Benghazi Committee Delivers EPIC SLAM to Obama Administration’s Stonewalling
Julian Hattem – The Hill Reports
Lawmakers on the House Select Committee on Benghazi are protesting the State Department’s “stonewalling” as they seek to finalize a long-awaited report about the 2012 terrorist attacks.
Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Monday accused the Obama administration of purposefully deceiving his panel.
“Whatever the administration is hiding, its justifications for doing so are imaginary and appear to be invented for the sake of convenience,” Gowdy said in a statement. “That’s not how complying with a congressional subpoena works, and it’s well past time the department stops stonewalling.”
The committee has for more than a year sought to obtain a handful of records from the department but has so far come up empty. Among the documents it is trying to obtain are emails from senior aides to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as some of Clinton’s emails and additional records from an Accountability Review Board analysis of the Benghazi attacks.
In addition, Politico reported on Sunday that the White House has rebuffed the committee’s efforts to answer questions about President Obama’s activities the night of the Sept 11, 2012, assault.

I held the opinion that Chairman Trey Gowdy could have pushed for the production of documents by the State Department and White House just as it was is the Nixon Case. Turn the request from a request to a Congressional Order and when refused have the Court issue a warrant taking it up the scale of Courts to the Supreme Court. At the end of the day the requested ‘evidence’ will be turned over’. Everything Mrs Clinton has stated about lost emails, process, granted exception, security, Aides covering and then not cooperating with Congress, had she another name then Clinton she’d be sitting in the slammer. All due respect to the Chairman but he was too much of a gentlemen for a role demanding a piranha viciously tearing away flesh from anyone obstructing.
