In the year since the Benghazi terrorist attack took the lives of four Americans, House Republicans have continually pressed the Obama administration for answers regarding events preceding the attack, the administration’s response, and what has been done to protect the lives of Americans going forward. Those efforts will continue with three House committee hearings this week. Here’s more:
The House Foreign Affairs Committee holds a hearing Wednesday, September 18th at 10 am ET titled: “Benghazi: Where is the State Department Accountability?” The committee notes that four employees placed on administration leave following the attack have recently been re-assigned within the department. This hearing “will examine why no one inside the State Department has yet been held accountable for the failures and deficiencies identified” in the Benghazi Accountability Review Board’s report. [TUNE IN HERE ] The House Oversight & Government Reform Committee holds a hearing Thursday, September 19th at 9:30 am ET with Benghazi Accountability Review Board co-chairs Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering and Admiral Michael G. Mullen, USN (Ret.), members of the Department’s security panel that conducted a review, and family members of those killed in the attack. The hearing will focus on the review board’s investigation and questions that still remain regarding the attack and the administration’s response. [TUNE IN HERE] The House Armed Services Committee will hold a hearing Thursday, September 19th at 3:30 pm ET on lessons from Benghazi and the Defense Department’s ability to respond to similar attacks today.

Earlier this year, House Republicans released an interim report on Benghazi outlining the findings of five committees of jurisdiction investigating the attacks, and laying out next steps – including additional hearings and an ongoing effort to obtain access to witnesses and information being withheld by the Obama administration. “It is disgraceful that one year later, even though a number of the terrorists who participated in this attack have been identified, not a single one has been brought to justice, Speaker Boehner said last week, pledging that Republicans “will press forward with our investigation until we have answers, full accountability, and justice.”
It just takes one to stand up to the bullying successfully then the cards fall. Praying for a David with a sling shot!

No one on the Repub. side seems to be OUTRAGED - This is all just nicie - nicie questioning! Just Damn!
This hearing seems unfocussed. I thought it was to investigate the process of the ARB and by extension expose Hillary’s machinations. I am not hearing a focus on that.
Another reason he won’t approve keystone is his personal fortune here:

Thanks for the ping - AND you’re in my prayers Mesta... may God watch over you and keep you safe.
Write and email your rep! Here’s what I sent!
Sir, I am writing this message to you in our concern of continued unanswered questions and stonewalling of this Benghazi investigation.
We have already lost faith in this administration and are at the conclusion, that no one in Washington will get answers. My trust in both the House and Senate is almost zero! Nothing gets done, Obama continues to campaign, no budget, continued crisis, NSA, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, Obama’s racial taunt and divide of this country, no accountability and “Business as usual”. Benghazi must be told and full accountability is expected! Continued inaction will only result in a demise of both parties! You have been elected to represent the people! We are still waiting for our voices to be heard!
So now terrorist attacks are "perceived imperfections."
Looking forward to hearing Jeff Duncan and Stockman

A Kennedy who appears to be sober!
Of course, he wants to go back to the attacks that occurred under Reagan.
Good job. I actually prefer to use the phone.
Denials and lies by Patrick Kennedy as well as slimy spin.
