Rep. Gowdy: ‘I Have Evidence’ of Benghazi Cover-Up
Tea Party Crusaders ^ | May 3, 2014 | Ted Beamon

Posted on 05/06/2014 7:29:56 PM PDT by lbryce

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.

> I called his office about 8 months ago. The Wiki on him actually listed the names and ages of his children and the schools they attended. I told them to get that info off the net.

They probably already had all that info from his NSA transcripts anyway but I can see the 0bozo liberal mafia acting nuts and doing something with his information online. I bet the NSA as a full-time team dedicated to surveilling Gowdy’s every move and listening to every conversation. He has one big target on him right now. The only reason they won’t act right now is because it would be way too obvious.

They have to keep the puppet alive. Otherwise we’d have thousands of elementary schools and ghetto streets named after him.

Who ever thought our government could turn into a Banana Republic?

Considering the 30+ CIA operatives at the annex, it’s more likely the entire operation was guns/weapons running to MoBro/al-queda terrorists in Syria.

Let's nail’em. It's been obvious that they have withheld evidence, it's time we demanded accountability.

I think it would have worked..because Obama would have been seen as a hero saving a US Ambassador..Israel traded in hundreds of Palestinian criminals to get back one Israeli soldier..all Obama would have had to do is give back ONE guy..I think that was the original intent, because it just made too much sense, first we hear the rumors about the Blind Sheikh then this happens, its just all too convenient

I said right after seeing the Breitbart CPAC speech that he can't toy with this bunch of liberals that way. You cannot announce that you have damning evidence that you will only release a month or so from now, and then expect to live to actually release it.

If you're going to announce it, release it immediately and then let the committees pick up the pieces in the aftermath. Don't use the committee as the platform for the release, because you may not get that far in the process.

No, they didn't expect anyone to show up..after all,the military was told to STAND DOWN by obozo. And when the plan blew up in his face, and that includes the ugly lizard face of that muzzie Valerie Jarrett, she probably advised him to make himself scarce, until they come up with a feasible story to tell the press, to cover up the truth of what really happened and the true story of obozo’s aiding and abetting the enemy of We the People by assisting them in a uprising by supplying them with arms, the continuing unrest, according to obozo’s plan, of these various countries and the implementation of strong jihad muzzie leaders to take over these countries. obozo and his cronies should be tried for treason & murder, and swing from a rope for what they've done to We the People and this country...hopefully this will happen in my lifetime.

NOW, will the truth of what is plausible come out to the public. Will the folks on The Five, or Greta or Megyn or Brett or Hannity on Fox bring this true story to light? Will Rush or Mark Levin or any other conservative talk show host bring this to light and tell the people about it? That's why these talk show hosts need to be pounded to tell the truth, to do their research..it's all out there on Google, like we did, and start opening their mouths with facts and figures. I only hope this happens in my lifetime.

I agree and we ALL know that its Valerie Jarrett that runs the show..Obama won’t take a dump unless Jarrett tells him to push..Jarrett is the President, Obama is her puppet..I think she is probably the one that came up originally with the whole idea, it blew up in her face, and that is why the military was told to stand down..she was upset her plan failed so she let them all die
