HUGE Republican Fail: FULL Benghazi Transcripts Will Now Be Released, Despite GOP Protests

 

One of the most notable moments in the recent eternal Republican failure that is “Benghazi”, was when Chairman Trey Gowdy got completely destroyed by Elijah Cummings when he demanded that all of the Benghazi Committee witness transcripts be released.

With righteous indignation, Elijah Cummings made demands to release the entire transcripts, and asked Gowdy on live TV “What have you got to hide?” Apparently Gowdy had a lot to hide.

Gowdy tried to push back during the hearing, arguing that they would not take the matter up for a vote. Cummings shot back immediately, saying that they were completely within their rights to take it up for a vote by committee rules. Gowdy then attempted to shame Cummings into not requesting them by making it sound like releasing them would expose names of victims. You could tell Gowdy was grasping at straws by this point.

Cummings would not be distracted. Firing right back, Cummings said that Republicans keep talking about “the truth” and shouted to release all the transcripts for the hearing so the truth could be seen by the people. After that, Cummings shouted at Gowdy:

Let the world see it! What have you got to hide?

Gowdy again tried to deny that a vote on the release was a valid request and soon after ended the hearing for the day.

In a very ironic twist, Republicans forced themselves to finally reveal the truth about Benghazi. They have been legitimizing these endless hearings by saying they are searching for “the truth” ever since they started. Now when they were confronted on live TV with the demand that the full transcripts be released, they are unable to say no without looking like craven liars. Gowdy has ended up caving under pressure, and will be releasing the full transcripts with no more altering of the documents, selective leaks, or misrepresentation of the truth.

This is a huge win for Cummings and Democrats nationwide. Cummings had been the one from the very start who had been demanding the CIA declassify some transcripts so they could be released, only to find out that they had never been classified to begin with. This fact forced Gowdy to have to admit he had blacked out parts of the transcripts on his own in order to hide information and allow him to spin this however he wanted to cause maximum damage to Hillary Clinton. Also, it was made known that Gowdy allowed everyone to falsely believe that they had been classified to begin with. Remember, a HUGE portion of this was the idea that Hillary used her private email server for sending classified information. It was suggested this was a huge violation of law. Calls for the torches and pitchforks came out of the woodwork against Hillary, and it was Gowdy this whole time fabricating evidence in order to promote himself on TV. Now the full and un-redacted transcripts are coming out, and Republicans have got nothing left. It’s over. Shame on you, Gowdy. Shame on Republicans as well.

    When are the trials for Gowdy and his conspirators going to start?

    • http://CraigNewton4Freedom.ws Craig Newton

      Hillary Clinton was running weapons through Chris Stevens to terrorist. That’s why the private server and that’s still hidden.

      • lottogirl846

        As explained elsewhere, the email server Hillary Clinton used as Secretary of State was that set up for former President Bill Clinton. It was never a secret, it had numerous safeguards, it was on property guarded by the Secret Service, and there were no security breaches. It was paid for out of pocket by the Clintons and maintained with their private funds. No taxpayer funds were involved, the reason it was situated in their home rather than the Clinton Presidential office in Harlem.

        The NYTimes reconfirmed as recently as September 25 that there is no criminal investigation of HRC. Rather, the FBI is examining whether any emails sent to HRC while she served as Secretary of State should have been classified at the time rather than after the fact. It is in part an inter-agency dispute between the FBI and the State Department over the much larger issue of classifying government documents.

        Those attacking HRC have chosen to ignore the fact that when the State Department asked living former Secretaries of State to provide copies of their email records, she was the only one to do so. It is an acknowledged fact that Colin Powell, her predecessor, deleted all of his email records. Condoleeza Rice asserted that she never used email and therefore had no records. During the time Powell and Rice served in the GWBush administration, some 22 million administration emails that should have been retained as official business were deleted and not a single Republican said anything. We will never know what evidence those deleted (a.k.a. destroyed) Bush and Powell emails might have revealed about what led us into the Iraq War, resulting in the deaths of nearly 4,500 U.S. service members and nearly 200,000 people in all including more than 130,000 civilians. Too bad they didn’t release those emails.

        Yes, and the sky will be falling at seven tonight.

  • JohnEffKerry

    So you are OK with the fact that Hillary lied to us?

      Where have you been the last week? Under a rock somewhere?

      • JohnEffKerry

        Clever response.
        Did you miss the parts where Hillary lied?

        • jeff fuhrmann

          What parts? Specify.

          • Patrick T. Hendrick

            You notice no response.

            But nothing much else in your life.
            Except apologizing for your dear, sweet Hillary.
            Because she loves you too.

          • lorencesing

            JohmEffKerry, you have yet to respond to the question asked of you to name specifics. One can only conclude that you, like the Benghazi committee, have nothing to offer.

          • JohnEffKerry

            The video excuse. It bothers you too, doesn’t it?

          • Boo Hoo

            How is the “video excuse” a lie when the one person captured admitted that the video did, indeed, play a role? I’m sorry, but did you watch a different hearing, or do you have selective hearing? I don’t care what she told her family or other dignitaries. Clearly all the information wasn’t there when she wrote what she wrote. You DO know that information changes during investigations as facts are discovered, or is this completely a new concept to you? There’s also this thing called “spin”, which the Republicans got all bent out of shape over, as if they don’t use it daily to lie to the American people every day to further THEIR agenda. Do you honestly think I care that they went on 5 Sunday morning shows and told us it was the video? I seriously don’t. Because it was the video, at least in part, and if you don’t believe that, you’re just a head-in-the-sand fool with a personal axe to grind for imagined reasons.

          • Verity

            “You DO know that information changes during investigations as facts are discovered, or is this completely a new concept to you?”

            Boo, of course JohnEffKerry doesn’t know this. Republicans start out with their conclusions and work backwards, allowing no deviation from their starting point and certainly not bowing to anything as silly as FACTS!

          • Frank LaDonna

            Reality is a conspiracy to make Republicans look foolish.

          • Jeffrey York

            Again JohneffKerry, you have offered nothing of substance.

        • Steven Rakes

          John EffKerry: Please list these supposed lies, with something neutral or bipartisan to support your diarrhea of the mouth

          • JohnEffKerry

            Just a guess here, Steven Rakes, but this isn’t the first time a woman has lied to you, hurt you, and you ended up pretending that you enjoyed it, right?

          • Steven Rakes

            Again JohnEFFKerry, not really, that must be your issue with women, not mine. Typical of your type of pathological liars, completely ignore my post & go off on a completely different path. Why cant you back up your lies & prove me wrong? We both know why, dont we “little” johnny? Because you can’t, poor whiny baby, prove me wrong, if you can..Come on johnny, come on, man up, typical right winger, if all else fails, avoid the subject, lie, & name call, like most little immature, non intellgent kids do

          • JohnEffKerry

            Touched a nerve there, Steven?! Especially love the part where you say “name call”. Tender there isn’t it? Let yourself tell what happened.

          • Steven Rakes

            Not at all JohneffKerry You were the one that said she lied, but refuse to tell us about what. Are you scared of her John, I see several people have asked you what she lied about, & like usual, you can’t give any specifics, just typical of the Trey Gowdy fan club, tell us John?

          • cjhutch

            Hey, JohnEffKerry, I am waiting also. Bring on the evidence.

            You know JohnEff, trying to be clever needs more substance, which you have never shown, so why don’t you try, and publish some fact to back up your snarky, childish uttering ? Without that, you are nothing more than a troll that just vomits Fox, and RW lies, that, apparently people like you love to eat. So, please, go on……..

          • John Hancock

            he asked you a question to prove your assertion, you did not. Now why is s that?

            List the f’ing supposed lies John…or shut up about them if you cant. We can certainly list all the R lies for you if you have time to read that very very long list! WHAT LIES?

          • don

            thats not a response clem kaddidlehopper. what were the lies. we need a citation with whatever you got there too.

          • Brimfyre

            yeah yeah, personal insults. Best way to deflate your argument.

            Where are the lies?

        • TeaPubs are Crazzzy

          Please what exactly did she lie about? Please put it in a sentence.

          • John Hancock

            anyone who watches Fox News is incapable of using sentences, it appears. or answering legit questions.

        • http://beyogasouth.com Andrew Diamond

          Must have. Did you miss the parts where Trey Gowdy “fake redacted” some of the documents - essentially falsifying evidence and being called out on it by the CIA?
          The difference between our statements is you believe Hilary lied. Trey Gowdy could easily undergo criminal charges for what he did.

        • don

          yes. i guess everyone must`ve missed that. i watched most of the 11 boring hours when trey was sweating and twisting in his chair and i dont remember any lies being uncovered.

    • Verity

      JohnEffKerry: Doing the normal Republican thing - got caught lying, changes the subject, does his damndest to put those who called him on his BS on the defensive, repeats himself ad tedium when that fails, ends up wasting everyone’s time.

      Thanks for confirming that this is standard MO, Jinnyboy. Not that we didn’t know it already.

      • Konaruki Hirasawa

        Like the Benghazi committee, pwned.

      What lies Gomer , It took 11 hours to prove she did not lie. GOP needs to reimburse the taxpayers and lock these treasonous terrorists up immediately. Get your facts straight.

    I don’t understand how Republicans can, with a straight face, call Democrats liars. Republicans lie about EVERYTHING and then they get caught. At that point, they try to change the subject.

      Im just waiting for the Karachi Pakistan consulate bombing hearings. There are many Bush officials that need to be hoisted up for that one, it happened in 2004 and yet almost a decade later they haven’t been held accountable.

      To be quite honest, if Bengahzi was really that important, then Karachi would’ve been just as important. That bombing slid under the rug and US consulate officials died.

    • Bob Pagani

      Since you’re so invested in truth, you MUST want all the transcripts to come out, right? Apparently the Democrats are confident that releasing all of them will vindicate their point of view. If the Republicans are SO sure that there’s damning evidence against Hillary, what possible argument is there against putting all the evidence out for the public to see it?
