I’m sorry, but didn’t we know from the beginning the limits of a congressional investigative committee. Before Gowdy became a heart throb he was laying out both the purpose and the limitations of a special committee.
He said on numerous televised occasions that it would take enforcement by the Justice Department to act on any committee demands for retrieving evidence. Unless the entire body of the House of Representatives voted to retrieve the server, the Committee was left with no enforcement mechanism.
If that is all BS, then there should be precedent for proving Gowdy wrong. He is pretty smart though, so I imagine he knows what he’s talking about.
Besides, his committee is charged to investigate Benghazi and is interested in that server only so far as it maybe contained email info related to Benghazi. The keyword is “maybe”.
Especially on FR, Gowdy is a victim of his cheerleaders. He is a crafty prosecutor, we were told, building a case step by step with aces up his sleeve. The romance of a dragon-layer was easy to fall into. In fact, he had limited committee powers and the Dems on the committee made sure no one would be surprised.
Gowdy wants to play ball with Boehner instead of going public with alarm and pointing out the case needs an actual prosecutor.
Too late now. Hillary’s running so any real investigation will look like a mere political stunt.
Really appreciate the clarification and info, Rita!
