House Benghazi Czar Trey Gowdy (R-SC)
A
new Clinton campaign video accurately labels the House Benghazi Committee a "political charade." As it begins, onscreen text points out that:
After 7 prior congressional investigations ...
32 hearings ...
2780 questions asked in those hearings ...
and 40,000 pages of documents turned over ...
The Benghazi Select Committee is spending $8,000 a day in taxpayer money to keep digging.
The video
relies heavily on Fox News reports on the Benghazi committee's work:
The Fox News anchors point out that the committee’s report will be delayed until the election year of 2016 and ask committee chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) why questions to former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal about Clinton's 2008 campaign were “relevant.”
When asked whether he knows more about the attacks now after hearing from Blumenthal, Gowdy says on Fox News that “No, but I never expected Sidney Blumenthal to be able to tell me that anyway.”
What did Gowdy expect Blumenthal to be able to tell him? Good question, but since he's refusing to release a transcript of the interview, we don't know in full. Which takes us full circle to the "political charade" business.
Video below the fold.
