Hoping he’ll get a lot of air time. Trey Gowdy having more of a forum to blast the leftist elitists and knock down their talking points will be a treat for frustrated conservatives. The man is a genius at thinking on his feet.

[ScottinVA]

Immensely.

[TomServo]

And it will go absolutely nowhere...

Any body know how old that Beach is? Lerner doesn’t look to me to be old enough to retire with a regular benefit. She’s been on the payroll long enough to be vested, certainly, and she must be a GS-something-or-other, but she might need another paycheck to buy groceries in the near term. So she’ll be on the Kenyan’s anti poverty plan in the meantime?

These same six plus a seventh, Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), also voted for hearings on Benghazi.:

Reps. Ron Barber (Ariz.), John Barrow (Ga.), Mike McIntyre (N.C.), Patrick Murphy (Fla.), Collin Peterson (Minn.), Nick Rahall (W.Va.)

[NOVACPA]

Agree also.

Lerner is a mid-level bureaucrat and hack...taking that kind of policy direction is wayyyy above her pay grade.

I’m with you. I think BO, after getting wiped out in midterms of 2010 directed his minions to get rid of the TEA party via the IRS. Valerie Jarrett is probably the one that thought of it.
