WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — The State Department said Monday that Secretary of State John Kerry would not appear before the House Oversight Committee on May 21 to talk about Benghazi — as demanded in a subpoena from the panel’s chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said Kerry planned to travel to Mexico at that time and officials would discuss alternative options with the committee.

Many questions to Carney yesterday about the WH cooperating with committee. Here's the answer, as if we needed one.

The State Dept does not operate under US Law.

It is directed by the Moslem brotherhood, al Qaeda,
Clinton, Huma, Obama, and Kerry; therefore in the
absence of Fatwa from overseas, they will NOT respond
to the useless, EXEMPT, docile, abdicated, Congress.

Here’s a thought, maybe they could hold Kerry in contempt of Congress? That worked out so well on Holder.

So basically “eat my shorts” is their answer.

If they don’t impeach Obama there isn’t much else that can be done except hold hearsings. I guess its good PR for the GOP but won’t accomplish much.

Arrest him then and defund the State Department until it demonstrates an attitude adjustment.

A State Dept spox said there are several articulate, well-informed staff that will testify.

"I'll testify as long as I can wear my Captain America tee shirt."

If the Republicans were serious (HA HA HA) that would send the House Sergeant at Arms to arrest Kerry and hold him indefinitely until he testifies.

Liberals remind me of the Germans in WWII.

Blissfully unaware and refusing to investigate that the smoke surrounding them and ashes gently falling into their children’s hair and alighting daintily on their tongues actually was people.

A better tactic is to go from the bottom up first. Can start with the 'Dude' guy. Bret got more info out of him in 20 minutes then all the previous hearings combined.

Minions are not as good at lying as the A Team is. Build up the evidence then bring in the top guns and hammer them with the testimony.

I guess its good PR for the GOP but won’t accomplish much.

Not until November of this year, and in 2016.

Nixon's shenanigans resulted in an electoral blowout.

In the 1974 mid-terms after Watergate, the Republicans lost 49 House seats -- retaining less than 1/3 -- and 4 Senate seats (to 61D-38R-1I). No real change in 1976, (except for Jimmy Carter, and the Democrats already had working majorities).

Then the house should cut off funds to the State Department (and any other department that is dragging their feet) until such time as they decide to cooperate.
