I'm so happy someone is giving Trey Gowdy a taste of his own medicine. There is a post on the Hillary page that alerted me to this, but it's good for general discussion, I think.
There seems to be a group called Correct the Record, and they're trying to defend Clinton against the ceaseless attacks by Gowdy and his Benghazi (excuse me... BENGHAZI!) "investigation." They're demanding Gowdy turn over all of his emails, which they believe will reveal a pattern of using his "investigation" to perform a political hatchet job on Clinton. They allege Gowdy lied when he said his "investigation" would not be used for political gain, and they claim releasing his emails will prove Gowdy coordinated with anti-Hillary organizations to conduct a smear campaign.
Well, I'm not sure the emails would reveal all that, but they would surely show Gowdy's "investigation" is a three ring circus comprised entirely of clowns. It was proven he and Darre Issa slow-walked the process and leaked information to make it look like they had something when they had nothing. If we saw the emails flying around, I'm sure we would see frequent communication with various right wing groups, and probably some specific stuff about how they planned to skew the "investigation" to make it look like they had ore than they actually did.

I imagine that would be his response?
However, it is a very good question. He is a former prosecutor and he got to see the evidence that was going to be used in his trials, I am sure?

(11,175 posts)I think you're completely right about his motives, etc. To coordinate those plans, though, he wouldn't really need emails. In addition, he of all people should also have been alive to the possibility that emails would be publicly disclosed.
My guess is that, unfortunately, the emails won't show much of anything that's useful.
Maybe I'm being too pessimistic. We can hope for him to have been as careless as some of Christie's minions were.

(39,909 posts)Th capital of Libya (and main embassy) is Tripoli, and is.....or rather WAS (before all our Freedom Bombs) a very progressive city.
Anybody who has traveled KNOWS that backwater embassies are fronts for the CIA>CIA "black ops".
I suspect the embassy in Benghazi was no different, especially when one starts listening to the testimony and the people giving the testimony.......CIA undercover.
The BLack FLag Al Qaeda run Tripoli, this seems eminently probable to me.
What happened in Benghazi was Blow Back, for CIA "missions" in East LIbya instead of a plan put together to hurt Hillary.
