Related: About this forumTrey Gowdy Finally Admits The Truth About Benghazi
It's all about damaging Clinton's reputation.
In an interview with Bill Hemmer on Fox 'News', Trey Gowdy finally admitted the truth about Benghazi and his bogus committee. This comes on the heels of the Kangaroo Court's Benghazi Committee's lead investigator quitting and admitting that everything that could be done, was done.
One of the primary conspiracy theories swirling around the Benghazi Inquisition has been the notion of a "stand down order," and whether one was issued. The reason they've made this a central point in their witchhunt is to say that the military was ordered to stand down instead of responding.
Snip.......
Gowdy told Hemmer, "Whether or not they could have gotten there in time, they couldn't. I don't think there's any question about that."
Say WHAT? This was supposedly the foundation of the whole "stand-down order" myth! That the military could have gotten there in time to save the day had the evil Secretary Clinton and President Obama called them up into action instead of ordering them to stand down.
Gowdy is now spinning away from that by asking, "Why could you not? Why were you not positioned to do it?"
Nice goalpost move, there, bro, but you just shattered one of the reasons your Inquisition exists. Good going, pal.

(2,495 posts)it was a tragedy, but not of Hillary's making.
meanwhile bush still has taken no accountability for his failure to stop 911 attacks

(7,410 posts)Someone on the Underground who embraces Benghazi would have to be informationally delusional or a paid troll. That's kind of bizarre. Could you put a number to it? More than five?
I don't follow the subcurrents all day, and sometimes miss stuff. I'd appreciate a heads-up.
I see the Hillary-hatred, blah blah, heard it all before, but Benghazi? OMG. Do they also believe she murdered Vice Foster over a drug deal gone bad?
Woo, we live in silly times if DU is a Benghazi-peddler.

(1,325 posts)I am a Bernie supporter. That said, I'll vote for Hillary simply for the Supreme Court nominations coming up. Seen the list of ass-hats tRump is proffering? And I am not pleased at all with President Obama playing compromise with this friend of Robert's and like minded douche-bag Garland. Don't give a shit how nice folks say he is, only care about his positions on issues and his record. Shame on the Democrats who back this turd.
Where were the Democrats when Hillary was being blasted by Fox Noise and the Tea-turds in Congress? They should have gone with a full court press and blasted every newspaper, TV station, and Repuke who put out the BS about Benghazi. What a bunch of bullshit. One of the reasons why the right keeps doing this over and over is that the wimps in the Democratic party are loathe to fight back. I don't agree with Hillary on a number of issues, but the Benghazi, Vince Foster, e-mail server phony scandals should never been allowed to grow legs. But how many Democrats stepped up to call the people spreading these lies liars? Why can Fox Noise run with these crappy stories for months and months on end? And why is T. Gowdy not being ridiculed by his Democratic colleagues? Because our side is infused with all-too-polite cowards who act like reason and facts will squelch vitriolic emotions. Seems we never learn. Stay tuned for the tepid outrage and tut-tuts and tsks tsks. That'll show 'em!!!

(65 posts)I have a great idea and we should all do this as often as possible. I am going to start plastering these kinds of articles all over the right-wing web sites, from now until the election. If our Democratic party wants to be chicken and refuse to refute this, then it's up to the rest of us to get that out there. Personally, I don't care who the Dem nominee is, I will vote Democratic all the way..and right down the ticket. We must take back the senate..there's a good chance we can. As for the house, we can try to evict as many R's as possible. We've had 6 yrs of republicon hell and I'm not gonna take that anymore..Teagoobers must be the first to go, then the puppets can follow. What do you all think?

(16,631 posts)server scandal and the fiasco in Libya (after HRC's regime change) got us interested more broadly. Then, when one peruses the transcript of the hearings, one sees that, even there, HRC was lying repeatedly about her email correspondence with Blumenthal.
