You May Want to Sit Down for This… Trey Gowdy is Playing Politics

Call us crazy—this may be impossible to believe, given that the Benghazi Committee is the world’s most impartial, nonpartisan panel ever seated—but Trey Gowdy may be trying to deceive people into thinking Hillary Clinton isn’t the focus of his investigations. In fact, it’s perfectly clear from the record that Gowdy is playing politics with taxpayer funds for no other reason than to attack Hillary Clinton.

Trey Gowdy: “I never mentioned (Clinton’s) name during a committee hearing.” [USA Today, 10/1/15]

Chaser(s):

He sure spends a lot of time talking about Hillary Clinton, though…

Trey Gowdy: “If he is frustrated with the last two weeks, he needs to talk to Secretary Clinton.” [Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace, 3/15/15]
Trey Gowdy: “We were interviewing witnesses that have nothing to do with Secretary Clinton when this story broke.” [Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace, 3/15/15]
Trey Gowdy: “To the extent Democrats are frustrated, they should talk to Secretary Clinton, not me.” [Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace, 3/15/15]
Trey Gowdy: “I am sure that Carville and Lanny Davis and Podesta, and Democrats like Adam Schiff and others who have already signed on with Secretary Clinton, I’m sure that they are very, very frustrated.” [Mike Gallagher Show, 9/8/15]
Trey Gowdy: “The significance, John, is it undercuts the three main points that Secretary Clinton has made.” [CBS Face the Nation, 6/29/15].................LOTS more............

Since they are not releasing the transcripts of their meetings they need to be released in the Freedom of Information act. Probably will find out the liars.

Hillary Clinton agrees to testify before Benghazi panel in May
Deirdre Walsh Profile

By Deirdre Walsh, CNN Senior Congressional Producer

Updated 5:35 PM ET, Mon May 4, 2015

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton has agreed to testify before the House Select Committee on Benghazi later this month, according to a letter from her attorney to the panel's chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-South Carolina.

Gowdy asked Clinton, the former Secretary of State and now presidential candidate, testify before the committee twice -- once on her private email server and once on the 2012 attacks in Benghazi that killed four Americans.

But David Kendall, Clinton's lawyer, said Clinton would testify once on both topics, on a day designated by the committee during the week of May 18th or later.

........................
"On such day, she will stay as long as necessary to answer the committee's questions, but will not prolong the committee's efforts further by appearing on two separate occasions when one will suffice," Kendall wrote in a letter delivered on Monday.

Last month Gowdy sent a lengthy letter to Kendall outlining his request that Clinton come before the committee twice, and listed more than 100 questions he wanted to cover......................
