BREAKING: Gowdy Releases Report Proving Dem Insiders Obstructed Benghazi Investigation [6-6-16]

BREAKING: Gowdy Releases Report Proving Dem Insiders Obstructed Benghazi Investigation

From the very moment of its inception, Democrat members of the House Benghazi Select Committee have worked to sabotage, subvert and otherwise obstruct the committee’s efforts to discover the truth of what happened that fateful night of Sept. 11, 2012, in Libya.

Now that the committee’s work is drawing near a close after two years, with chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., promising to release a final report soon, the Democrat members are demanding a bigger role in the drafting of the report.

But Gowdy, though “mildly amused” at this latest bid by the Democrats, is not surprised that they would make one last gasp at upending his report. He let them know how he felt in a scathing letter sent this weekend to the top committee Democrat, Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings. According to The Hill, the seven-page, 1,800-plus word letter laid bare the numerous documented incidents of the Democrat members’ obstruction of the committee’s investigation, led by the “serial leaker” Cummings himself.

Gowdy, who tenacious style of investigating and interviewing witnesses has earned him the nickname “The Bulldog,” wrote that the Democrats “have spent far more time writing letters, selectively leaking material, and spreading mischaracterizations than you have actually participating in this investigation.”

Nevertheless, “Despite your efforts to undermine and obstruct our fact-centered work, rest assured all members of the committee will have the opportunity to review the report and offer changes in a manner consistent with the rules of the House,” Gowdy promised.

The report and accompanying evidence and transcripts would be released shortly after that, at which point the American people would be able to make up their own minds about exactly what happened in Benghazi.

“This investigation has uncovered new information that will change how the public views what happened before, during, and after the attacks in Benghazi,” Gowdy wrote. “Despite your best efforts to prevent it from happening, actually talking to eyewitnesses and actually accessing relevant documents has produced new information… It took longer than I wanted, but we are finally going to be able to answer questions left unanswered by previous investigations.”

You can read the entire letter right here.

All drama. Should had called Cummings on all this when it happened. I sincerely doubt Gowdy will finalize a report before the Election. Two years just to get to this point. Nothing is happening and now he is going to let the RATS review and edit. That should only take another two years.

GREAT READ, Syncro! ALL seven pages!!

Trey is a wordsmith par excellence, with teeth that won’t let go.

Anybody with a brain knows there was a plethora of reasons this committee could not function or deliver the goods with the speed of a fast food drive through for the impatient kiddies.

Half of that Committee were Democrats engaged in full time smears of Trey Gowdy, in mortal combat against the very existence of the committee, in hiding witnesses, delaying interviews and discovery, killing evidence, and leaking what evidence they could not kill.

Against the Committee in general and Gowdy in particular, was the White House spin machine, the STATE DEPARTMENT, the entire US Military Command, the Pentagon, the Defense Department, and the Leftist media. Throw in a few other foreign and domestic enemies making salad with their own obfuscation and lies.

I’d like to see these geniuses, herein, who have been whining for months, nursing their need for instant gratification, go park there know-it-all in Gowdy’s shoes, coming up against institutional forces like that, for just ten minutes!

Gowdy and his Committee allies were caught in a tactical Pincer movement, facing enemies of the State, and shackled!

What Gowdy produces, in the end, may or may not be all of the story. History will bleed out the truths this report may not contain, but, Gowdy is the ONLY man for this job and has staked his congressional career on it. It will not be a boring read when released, and released against all odds, by a man who agreed to serve as a public piñata to get to the truth as best he could.

Good on you, big guy, for getting this letter on the dang board, here.

THE TIMING OF THE COMMITTE REPORT WILL BE RIGHT ON THE MARK.

Who among us couldn’t conjugate, all along anyway, that NAILING Hillary at this time, in her general election bid for the presidency, was always going to be the PERFECT time to STRIKE.

I don’t get all the belly aching, myself. Thanks Syncro.
You’ve had to field a lot of cheap crap here today.

Saudi Arabia Has Funded 20% Of Hillary’s Presidential Campaign, Saudi Crown Prince Claims
ZeroHedge ^ | June 13, 2016
Posted on 6/13/2016, 12:28:36 PM by Zakeet

In what may be the pinnacle of hypocrisy, moments ago Hillary Clinton, while speaking live on national security and addressing the Orlando shooting took some time from her constant bashing of the Second Amendment and calling for a ban on assault rifles, to say some less than kind words about Saudi Arabia whom it accused of supporting radical organizations. This is what she said:

The third area that demands attention is preventing radicalization and countering efforts by ISIS and other international terrorist networks to recruit in the United States and Europe. For starters, it is long past time for the Saudis, the Qataris and the Kuwaitis and others to stop their citizens from funding extremist organizations. And they should stop supporting radical schools and mosques around the world that have set too many young people on a path towards extremism. We also have to use all our capabilities to counter jihadist propaganda online. This is something that I spend a lot of time on at the State Department.
There is nothing wrong with that statement, as it is the whole truth - Saudi Arabia’s involvement in supporting terrorism stretches from Sept 11 all the way through to ISIS - however, where there is a big, and potentially law-breaking, problem is what Jordan’s official news agency, Petra News Agency, reported on Sunday citing the Saudi crown price, namely that Saudi Arabia is a major funder of Hillary Clinton’s campaign to become the next president of the United States.

As MEE notes, the Petra News Agency published on Sunday what it described as exclusive comments from Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman which included a claim that Riyadh has provided 20 percent of the total funding to the prospective Democratic candidate’s campaign.

[Snip]

As a reminder, It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to try to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped the Saudis, however.

[Snip]

According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million.

Wow .. that was waaaaaaay too nice about Cummings.

The guy’s just a rampant liberal who is probably on Hillary’s payroll; he certainly is willing to carry her water .. and that makes me wonder what kind of dirt she has on him.

Yes, the call for the “civility” of the House is never the job of the DemocRATS.

I’m suspecting there was a lot of pressure on Gowdy not to make a fuss about the garbage Cummings was doing.

I’m glad Trey stuck it out and exposed these phonies.

Trey was right; the Committee had one purpose .. to hide Hillary’s involvement (or non-involvement)..

They all try to appease their King and Queen, Hillary and Obama.

Hillary has a lot of dirt on a lot of people, remember the 900 FBI files from the 90's that she stole and used to blackmail the GOP so they wouldn't go too far in their fight against her husbands policies when he was president.

No telling what else she now has from her high level access she had as Sect of State. (probably one of the main reasons she too the job.)

Not completely, but for sure for the dems and some of the eGOP'ers.

Straw man question my friend.

Read the post to which you replied more carefully.

All of us here at FR know that Hillary/Obama were responsible for the deaths of the Benghazi four heroes.

They have over l00 counts against the wife of the Orlando Islamic Terrorist and many of them would apply to Obama and Hillary also.
