Rep. Trey Gowdy said Friday that he has evidence of a “systematic, intentional” effort by the Obama administration to withhold documents from Congress about the 2012 Benghazi attacks that killed four Americans.
“I have evidence that, not only are they hiding it, there’s an intent to hide it,” the South Carolina Republican told “On the Record With Greta Van Susteren” on Fox News. “I can’t disclose that evidence yet, but I have evidence that there was a systematic, intentional decision to withhold certain documents from Congress — and we’re just sick of it.”
House Speaker John Boehner is considering Gowdy to head a select committee to investigate the Libyan attacks on Sept. 11, 2012, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, including two former Navy SEALs.
The speaker said Friday that the House would vote on a resolution to establish the panel next week.
Gowdy, 49, a former prosecutor who is in his second House term, made the accusations in response to a question on Secretary of State John Kerry being subpoenaed — also on Friday — by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
The panel, chaired by California GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, wants Kerry to explain why the panel did not receive a 2012 email showing Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes counseling former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to link the Benghazi attacks to an anti-Muslim video.
The email, released Tuesday by Judicial Watch, was not among the documents the oversight panel received in response to its subpoena last year. The committee received the document this week.

Bump
My thoughts exactly or please keep it under wraps—makes me nervous for him.
My theory from the beginning, from the second this happened was that this was supposed to be a Blind Sheikh for Stevens swap..that was the original intent, because weeks prior there had been rumors about a deal going down and the state department kept on denying it but in a half ass kind of way, not a full out denial..so I think the deal was done, something went wrong and Obama basically said F it let them all die and the cover up began
Out with it then dork
Breitbart.com (many folks involved) and the Cop in Arizona have been saying they have the explosive smoking gun on different things for years. I hope this guy doesn’t just talk BS and shows results. Conservative politicians are not the best at getting results, but talk a great game.
Last week’s news.
> Come out with it, man before you get Breitbarted.
That’s what I’m saying. I would refuse any Secret Service protection details lest the drive you down a back road near one of their ‘company disposal facilities’ where they’d put a bullet in your head then grind you up, fry you, and dispose of your ashes out at sea.
It would be all private protection for me if I were him.
And I'm CERTAIN he knows that even if he had a handwritten memo from Obama telling everyone in the Executive branch to withhold documents and LIE to Congress, he still would not have JACK.
Bengazi will be settled in the political arena. There will never be Charges brought and there will never be compelled testimony, or else.
ONLY Political pressure and embarrassment will gain any useful information.
Remember when we had positive feelings about our government?
EVERY Congressman is covering up WHO HUSSEIN REALLY IS.
We’re supposed to be happy that Gowdy is admitting what everybody watched on TV for 2 years (Hussein and his cabal abandoning 36 people at BENGHAZI, then lying about it)?
It’s like they shoot us in the face 100 times, then take a lemonade break, and ask us to be ‘thankful’ for the 5 minute interlude.
yep.
Now we suffer the bewilderment, confusion, corruption and mistrust that symbolize banana republics.
We have crossed the rubicon.
If he were white? Someone would have shot him by now! If that isn’t racism/ tell me what is!
I’m sure he’s smart enough to have it stored in many places to be released in case something happens to him.
I hear Glen Beck has something bigger.
Hes a former Federal Prosecutor....Im certain he has his ducks in a row...his back covered..and his evidence in multiple duplicates... hard copy and otherwise .
Gid Bless Trey Gowdy and God Bless America!!
1. Missiles for Muzzies
2. Cyclops for Stevens
3. BOTH of the above...??
I feel the same way. He’s already had a gun pulled on him by a ‘crazy woman’ in his church parking lot during the first hearings.
