| Trey Gowdy probe claims '€˜big wins' in getting Benghazi info |
| 2016-02-19 |
| [Wash Times] Rep. Trey Gowdy said Thursday that the congressional probe into the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack made "significant breakthroughs" this month in getting access to key figures involved in writing the talking points that misled the country into erroneously blaming a video. Mr. Gowdy, chairman of the investigation, said the White House, after long negotiations, made both then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and top White House official Ben Rhodes available for questioning. The House Select Committee on Benghazi is the first congressional probe to interview Mr. Rhodes, who was involved in crafting the message, and Ms. Rice, who delivered the erroneous talking points to the nation in a round of Sunday political talk show interviews shortly after the attack. Top defense and intelligence officials said they knew at the time that the attack, on the night of Sept. 11, 2012, was a terrorist assault -- but Ms. Rice instead said it was mob violence incited by an Internet video mocking Islam. |

| #11 Someone might have the flop sweats over being connected to the Benghazi debacle as well as involved in the e-mail secrets insanity. The B Team? P Kennedy? Rice? Carlos Dangers wife? |

| #10 Trey Gowdy probe claims 'big wins'... A bit premature for such claims, unless someone or a group of someone's has been secretly convicted of treason and sentenced to hang. |

| #8 The only facts this nation ever needed, Gowdy. These two Navy Seals abandoned by Obama and Hillary for 7 hours held of an Al Qaeda force of 125 to 150 and fought to their last breath to save the lives of many others. |

| #6 People should have gone to jail long ago for failure to comply with demands for emails and other evidence. Start putting enough people in prison and Hillary would have felt the heat and folks would have started turning things over on demand. Instead they made a monkey-court out of it so they can just claim partisan witch-hunt that has gone on for too long and play the martyr (assuming she doesn't actually go to prison). |

| #4 they can reasonably plead 'I don't remember' now that it is 3+ years after the fact getting the email and phone conversation transcripts is the only way to actually find out the truth |
