas office responded on Thursday by lamenting the situation.
Ranking Member Elijah Cummings reckless release of information was not going to deter Chairman Issa from conducting his oversight responsibilities in the wake of the Benghazi tragedy, Issa spokesman Frederick Hill told The Daily Caller. Fortunately, despite the media attention and resulting threat, no security incident occurred during Rep. Issas time in Libya.
Jaz, Sharyl Attkisson did the earlier CBS report...
Elijah Cummings could also be an evil bastard or a blithering idiot. But I think you nailed it, he’s a “sleazy, slimy” s.o.b. doing the bidding of his Democrat plantation masters.
Normally I wouldn’t give a flying fig what that racist Cummings had to say, but since it appears his remarks may have jeopardized Issa - I’m totally infuriated.
Thanks, Smooth. I just read her article from your previous link and would not be surprised if he was doing the bidding of his Democrat plantation masters.
Neither he nor them have an ounce of integrity between the lot of them.
maybe it’s the “Taliban in the Building” that is the true danger to Issas life.
The goal was to OUT Issa. 'Democrats feeling left out' was the BOGUS EXCUSE given to out him.
WTF!
More likely they just read his email or tapped his calls.
Don’t surprise me I always thought the Democrats were Commie Turncoats!!!
Obama is just the puppet
Obama, Cummings, and the DNC are murderers.
They murdered the Ambassador and ANYONE who
has attempted to expose their treason.
And they continue their treason against the American
people for al Qaeda, Islam and neoNazism.
Obama and Cummings should have been indicted YESTERDAY.
“Obama and Cummings should have been indicted YESTERDAY”......
IMPEACHMENT would be more appropriate. Lets all stop wasting time and get it over with.
P.S. Cummings can go straight to Hell.
That’s where he came from.
Seriously, they’re trying to get each other killed now?
Yes.
Have heard that the Chinese call him “Monkey Man”, like the Organ Grinder’s Monkey. He dances to the tune of the Master.
That statement is late in this video. Pretty long video.
But the ARB report exonerated one and all. Benghazi happened "a long time ago." - Democratic Members are not interested in any further investigation. Like cockroaches, they scurry from any semblance of light.
(Well, that's probably what would happen if a white Republican revealed the secret trip plans of a black Democrat to a potentially hostile land, anyhow.)
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Don’t be fooled by the fact nothing happened, this was an attempt for one of two things to happen:
1. Issa listened to the threat and cancelled his trip, thus preventing him from maybe gathering evidence.
2. A hope that he would be attacked, and the admin could respond “Forcefully” and hopefully bury the previous events.
by sheer luck and Grace of God neither happened.
3. The terrorists kill Issa, and the effort to investigate what happened on 9/11/2012 peters out.
Been distracted by the drama in Washington. This slips under the radar. Cummings should be jailed.
