Boehner Taps Gowdy to Lead Select Benghazi Panel

Posted by Speaker Boehner's Press Office

May 5, 2014 Press Release

WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced today that he has chosen Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) to serve as chairman of the select committee to investigate the 2012 tragedy in Benghazi, Libya.

With four of our countrymen killed at the hands of terrorists, the American people want answers, accountability, and justice.  Trey Gowdy is as dogged, focused, and serious-minded as they come.  His background as a federal prosecutor and his zeal for the truth make him the ideal person to lead this panel. I know he shares my commitment to get to the bottom of this tragedy and will not tolerate any stonewalling from the Obama administration.  I plan to ensure he and his committee have the strongest authority possible to root out all the facts.  This is a big job, but Rep. Gowdy has the confidence of this conference, and I know his professionalism and grit will earn him the respect of the American people.”

NOTE: Last week, in response to the release of emails showing the White House was more involved in misleading the American people than previously known and the revelation that the Obama administration had withheld these documents from a Congressional subpoena, Speaker Boehner announced that he was establishing a new select committee to investigate the events surrounding the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.

part of this is completely a primary and election season ruse.

Ruse? Interesting choice of words. Which part?

There may very well be “quietness” develop around the MSM. There might also be sudden “talkitiveness.” A certain amount of “me too “ when it gets to be obvious krap is going to be exposed.

I always thot the Beengazy affair was much simpler a deal than postulated. It would be the only time the Kenyan’s bunch put together anything complex involving weapons or anything else. Don’t be surprised if it just turns out Stevens was queer as hell, took his house boy to a weekend campout, got caught by the locals who broomsticked him, and tried to burn his crash pad down And all the rest was simply an effort to hide the presence of dumbassness in the State dept? Remember that no Arab bunch ever claimed responsibility or demanded anything and that is more like a blood feud that a strategic attack.

Immigration Subcommittee Chair Trey Gowdy is leading this investigation. You have Boehner triangulating on all fronts regarding immigration. Pay attention to where Gowdy goes with immigration. Boehner is facing losing his speakership not to mention his primary.

It is a political trade done out of desperation.

Gowdy is of course a good choice. The problem is Boehner and duplicity go together like bread and butter. So while Boehner is appointing Gowdy with right hand, what’s the left hand up to?
