Democrats launch Benghazi website, ahead of hearing
The Washington Times ^ | September 16, 2014 | David Sherfinski

Ahead of the House Select Committee on Benghazi’s first public hearing Wednesday, Democrats on the committee say they’re launching an online clearinghouse to deal with questions already asked and answered and dispel falsehoods about the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack.

They say the website is intended to provide answers to questions that have consistently been raised surrounding the attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, such as why security was inadequate despite repeated requests and whether the Pentagon failed to deploy resources that could have saved lives on the night of the attack.

” ‘Benghazi on the Record’ does not answer every conceivable question, but it answers many of the primary questions people have about the attacks,” said Rep. Elijah Cummings, Maryland Democrat and the select committee’s ranking member.

They also called on Republicans to more clearly define the mission and scope of the committee, which the House voted to establish in May.

“We have looked at it, and we don’t know where this committee is going,” said Rep. Adam Smith, Washington Democrat.

A spokesman for committee chairman Trey Gowdy, South Carolina Republican, said Mr. Gowdy is willing to risk answering the same question twice rather than risk it not be answered at all and since all documents responsive to congressional inquiries have not been produced, not all questions have been “asked and answered.”

“Chairman Gowdy is leading a fair, fact-based and impartial investigation,” said committee spokesman Jamal Ware. “The Committee will consider all evidence, across all jurisdictions, and produce the final, definitive accounting on behalf of Congress of what happened before, during and after the terrorist attacks on our facilities in Benghazi.”

It supplies the narrative to the Dembots on social media.

Elijah Cummings is not smart enough to come up with this kind of propaganda ploy. It likely either came from the Hildabeast’s people or VJ.

Hildy is fighting for her life.

This is why she's already visiting Iowa...not so much to run for Pres but to distract from Benghazi.

Exactly. What a group of moronic automatons they are too.

They all fancy themselves clever while cut-and-pasting the same lame maddowesque excuses and links to Mother Jones or Paul Krugman articles.

Heres my question. How many years would a member serve in prison for going around his committee process and communicating directly with witnesses?

Pubbies should counter this propaganda site with a

TruthsandFactsonBenghazi site, along with

Questions About Benghazi that the Admin/Hitlery Refuse to Answer site.

An excellent question. Am anxious to hear what Trey Gowdy has to say on this.

One of those facts not in dispute is that the first White Feather President in history demonstrated his profound cowardice as he left dozens to die. He can never walk away from that.

“We have looked at it, and we know where this committee is NOT going, if we can help it.” said Rep. Adam Smith, Washington Democrat.

One can, without much effort, imagine the outcry if this
had been done by republicans.

Finally we’ll have the answers. LOL.

Why was more security now provided?

Why did the presideet disengage himself?

Why did the secretary of state make up a lie about the cause and nature of the attack?

Why did the president accept the lie and tell his representative to lie on all the national news shows?

Why were there no rescue attempts by the CIA or the Military authorized by anyone.

Why did the president continue lying for 13 days including to the world in his UN speech?

Why did the secretary and the president look into the eyes of the victims families and lie about the cause and nature of the attack and what they would do about it?

Why have so many witnesses been told not to say anything?

Why has it taken so long for the democrats to make the “truth” available?

What am I missing?

gee it would be terrible if this were hacked and brought down so we could bring down the scumbags who were responsible for the deaths of 4 Americans.
