“Gowdy’s ball is where he wants it. It’s just that you aren’t going to see it until closer to 2016 election day, or afterward.”

Are you for real? The revelation of the truth, and the administration of justice, are not ends in and of themselves? They must be agenda-driven, tied to some arbitrary (read: self-serving) political time table?
Just to give some context to how this “investigation” has been pursued —
Watergate break-in...June 17, 1972
Nixon resignation.....August 9, 1974
Time elapsed..............Two years, two months
Result.......................President resigned
Benghazi attack.......September 11, 2012
Today’s date..............June 17, 2015
Time elapsed.............Two years, nine months
Result.......................Squat
That comparison of timelines is deeply flawed. The Watergate break-in happened in Washington, D.C., and was a badly botched criminal act, easily caught and investigated by local police. Benghazi took place in a foreign, third world country in meltdown after Ghaddafi was deposed and killed. We had very little support for investigating the event and, because all the key personnel were state department or defense employees, could only investigate them through Congress for events on foreign soil.
Also, nothing got done under Issa and Gowdy’s committee was only created in May, 2014. Gowdy has only been at it for 12 months.
The Republicans in 1973-74 were nothing like the Democrats of 2012-15. They acted with a modicum of integrity and loyalty to the Constitution. Today’s Dems wipe their butts with the Constitution and act only in the interest of power.
The media, already overwhelmingly liberal, hated Nixon with a purple passion and hyped the story EVERY SINGLE DAY as the greatest threat to the Constitution since the founding. Today’s media, more liberal than ever, buries the story and closes ranks around Hussein and Hitlary.
The day of the Special Prosecutor was in form. Therefore the tools of the Justice Department were made available, boots on the ground, so to speak, to cease stuff and make messes and kick doors down.
Gowdy has nothing. No Special Prosecutor and the Justice Department will not budge on behalf of this investigation.
