Democrats on the House Committee on Benghazi are calling on the panel’s Republican chairman to withdraw subpoenas sent to the State Department for Hillary Clinton’s personal emails.
In a letter sent to Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Friday, the five Democrats on the panel criticized Gowdy for issuing the formal request for documents from Clinton’s term as secretary of state without consulting with Democrats and accused the committee of operating as a campaign arm of the Republican National Committee.
“Issuing this subpoena unilaterally with no deliberation by committee members, leaking information about the subpoena before informing Democratic Members, and providing inaccurate information at a press conference all contribute to a perception that this Committee is now targeting Secretary Clinton for political reasons rather than to clarify any remaining facts relating to the attacks in Benghazi,” the Democrats, led by Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), wrote.
The Democrats added, “We urge you to withdraw the ill-considered subpoena — whose issuance to a cooperating witness served only to highlight the increasingly partisan nature of the Committee’s focus — and to immediately publish the Secretary’s emails in their entirety, as she has requested.”

Seize all the computers there, not just the ones she says have files from state and not just the ones she says are hers. She gave up any presumption of privacy with this behavior. She has a long history of hiding evidence and the other official resident of her home has been disbarred and found in contempt of court for similar behavior. He’s 14+ years from being able to claim presidential privilege, or rights to view secret files, over any files there. May well need to do the same for computers of some close associates as well. Would love to do the same for their Foundation and the LieBury.
I couldn’t agree more! If it were not a dem, and specifically a Clinton, that would already have been done!
