Select Committee To Investigate Benghazi Attack Formed

BENGHAZI INVESTIGATION

Speaker Boeher has finally tired of being punked by the Obama regime. In an effort to remind them his correct title is “Speaker” and not “bitch,” Boehner has announced the formation of a select committee to investigate the Benghazi fiasco and the subsequent cover-up and multiple perjuries by senior Obama officials.

“Americans learned this week that the Obama Administration is so intent on obstructing the truth about Benghazi that it is even willing to defy subpoenas issued by the standing committees of the People’s House. These revelations compel the House to take every possible action to ensure the American people have the truth about the terrorist attack on our consulate that killed four of our countrymen. In light of these new developments, the House will vote to establish a new select committee to investigate the attack, provide the necessary accountability, and ensure justice is finally served.

“The administration’s withholding of documents – emails showing greater White House involvement in misleading the American people – is a flagrant violation of trust and undermines the basic principles of oversight upon which our system of government is built. And it forces us to ask the question, what else about Benghazi is the Obama administration still hiding from the American people?

“The House committees that have been investigating this attack have done extraordinary work, using their subpoena power, holding dozens of hearings, and conducting hundreds of interviews. Without this work we would not know much that we do today. But it’s clear that questions remain, and the administration still does not respect the authority of Congress to provide proper oversight. This dismissiveness and evasion requires us to elevate the investigation to a new level. I intend for this select committee to have robust authority, and I will expect it to work quickly to get answers for the American people and the families of the victims.

“Four Americans died at the hands of terrorists nearly 20 months ago, and we are still missing answers, accountability, and justice. It’s time that change.”

Trey Gowdy is said to be designated the chairman. Gowdy is a great choice to lead the committee. He’s a strong conservative and he’s an authority on all the versions of the Benghazi story uttered by the Obama regime over the past two years.
