WASHINGTON (AP) The photo that became an Internet meme Hillary Rodham Clinton, wearing sunglasses, staring at her BlackBerry troubles Republicans on the House committee investigating the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya, for what they say is an incomprehensible omission.
Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., wants to know why the panel has no emails from Oct. 18, 2011, the day the photo was taken as Clinton, then the secretary of state, was en route to Tripoli. In fact, the committee says it has no emails at all from Clinton's trip to Libya, which occurred just days before longtime Libyan ruler Moammar Gadhafi was killed.
Eleven months later, in September 2012, terrorist attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Gowdy said in an interview that it "strains credulity" to believe that while on a trip to Libya to discuss Libyan policy "there's not a single document that has been turned over to Congress."
The recent disclosure that Clinton, a likely Democratic candidate for president in 2016, relied on personal emails to conduct government business has breathed new life into the Benghazi panel's investigation, which had threatened to stall amid accusations of partisanship on both sides.

(25,290 posts)Really - what are they hoping to find - that Hillary called for the strike that killed these diplomats?
Is it just that they'll take any shred of anything - just to further damage her chances of winning in 2016. Is this all about bringing her poll numbers down?

(118,865 posts)they already did that to Obama at one of his first Congressional Black Caucus Weekends. He was hounded by beautiful black women that weekend and went home in tears he was so disgusted. No doubt the GOP paid out a shitload of money to call girls that night. My point is when does it end (I mean start) (I mean end)?

(118,865 posts)to Hillary' emails. And surprise surprise they want emails going further back. They'll take any mild to non existent Hillary Clinton slip up. Even a perceived one will do. Remember Ken Starr started out with a unlucrative real estate deal when he went after Bill Clinton and kept at it for years.

(65,616 posts)missions. Probably the type in which HRC would be going somewhere dangerous. I guess I am right and Congress is a collective group of chickenshits. The CIA now just uses them as a recording device.
These problems are too hard, because evidently everyone uses 30 years old technology. I'm already cringing at the thought of how long Foxnews will get to milk this shit. They are the laziest people on the planet, next to congressional republicans.
