Meanwhile in the Oval Office….
Pardon? Yeah, Yeah… hang on. OK,… how’s this?
On the …night of September 11th, 2012 ….”I…. did… not… have … f-a-c-t-u-a-l …relations …with …this …woman”.
WASHINGTON DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today named the seven Republican members of the Select Committee on the Events Surrounding the 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi.
The Select Committee also provides for five Democratic members, and those names will be released when provided by the House Minority Leader. Boehner issued the following statement:
“This investigation is about getting answers for the families of the victims and for the American people. These members have each demonstrated a commitment to this goal, and I have confidence that they will lead a serious, fact-based inquiry.
As I have expressed to each of them, I expect this committee to carry out an investigation worthy of the American lives lost in Benghazi. I also urge my Democratic colleagues to treat this tragedy with the proper respect and appoint members so that we can finally, on a bipartisan basis, get answers, provide accountability, and help deliver justice.
It is critical that this committee do its work in a focused, timely manner, so that the House can continue to make the economy and job creation its priorities.”
The Republican members of the Select Committee will be:
Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN)
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), Chairman
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)
Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS)
Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL)
Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL)
Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA)
Meanwhile Nancy Pelosi is trying to str-e-e-e-tch out her political attack narrative time before she announces the five Democrat appointees.
The YouTube ID of Ljc9TZ3Agr4?feature=player_embedded is invalid.But she must have a case of the Monday’s – […] At a Friday morning caucus meeting, Pelosi seemed keenly aware of the variety of opinion within her party. To those who suggested Democrats participate without any concessions, she said, “Thanks a lot for giving me leverage over the last couple of days.”
[Henry] Waxman, according to sources, said that Pelosi is the greatest leader he’s worked with, and added, “She just flew to L.A. and back in two days and that can make you a little grumpy.” Her caucus laughed. (linked)
