out of their fucking minds: Gowdy vows to 'ratchet up' Benghazi investigation

?

WASHINGTON — The chairman of a special House committee investigating the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, promised Tuesday to "ratchet up" an inquiry he said is being hobbled by resistance from the Obama administration.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said the committee has recently received 15,000 pages of new documents, but needs greater cooperation from the State Department and other agencies to do its job.

"Letters haven't worked. Southern politeness hasn't worked. We're going to ratchet it up," Gowdy said at the end of a two-hour hearing that at times turned into a partisan grudge match.

Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the panel's senior Democrat, complained that the committee's investigation was moving at a "glacial" pace and said he and other Democrats "have grave concerns about the partisan path this committee has taken over the past year."

do something for a living. Not that fooling a bunch of Foxnews zombies is hard to do. It's just sad that it is millions and millions of people imo.

The more time they waste with that, the less time they have to screw my country. Hell, they should do a fact-finding junket while they're at it!
