... Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., denounced the subpoena of Kerry as "shockingly disrespectful," protesting that Kerry should have been given more time to prepare and that committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., should have followed a more formal process for issuing the subpoena.
“These actions are not a responsible approach to congressional oversight, they continue a trend of generating unnecessary conflict for the sake of publicity, and they are shockingly disrespectful to the Secretary of State,” Cummings, the top Democrat on the oversight panel, said in response to the subpoena.

Almost as “shockingly disrespectful” as what those four Americans went through, right Elijah? Almost! Idiot! Stop being part of the KNOW NOTHING “congress” and let’s get to the bottom of this!

Like Obama, he’s got the “melanin shield” to keep people from pointing out his corruption and incompetence.
That’s why the ‘rats put him out front.

So finding out the TRUTH is racist now? I guess in a PC world that would be very true... "In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell

Hi.
I don't care about Kerry, get Hillary, Nuland, and the rest of State's "honchos" at the time, and put them under oath.
Kerry is a sideshow.
Paging Valerie Jarrett, please pick up the white courtesy phone in the Hall.

Elijah Cummings goes to Sheila Jackson Lee for advise!!
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Now, it isn’t like Jean-Francois Kerre` hasn’t ever testified before Congress, like on April 22, 1971, when he very assertively laid out what he thought was the case against the Viet Nam “involvement”.
Come on, Mr. Secretary. Use your finely honed oratory skills to explain just what happened in Benghazi. And don’t spare anybody’s feelings.

Yep, and the liberal searchlights are sweeping the skies over Washington waiting for the next bomb to drop on their ant hill of deceit and deception.

Elijah Cummings needs to be locked up for obstruction. He's too confused as to what his role is in all of this, he thinks he's everyone’s defense attorney.
