What Trey Gowdy Intends To Do About Benghazi
Proves Why He’s A Great Leader

Lead Story by Greg Campbell, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —

Perhaps the saddest part of Barack Obama’s presidency is that while most conservatives could easily see his promise of “hope’n’change” to be absolute malarkey, his willingness to betray the American public by operating as the most secretive president this nation has ever had has surely surprised even the most ardent conservatives.

In essence, while so many of us expected more of the same kind of covert governance, as president, Obama has operated more closely akin to Soviet-era officials than to anything remotely resembling a modern president.

Tea Party Congressman Trey Gowdy intends to upturn Obama’s apple cart by shining a spotlight on the Obama Administration’s failures with regards to Benghazi.

Obama could be remembered as “The Teflon Tyrant” as nothing appears to ever stick. With a complicit media coupled with a radicalized Democrat Party enjoying the full cooperation of the moderate faction of the GOP, the Obama Administration has had little reason to fear the public learning the truth about what happened in Benghazi, at the IRS, in Fast and Furious and a variety of other treasonous offenses.

All that is about to change if former prosecutor Trey Gowdy has his way.

After Congress returns from their recess, the investigative committee to learn the truth about Benghazi will be underway. Gowdy has already claimed that he will subpoena Hillary Clinton and while whether or not she will be forced to testify remains unclear, she is most-certainly unlikely to release her personal Benghazi notes without a fight.

Gowdy has also maintained that he will not be putting on a show, but will, in fact, be thorough in his investigation. According to The Hill:

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Tuesday laughed off the idea that the House select committee investigating the events surrounding the 2012 Benghazi, Libya, attack would finish its work before the midterm elections.

“No. Heavens no,” said Gowdy, who is chairman of the committee, in an interview with ABC News. “I have decided that I would rather be right than first. So we are going to do it methodically, professionally.”

Gowdy said the committee would hold its first public hearing in September, after members return from the August recess.

It will touch on the State Department’s Accountability Review Board recommendations, and how well they have been implemented in the wake of the attack that killed three Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

Gowdy said there will be other public hearings, but the committee would do most of its work in private.

“I can get more information in a five-hour deposition than I can [in] five minutes of listening to a colleague asking questions in a committee hearing,” he said.

He added: “My view of public hearings — if there is a factual discrepancy, then the jury or our fellow citizens need to hear both sides, and they can determine where the greater weight or credibility is. But if there is a consensus on a point, there really is not any reason to litigate that in public.”

Democrats have tried to downplay the importance of the committee, but in truth, this is the first time a select committee has been appointed to investigate the terrorist attack that left four Americans dead and that was shrugged-off by the Obama Administration.

Gowdy doesn’t seem to care if people are heavily-invested in his committee or if he makes headlines.

“You want to get on the news, go rob a bank,” Gowdy matter-of-factly stated.

In May, Trey Gowdy shredded the mainstream media in their failure to properly investigate what should be an outrage. After scolding the press for several minutes, Gowdy reminded: (Video Below)

“Congress is supposed to provide oversight, the voters are supposed to provide oversight, and you were supposed to provide oversight. That’s why you have special liberties and that’s why you have special protections.”

IT TAKES TREY GOWDY JUST THREE MINUTES TO SILENCE THE MEDIA

It is very unfortunate and counter-productive when race becomes the focus of any story such as this. But it almost always does. Our propaganda media, which loves to use the race card, almost always makes any such tragedy some kind of racial discrimination story. Sometimes it is; but more often than not, race had nothing to do with it...

Shortly before 4 pm, rocket explosions were heard in Be’er Sheva. The IDF confirmed that two of the rockets struck outside Be’er Sheva and one near Netivot. All three rockets hit open areas, causing no injuries or damages. No rocket...

» THE MIDDLE EAST OR MIDDLE AMERICA? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FERGUSON LOOKS LIKE FALLUJAH
By Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show —

“If the United States is a police state, then the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is its national police force, with all the brutality, ineptitude and corruption such a role implies. In fact, although the DHS’ governmental bureaucracy may at times appear to be inept and bungling, it is ruthlessly efficient when it comes to building what the Founders feared most—a standing army on American soil.” - John Whitehead

I don’t want to live in an America where the people fear the government and its enforcement minions. This is the quintessential definition of tyranny. I want to live in an America where the government and its enforcement goons fear the people. This is the quintessential Jeffersonian definition of freedom.

Our Founding Fathers provided the people with the First Amendment and the right to peaceably assemble in order to confront tyranny before it could gain a foothold. The newly released crowd control Army manual attempts to legitimize the killing of peaceful protesters. Obama has placed the Second Amendment in jeopardy with a serious of contrived actions ranging from Fast and Furious to the infamous Batman shooting. Under the auspices of the newest version of the East German Stasi and its pot bellied, blue uniformed goons from the TSA, the Fourth Amendment is gone. Thanks to the current Congress and Obama, the last vestiges of due process and the Fifth Amendment were obliterated with the passage of the “Snatch and grab” legislation known as the NDAA which allows for the secret police to secretly arrest people for any reason and indefinitely detain citizens without bail, a trial, legal representation or even formal charges being presented. Prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment have been obliterated as evidenced by the three American citizens, one a juvenile from Denver, CO., who have been murdered by the government in drone strikes without any due process of law. The 10th Amendment, designed to protect the citizens from federal government over-reach is destroyed, in part, through the militarization of the police through Project 1033 which represents the extreme militarization of the police...

» TOROSSIAN: Obama Cares More About Stopping Israel’s Weapons Than Stopping Iran’s Weapons
Commentary, Truth Revolt —

resident Obama decided to stop shipping missiles to Israel and "tightened weapons shipment procedures to Israel." This, while Israel is under attack by terrorists who hate Israel only a tiny bit more than they hate America. Israel's weapons against Hamas are more of a concern to Obama than Iran. On the foreign front, President Vladimir Putin blatantly disrespects Obama...

The American backed offensive to recapture Iraq's biggest dam slowed on Monday, as fighters from the Islamic State rigged part of the area with booby traps and remotely triggered bombs. Whilst a series of air strikes by American F-18 fighter jets reportedly sent most of the jihadists fleeing from the central parts of Mosul dam, a network of landmines and planted explosives they...

» RUSH LIMBAUGH: Brown Family Attorney ‘Poisoning The Well’ By Using The Word ‘EXECUTED’
By The Daily Rushbo —

(AUDIO) CALLER: Right. We watched the press conference that had the attorneys for the family and Dr. Baden and the gentleman that was helping him with the autopsy. And the thing that got my attention was the first gentleman that spoke, he kept using the term how the policeman “executed” the young man.

RUSH: That was the family attorney, Mr. Crump. He was from Florida. Well, he was the Trayvon Martin family lawyer.

CALLER: Well, just using the word “executing,” I mean, what does that say right there? You know, obviously it sounds like maybe he’s, to use what you spoke about earlier, maybe he’s trying to reestablish the myth, if you will, and what else is he doing? He’s out there potentially souring the jury pool if this all comes to a trial because this man, I’d heard at least twice and maybe more, he kept referring to the policeman that “executed” the young man.

RUSH: Right, because that’s what everybody already thinks. The myth has already been established. The myth was established early last week. He’s just perpetuating it with that, and that, to me, I think that’s irresponsible. Of course you can’t say that because he’s a minority and therefore a victim, and we have to understand the rage, and we have to understand their anger and so forth, but that’s incendiary to me. This whole thing is incendiary. This whole thing is a myth. The whole thing is based on a myth, that it happens all the time.

This whole thing is based on the fact that this is a common occurrence, not just in St. Louis, but in America. And, as part of the myth, once again, the minority community is fed up with it and they’re not going to put up with it anymore, and so they burn and loot their own neighborhoods. To talk about this as an execution poisons the jury pool, but it also is designed to make sure that if there is another version of this that’s the truth, that it won’t be believed. Poisoning the well, I think this is called. But remember, this is a family press conference, a family lawyer, and this is designed to convey the family’s feelings about all of this. Anyway, I’m glad you called, Bob. I appreciate it...
