Talk about unmitigated gall........




WASHINGTON -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney met with House Republicans on Thursday morning, suggesting they may need to subpoena former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to get more answers on the deadly Sept. 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya.

"I think Hillary (Clinton) should be subpoenaed if necessary," Cheney said during the gathering, according to Fox News.

Since the Benghazi attack, Republicans have been hammering the Obama administration and arguing that Clinton and her inner circle engaged in a "cover-up" of what really happened. On Wednesday, they held a nearly six-hour-long hearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on the matter.

When asked by a reporter about Cheney's subpoena suggestion Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) replied, "I have confidence in our committees and our chairman to continue to pursue this. I'll let them make the decisions about what those next steps are. ... There's going to be more hearings and more information." .................(more)

Should have gotten you and your little lap dog when she had the chance.

Now we reap what we sow by not throwing your ass in jail 4 years ago.

GEEZ, you owe me a keyboard cleaning....
and that man is responsible for the death of more then 3000 Americans and our guests that day, let alone the uncounted ones in that Iraq cluster. Why does he think he should continue to use air?
