The first reaction of House Republicans after a GOP whistleblower confirmed that their Benghazi investigation was a sham was to attack the whistleblower and the network that interviewed him. CNN has pushed back and called out Committee Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) for lying.

Gowdy threw a fit ....................

Rep. Gowdy said in a statement, “Had CNN contacted the Committee regarding its interview with this staffer before it rushed to air his sensationalistic and fabulist claims, it could have fully questioned him about his unsubstantiated claims. But that is the difference between journalism as practiced by CNN, and the fact-centric investigation being conducted by this Committee.”

A CNN spokesperson made it clear that Gowdy was not being honest, “We categorically deny Benghazi Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy’s statement about CNN. We reached out to the committee for a response prior to publishing or broadcasting, which the committee provided. That response was included in our reporting. In addition, Chairman Gowdy was invited to discuss this on CNN and declined. Chairman Gowdy is wrong.”.................

This is what you get when you lie down with the dogs, Jeff Zucker, there is more honour among dogs and thieves than the GOP.

Now will you please stop giving Trump millions in free advertising!? Isn't there some new plane wreckage or a cruise ship toilet issue you could follow incessantly for at least a couple of days instead?

"Chairman Gowdy is 'wrong'"?

Say it, someone in the cowardly media say the "L" word! It is OK, it is still allowed.

They can do the same to any of ours. I am not a supermodel either!

Maybe it is just me. But I am tired of his actions and his lies. Our common enemy is the Republican Party.

I am not a fan of Hillary, in fact I hugely support Senator Bernie Sanders. But this was waaay out of line, pure Republican hate! There never was a legitimate reason for the second through the ninth investigation of this incident. This was the Republican vehicle to just go after Hillary.

It is bittersweet to me as I am glad the dumb-ass screwed up and told the truth. However, I know she will get a bump from this, especially in the debate tonight as I am sure she will bring it up, even if CNN doesn't, but I know CNN will, just for the sheer ratings.
