Trey Gowdy rips State Dept. over slow response in naming Benghazi terrorist groups

Janeen Capizola

South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy slammed the State Department Friday night over its slow response in finally naming the suspected terrorist groups responsible for the attack in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012.

“I think tomorrow [the State Dept.] is going to announce that we put a man on the moon, that the Berlin Wall fell and that we discovered this neat little drug called penicillin,” Gowdy told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren. “That’s about how far behind the intelligence our State Department is.”

The “shocking part,” Gowdy said, was that one day after the terrorist attack, members of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s inner circle – including Clinton’s Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills and Under Secretary of Management Patrick Kennedy – “admitted” that it was Ansar al-Sharia who was responsible.

“So I don’t know why, after a year and a half, they’re finally catching up with the rest of the world.”

As to what the American people can expect next as the wait for answers continues, Gowdy said depositions are ongoing in the House.

“I’m ready to send subpoenas to Hillary Clinton, [Former U.S. Ambassador] Susan Rice, Cheryl Mills and Patrick Kennedy. I’m ready to take their depositions. And I’m ready to send interrogatories to the president.”

Funneling weapons to narco-cartels in Mexico should be considered an act of war if you ask me.

It is/was, if you ask me.

Business as usual Monday morning.

Amen bro. Many people keep saying the Obungler could BBQ children on the White House lawn, and get away with it. Not one person will ever be held responsible for any scandal, not now, not ever. I would love to see it, but it just isn't going to happen, unfortunately.

Yep.

Too many people seem to fall all over the words of known liars.

Words of these people mean nothing to me. You either show me what you stand for by action, or you will never have my support.

I am tired of this never ending soap opera crap.

Oh, so and so made Death Panel Sebelius look like a whatever...

So what. Death Panel Sebelius still has the same amount of power and she is still abusing it as she sees fit all day long. Just an example.
