The Benghazi investigative committee on Tuesday formally requested former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton give a transcribed interview detailing her decision-making in determining which emails she turned over to the government and why she wiped her email server clean.
Chairman Trey Gowdy said Mrs. Clinton’s “unique arrangement with herself” — in which she claimed complete control of government business emails — needs to be explained, and nobody other than Mrs. Clinton can do that.
The interview would be behind closed doors, but would be part of the committee investigation’s record. A public hearing would follow eventually, once the select investigative committee has gathered all of the documents it believes it needs, said Mr. Gowdy, South Carolina Republican, in a letter to Mrs. Clinton’s lawyer.
“We continue to believe Secretary Clinton’s email arrangement with herself is highly unusual, if not unprecedented,” he said. “The decision to delete these records during the pendency of a congressional investigation only exacerbates our need to better understand what the secretary did, when she did it, and why she did it. ~snip~
Mr. Gowdy said the questions include why Mrs. Clinton refused a government-issued account and set up her own account and server; why she kept the emails herself rather than turning them over to the State Department when she left office in early 2013; and how she decided which of the 62,000 emails from her time in office she would delete, and which she would turn over.
The chairman also pointedly made clear that since the emails are under committee investigation, any action to destroy them would be illegal. He said that’s why Mrs. Clinton must turn her server over to a neutral third party — a request Mrs. Clinton’s team has rejected, saying she has already complied with the law.

If it were April 1st she wouldn’t have a change to mop up the last little bits of evidence and intimidate or off any witnesses now would she????
She needs that time to formulate a lie ...
...she needs time to dis-remember it all
And be a bit frugal with the truth ....
I don’t recall etc.
Make sure she is under oath this time!
LOL !

The pubbies will attempt to prove a negative. E-mails? What e-mails? At this stage what difference does it make?
If Hildebeest were found to have committed a felony witholding e-mails from govt. investigators - and I believe she has - who would prosecute her?
We are told that if the DOJ refuses to agree to the appointment of a special prosecutor (like the case of IRS abuse) then there is nothing to be done... i.e.: if an administration were corrupt - even criminal - and refused to be investigated - then there is nothing that can be done -- that the republic is finished!
Were our founding fathers that stupid? Are we that stupid? Like the Roman Senate, our Congress is becoming inconsequential in the face of an autocracy.

Boehner and McConnell have made Congress inconsequential .
I bet she’s terrified.
Exactly! ...and many others. They talk a big game but they do nothing!
Our republic is in serious danger. The citizenry must rise up en mass and demand Constitutional freedom. In Egypt recently over 30 million went into the streets to demand relief from an oppressive theocracy. I wonder if we could get 30 thousand in the streets in this country.
