http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/benghazi-committee-witness_us_5723a578e4b0b49df6ab3c70snip
One example of the committees problematic requests is John from Iowa.
John from Iowa called into the radio show of conservative host Sean Hannity in May 2013. He claimed he was a drone camera operator who saw what happened in Benghazi on the night of the attacks. He also complained that neither Congress nor the administration had interviewed him.
Hedger said the Defense Department expended significant resources to locate anyone who might match the description of this person, to no avail. But then committee staff expanded their request for officials to find all drone pilots and sensor operators who operated in the region that night a search Hedger called time-intensive, to say the least.
To find this "drone pilot" they would have to send FBI agents into every basement in the U.S. where dwells the fervent Rethug radio listeners who are frantically redialing their Reich Wing heros with Cheetos dust encrusted fingertips.

Every viciously hostile HillHater's vote counts -- gotta keep the flames stoked so they get off their demoralized butts and vote.

If they actually find someone to come forward .... GOP interviewers will call him a brave American patriot. And then when anyone without a GOP affiliation interviews him they will poke multiple holes in his story in the first fifteen minutes of questioning.
