Benghazi Select Committee Chair Trey Gowdy (R-SC) has basically admitted that he keeps the Democrats on his committee in the dark about the work and the motives of the committee.

While blasting fellow Republican Hanna, Gowdy said:

“There are seven members of the Benghazi Committee who are intimately familiar with the work of the committee, the motives behind the work, and the results of that work. Congressman Hanna is not one of them,” Gowdy's statement reads.

Yeah, and the Democrats on the committee are not "one of them" either. Gowdy has apparently forgotten that there are actually 12 members on the committee!

I listened to the Baltimore Police news conference this morning and was struck by their emphasis on the fact that they had recently discovered a stop made by the police van carrying Freddie Gray. The spokesperson repeated that they had just learned about this particular stop - from a private video source. The clear implication is that they did not hear about this stop from the police who were driving the van. The clear implication is that the police involved in Freddie's death lied about this fact. So, if they lied about this fact, what other facts have they lied about? And when will we find out?

Today Rush Limbaugh began his radio show by criticizing President Obama for going to the golf course immediately following his speech on ISIS and their execution of James Foley. Limbaugh claimed that the "drivebys" (by which he means the mainstream media) has come out with strong criticism of Obama's actions. He then pretends to prove his point by quoting from two "drivebys";

-Maureen Dowd, a NYTimes opinion columnist whose attacks on the president have become a media legend all their own
-Joe Scarborough, a Republican former-Congressman commentator on msnbc.

Limbaugh went on to call Obama "narcissistic" and therefore incapable of feeling human emotions. In January 2007, Limbaugh used the term "Halfrican American" to describe then-Senator Obama. In January 2008, Limbaugh described Obama as "robotic" and "not even human". How does this tie in to the current situation in Ferguson MO?

Why is there so little discussion in the media of the fact that Ferguson MO Police Chief Thomas Jackson has continued to withhold the actual incident report of the shooting of Michael Brown a week ago yesterday? Chief Jackson said that he released the robbery incident report because of a FOIA request, but how could there have been a FOIA request of a robbery that no one knew about until yesterday? As far as I can tell from media coverage, it was the incident report of the shooting that was requested. So if Chief Jackson is so concerned about complying with FOIA requests, why have we not seen the incident report of the shooting? When will we see that incident report? How long will the chief continue to be allowed to withhold that public record from the public?
