Washington, D.C. Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy (SC-04) released the following statement announcing the upcoming private testimony of additional witnesses:
Our committee continues to break an immense amount of new ground as we compile the most comprehensive accounting of what happened before, during and after the terrorist attacks in Benghazi. As we approach our 80th witness interview and work to release our report and recommendations before summer, its time for the administration to turn over the records this committee requested nearly a year ago. The American people and the families of the victims deserve the truth, and Im confident that the value and fairness of our investigation will be abundantly clear to everyone when they see the report for themselves.
The following witnesses will be questioned in private and bring the total number of witnesses interviewed to 79, including 62 who had never before been interviewed by a congressional committee (these are denoted with asterisks). This schedule is not comprehensive and is subject to change.
Thursday, February 25, 2016
Witness: Gentry Smith, former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Countermeasures within the State Departments Bureau of Diplomatic Security*
Tuesday, March 1, 2016
Witness: An eyewitness to the attacks from the national security community
Thursday, March 3, 2016
Witness: James Sandy Winnefeld, Jr., former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff*
Friday, March 4, 2016
Witness: Susan Curley, Managing Director of the State Departments Office of Management Policy, Rightsizing and Innovation*
This is the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States of America and we must not let this election stop us from winning the war.
The level of corruption with which I am familiar is mid-bottom level and while there is nothing a single citizen can do about it (because they are not a millionaire). Trey Gowdy should have the prayers of every man and the head-covered prayers of every Christian woman (so as not to offend the warrior angels who are battling over this nation).
This is not only a war for a job. This nation has been in a spiritual war since McCarthy and why haven't we won? We lose every little foothold. I am not only going to learn of what went on in DC when the heavenly court is in session, I am going to learn about who stayed home and didn't vote. Who stayed home and didn't mail a letter to their elected congress critter.
There was a time when our nation fought a civil war. There were Christians on both sides of that war whereas now the sides have become completely clear.
Does anyone expect ANY of the members of Congress to stay home and not vote? No. They will vote their party. Trey Gowdy will vote for the Republican. If y'all vote for DT to get him nominated, Trey Gowdy and every other Republican congress critter will vote for him.
Now that I'm done my rant, God Bless Trey Gowdy and his assistants. I wish he wasn't leaving because we still need him in our government.
Wow Trey Gowdy I have so faith in him
Thank you for posting this article.
I take it the unnamed witness is one of 30 or so whose identities have to be protected because the administration is after them and they have had to go into hiding. Our prayers are needed by the committee this week!
All Trey Gowdy can do is get the TESTIMONY from these people.
It is up to the public and the DOJ to do something about it.
And, the dance gores on. Congress is very good at substituting meetings for progress. How long has this been going on? What actions have been taken? The impotence of these meetings is astounding.
Look I’m talking therefore I must be doing something. What?
Thanks for posting!
How many decades of decadence does it take to get a conviction?
I suspect that this list of additional witnesses had something to do with the release of additional information by the State Department last week. “Well, shazam! Look what we just found! More information that you’ve been looking for for years.” (In an effort to avoid prosecution for obstruction of justice, in other words.)
AMEN! Prayer and fasting I would think. This is the greatest time of spiritual warfare for the world considering the greatest national abomination pre-born genocide is worldwide.
Your welcome. I wish I had searched for the Select Committee’s site when it was established but I trust Gowdy and have to defend him here on FR.
The dance. Take one episode of criminal minds and multiply that by 10,000 and you may get a view of what is going on behind the scenes. The FBI is working and the committee (some of them for, some AGAINST) and the worker bees under Gowdy and those on the committee working with him.
Have you ever read one criminal case brief? Do you know why it costs so much to for the best lawyers?
Ask Trump how much it cost him for all those lawsuits he loves and enjoys.
Because so many don’t know the length of time in getting to the truth in a Veteran’s Administration medical malpractice case and then have to go against a department of in-justice that thwarts getting at the truth it may seem like nothing is happening.
Intimidation of witnesses, and everyone here at FR should know about threats from lawyers and even how many who have died under the Clintons, is not a game. It is very real.
Read Licensed to Lie by Sidney Powell.
You got it. I just wish people would open their eyes to the fact that the United States is now run by KGB-like trained communists.
The DOJ will do nothing but I heard the FBI is doing it’s hardest to fight the DOJ.
There is a major problem with not having the DOJ being held accountable by a publicly elected Judicial branch. The balance of power with the DO (in)J under the executive branch makes it very UNbalanced.
“Its definitely a criminal probe, said the source. Im not sure why theyre not calling it a criminal probe.”
The DOJ [Department of Justice] and FBI can conduct civil investigations in very limited circumstances, but thats not what this is, the source stressed. In this case, a security violation would lead to criminal charges. Maybe DOJ is trying to protect her campaign.”

Duh, MAYBE???
It’s theater.
Please don’t make excuses for the quisling pos Gowdy. ALL he Can do is COVER UP THE ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES of the LEADERSHIP OF BOTH PARTIES.
He has the ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY TO IMPRISON EVERY WITNESS HIMSELF!
no person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.
Testifying Before CONGRESS is NOT A CRIMINAL CASE!!

and of course this is what the Radical Left thinks:
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2007/04/house_arrest.html
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR
No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

Lawyers! The major problem in this country and has been since Shakespeare’s time. Because of them Justice has just become a word and not a result. They and their ilk have so perverted our laws and kept justice out of the equation.
So the dance goes on while the charged hours accumulate.
