Good morning, campers – It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Can you say “Benghazi”?
Sure – I knew that you could.
Trey Gowdy: Benghazi report will be out before conventions
Trey Gowdy: Benghazi report will be out before conventions
MSNBC ^ | 20 May 2016 | Matthew KitchenPosted on 5/20/2016 6:54:45 PM by mandaladon
It’s been nearly four years since a September 11, 2012, raid on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, left four U.S. citizens dead, including an ambassador, and more than two years since the House of Representatives formed a special committee to investigate the attack. The House’s report on the events is coming soon – very soon.
It just might not be the whole report.
In an interview with Chuck Todd on “MTP Daily” Friday, committee chair Rep. Trey Gowdy, a Republican from South Carolina, said he plans to release the much sought-after draft in June.
“We’re going to get the report out – it will be in the next month,” Gowdy said, “and then I’ll let the reader know: This is what we’re missing, these are the agencies that haven’t produced it to us, and if witnesses come forward after the publication of our report, I’ll let the readers know that.”
Gowdy admitted that for “personal and professional reasons,” he would have rather the report come out last summer, but said he agreed with Todd that the committee owes it to voters to release it before the Republican and Democratic national conventions this summer, when the parties will meet to declare presidential tickets and shore up current and future agendas.
The delay, Gowdy said, was due to his committee’s lack of access to necessary documents and witnesses relevant to the investigation.
Democrats instead see the delay as a strategic maneuver to discredit Hillary Clinton, secretary of state at the time of the attacks, who is seen by Republicans “as the official who should ultimately be held responsible for the failures in Benghazi,” according to the Washington Post. Clinton was considered the strongest contender for the presidential nomination when the committee was originally formed in 2014
**********
Gowdy said Friday the committee’s report will focus on three questions: “Why were we there, and whether or not the facility was sufficiently secure. What happened during the pendency of the attacks? And whether or not the American people were leveled with in the aftermath.”……………..Time for Hillary to come clean…
To: mandaladonGowdy is making a claim here. I hope he can deliver. I’m not optimistic in his regard.

To: mandaladonTrey Goudy has proven to be one of my biggest disappointments. At first thought he might be the real thing but he turned out to be like the Wizard of Oz, just a big show. Imagine, with his skills, if he had real intent to get to the goods on Hillary. Sigh. Nothing will come of this.

“I have a little announcement to make … I’m voting for Hillary. I am endorsing Hillary,” noted conservative author P.J. O’Rourke said on NPR’s Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me. The episode aired over the weekend.
*************
Well, so much for O’Rourke being a conservative…

O’Rourke: I mean, this man just can’t be president of the US. I mean, they got this button, it’s in a briefcase, he’s gonna find it.
Peter Sagal: They can’t hide it. It’ll be like a teenager with your booze.
To: InnovativeSo, let me get this straight. These jacka$$e$ are willing to vote for a bitch that allowed a U.S. Ambassador, a State Department Staffer, and two former Navy SEALS to die, then lie about it, jail some schmuck for making some video over Allah, delete at minimum 30,000 emails while under subpoena, install a private server, use said private server for Secretary of State business, funnel business to the Clinton Foundation while Secretary of State, etc? Eff them. They are wrong and destroying this country.

Beck was always a bit nuts, but he DID expose Soros and Agenda 21 way before anyone else I ever heard it from.
But Mark Levin acts like Trump is the antichrist?
and now PJ???? These are guys I seriously trust(ed)
Granted, its a left-handed compliment at best:
“I am endorsing Hillary, and all her lies and all her empty promises,” O’Rourke continued. “It’s the second-worst thing that can happen to this country, but she’s way behind in second place. She’s wrong about absolutely everything, but she’s wrong within normal parameters.”
But seriously- Trump is a lot of things, but is he worse than HilLIARy???????

Man, we’re going to need a big ass database to keep track of them all, before this is all over.
“The delay, Gowdy said, was due to his committee’s lack of access to necessary documents and witnesses relevant to the investigation.”
You know, the documents and witnesses that say the stuff the GOP wankers want to hear. It’s gotten SO much harder to get those docs, ever since the Weekly World News stopped printing.
