On right, some Benghazi panel members wanted to get tougher with Clinton

Two Republican members of the House Benghazi panel appear to have wanted to go further in criticizing the Obama administration over the attack.

Reps. Mike Pompeo (Kan.) and Jim Jordan (Ohio) released their own 48-page addendum to the GOP majority’s 800-page report released by the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Tuesday.

While the main report is critical of the Obama administration’s response to the terror attack, the addendum is more scathing of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in particular.

“Officials at the State Department, including Secretary Clinton, learned almost in real time that the attack in Benghazi was a terrorist attack,” the two wrote. “With the presidential election just 56 days away, rather than tell the American people the truth and increase the risk of losing an election, the administration told one story privately and a different story publicly.

This presser is a loser for the GOP in my opinion.

Gowdy is a liar and deceiver, not fit to represent the American people. Reminds me of Timothy McVeigh. LOSER!
