All the news of the back and forth of the newest Congressional Hearing…..Does anyone recall the Benghazi Hearings?
I know it is a lifetime ago in news years but it was a big deal….I remember the partisanship that flowed from that hearing…the vile accusations and of course the hypocrisy……
News has come out that some of the so-called evidence was doctored (I have only one source)……
Below is a reminder of just insidious leading Republicans became in their pursuit of doing everything possible to derail presumed Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the 2016 election.
Take for instance the bombshell revelation that the Central Intelligence Agency reached out to Democrats serving on the Select Committee on Benghazi on Saturday, October 17, 2015 to confirm that Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) had altered documents provided to the committee by Hillary Clinton.
CIA Confirms: Trey Gowdy Altered Documents To Frame Hillary Clinton
The article is well sourced….and I will be checking for other sources of this information.
I was always against these hearings because they were a “witch hunt” (a popular term these days)….I was opposed because I thought they were asking the wrong questions….they should have asked why the ambassador went to a dangerous area for a meeting with such a small security force?
That was the question that needed an answer….but instead a game was played at the expense of the ambassador’s family.
That was pathetic, sad and extremely tacky.
I appears the the GOP was guilty of the very same things they accuse the Dems of doing…..maybe they should stop pointing fingers and do their job with integrity…I know a lot to ask be at least try.
I Read, I Wrote, You Know
“Lego Ergo Scribo”
At least Benghazi investigation held in public arena instead of locked doors with democrats only ones present as is the current pre impeachment subterfuge. .
But just as moronic as they say this one is…..besides I would let the GOP know after the witness testified to keep the theatrics to a minimum….and yet nothing about the made up evidence….so very tribal….chuq
Actually, there were some led by Mr. Gowdy which were held behind closed doors.
I remember the whole incident being a fiasco, and the subsequent debates did little for the families of those killed. They should have shown more respect, in my opinion.
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes and if evidence was generated then they should be jailed….chuq
I know you’ll be able to answer this question re Syria. Trump says some presence to remain to protect oil fields. For whom ? From whom ?
I asked the same questions….and have no answers for you…..Syria ism a sovereign nation and this sounds a lot like attempted thief…..chuq
From what I’ve read few minutes ago oil production state owned by Assad. But seems moving Kurds into NE syria where some production
fields are as a Kurdish sanctuary.
“We’ll work something out with the Kurds so that they have some money, so that they have some cash flow,” Trump said. “Maybe we’ll get one of our big oil companies to go in and do it properly.”
Again that is NOT his call…..any deals without Assad is theft. chuq
Interesting developments. We are protecting the oil for the benefit of the Kurds. That is better than engaging in war. Sounds like a good development.
We have been over there giving aid to people trying to overthrow Assad and kill him. I would not not complain about using oil located within Syria’s borders to protect Kurds who were Syrian citizens. Seems minor compared to what we have been doing and going to war to carve up Syria assist MSM and Trump’s critics wanted to do.
The problem is that it is not Kurds oil…it belongs to ALL Syrians…..It should be up to the Syrian military to protect their own resources unless asked for help…..chuq
But that’s different! Kevin McCarthy boasting on Hannity in Oct. 2015: “Everyone thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi Special Committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping.”🤦🏻♀️
PLease check back tomorrow for I have an answer to your question….see you then? chuq
Absolutely! I love your blog!
Thanx I appreciate your visits and comments…..sorry I wish I was a fiction reader but I do not have the time these days…LOL chuq
That’s okay. I occasionally do other posts. Did you see the open letter written by a military wife to the Kurdish people? I shared it a couple of days ago.
I did not but I will check it out….thanx for the heads up….chuq
That letter needs to be read by every American to help them understand…..chuq
That’s how I feel. This isn’t about politics, or it shouldn’t be. This is about loyalty, honor and integrity…or the lack thereof.
True that….chuq
