Darrell Issa: House Oversight Committee to depose Pickering and Mullen over Benghazi

Twitchy Staff

Darrell Issa reports that the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which he chairs, will depose Ambassador Thomas Pickering and Admiral Mike Mullen over Benghazi....

[PoloSec]

I believe the taking of a deposition requires it to be under oath.

[Las Vegas Ron]

I wish the ‘stand down’ order would take precedence over the talking points

I want to know if the stand down order was given when the seal had the target painted.

[csmusaret]

We really need to hear from Gens Dempsey, Ham and Petraeus.

.

I thought that Pickering and Mullins had declined to appear before the committee when invited earlier.

Everyone has appointed tasks.

You want to disrupt that which is working not realizing that Issa is acting according to a plan developed by the Republicans led by the Speaker.

I think what will could out of the depositions is that
Either Cheryl Mills or Hitlary controlled who was interviewed and
did some editing of the report Before it was released-just like the talking points.

I think that is always done under oath....

[Cap Huff]

I understand that Pickering and Mullen had declined to appear, but then on Wednesday Pickering said that he wanted to testify, presumably to contradict the whistleblowers.

Now he will get his chance. I gather under oath.

[Travis McGee]

Don't let this lying buffoon off the hook.

[Las Vegas Ron]

The usurper will never take the hit. Some low level azz kisser will take it.

I don't see how...since bammie is the only one who could authorize an attack he is guilty either by refusing to do so or incapable of making the decision.

Either way, he didn't act, it's on his skinny little incompetent azz.

[Joe Boucher]

what, and fire Boehner?

Damn that sounds good

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I would like to see him as a Senator...he would be a HUGE step from what we currently have!

Don’t forget the admiral in the gulf (at the time) that was relieved of command.

[bigbob]

not so fast...he’s been a paper tiger over everything thus far, I’d like to smell burning leather before believing he’s really going to hold feet to the fire.

[upchuck]

We really need to hear from Gens Dempsey, Ham and Petraeus.

All in good time, I suspect. It looks like Mr. Issa is being very deliberate as to the order of witnesses. Me thinks he's building a case :)

[Roccus]

That’s what I thought. It’s not as if the committee DIDN’T want them to appear, it was Pickering and Mullen themselves who couldn’t be bothered......until they heard the testimony.

[upchuck]

Great pic. The ingloriousness of that uniform make him look like a circus clown.

[smoothsailing]

Yes, it’s a deposition.

[Uncle Chip]

So was Hillary’s but she was not sworn in —
