According to the washingtonpost.com, in regard to his committee investigating Benghazi, Trey Gowdy “has told Republican colleagues to ‘shut up talking about things that you don’t know anything about. And unless you’re on the committee, you have no idea what we have done, why we have done it and what new facts we have found’ …He added that his position on the committee’s purpose has remained consistent: ‘Four dead Americans is more than enough work for me. She’s [Clinton] a witness. She was the secretary of state. You have to talk to her. But we have already talked to 50 people not named Clinton. We’re going to talk to another couple of dozen not named Clinton.’”
In this case, Chairman Gowdy is absolutely right. He’s already seen what happens when an unthinking politician like Kevin McCarthy give Democrats ammunition by misstating the Benghazi’ committee’s objective, suggesting it was designed to implicate and defame Bill Clinton’s wife.
Therefore, if Republicans truly desire to have the truth come out, their best and most promising alternative is to let the committee run its course without outside comment. In fact, that probability was reinforced yesterday, according to the following item.
Fox News reported today that, “Gowdy said [on CBS] Sunday that the 12-member bipartisan committee has acquired [Amb. Chris Stephens’] emails from that time…Gowdy said Stevens even joked in an email that maybe he and others at the Benghazi outpost ‘should ask another government to pay for our security upgrades because our government isn’t willing to do it.’”
Thus, it’s hard core evidence that will establish what actually took place regarding Benghazi. And the more that Republicans interfere by spreading unfounded rumors, the more they weaken the Benghazi committee’s influence, and by doing so weaken themselves and their whole party as well.
Which brings us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.
It seems that even without knowing what the results of Bill Clinton’s wife’s Benghazi committee’s testimony will be, Democrat contributors have formed conclusions regarding her presidential candidacy.
According to USA Today: “Hundreds of wealthy Democrats who raised money for President Obama’s re-election have not yet joined the top fundraising ranks of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign…Just 76, or less than 10%…”
And therefore, if 90% of top Democrat fundraisers may be unsure of offering their support to Bill’s wife, the ongoing question must be raised again. Joe Biden, Mayor Bloomberg, Jerry Brown, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you reading this?
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
