The chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi says Hillary Clinton’s testimony will be delayed until the panel gets all relevant documents from the State Department.
“Simply put, the Committee must have the records of communication requested more than six months ago before the secretary’s appearance can be scheduled,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) wrote Thursday in a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry.
Gowdy's decision throws cold water on the idea that Clinton, a 2016 contender, could appear before the panel next week, as her attorney offered.
In a May 4 letter to Gowdy, Clinton's attorney said the 2016 presidential contender was willing to appear before the committee – but only once. The letter said she could testify the week of May 18, a date previously requested by Gowdy.
“Secretary Clinton is insistent she will appear once and only once before the select committee,” Gowdy said in a separate statement Thursday. “The committee must be equally insistent that her appearance is thorough and fully productive.”
That “requires the record to be complete so the members can effectively base their questions on documents,” he added.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Highly disappointing.
This is bullshit. If Congress wanted this stuff, they would get it or they would cut all funding to the SD. Lying bunch of sodomites, I am sick and tired of both parties, all they care about is money, power and acting like heroes.
Congress is scum!
No, he just wants enough to hang her before hand,
more mines in the field, so to speak.
I haven’t given up on him yet.
These aren’t part time grifters he’s up against
but consummate professionals.
Justice delayed is Justice denied.
At the rate things are going, it could be 2025 before those documents ever make it out of State over to the Congressional committee.
In that period of time, a LOT of mischief could have been administered.
Gowdy isn’t going to let Hillary control his committee.
Highly disappointing.
***********
But not unexpected. Don’t get your hopes up.
Agree. She’s adroitly playing the delay game.
Republicans are just confused and easily bamboozled, as usual.
Screw what she’s “agreed to”. Slap a subpoena on her backside and tell her attorney she will appear as many times as she’s called.
L
Ha, Ha, Ha. Did we expect anything else than more delays. WTF, normal for Congress on anything these sick children do.
Like Issa, Like Gowdy,
Congress again folds
for every Enemy of the Constitution.
Every single one.
I so hoped to witness Hillarytake the 5th.
Alleluia.
You got it!
Republicans are pathetically weak; they are afraid of the Democrats and terrified of the media. They are not doing what we sent them there to do. Hillary has little to fear from them in my opinion.
Most of us figured this out 6 months AFTER 4 Brave Americans were left to DIE, cause of a utube Video!.
It’s all Kabuki Theatre at this point!
Keep settin yourself up for disappointment (some) of my fellow Freepers, it only leads to more AGONY!
... so she could sit up there, wring her hands and say (once again), “ What difference does it make?” while the Press & half the electorate chears her on.
