Cummings Responds to Explosive New Report on Chairman Gowdy's Links to STOP HILLARY PAC
Source: House Select Committee on Benghazi
"Gowdys leadership PAC, Themis, shared the same treasurer as Stop Hillary PAC since 2013, an outspoken political operative and Clinton opponent named Dan Backer.
Backer also served as treasurer on three other PACs that each donated $2,000 to Gowdy for Congress in April. Only after being confronted with these facts by the Washington Post did Gowdy return these donations on Friday.
Just last month, STOP Hillary PAC spent $10,000 on robocalls and other efforts in support of Gowdy."

(44,187 posts)There have been quite a few stories posted here on DU about emailghazi which relied mostly on direct quotations from Gowdy. Gowdy was presented as credible. He isn't.

(45,984 posts)Speaking only for myself, I have always thought the Benghazi Committee exists only because it's a a partisan witch hunt and that no further investigation of Mrs. Clinton's emails is going to be worth the money they plan to spend on it or enlighten us with a lesson we haven't already learned from it. Like the candidate I support, I'm sick of hearing about them.
I have never said otherwise.
So I will put you insinuation down here with claims the NAFTA created jobs, that Mrs. Clinton receives no support from Wall Street banks, and that all anyone needs to know about the TPP can be found on whitehouse.gov.
Have a good day, sir.
Le Taz Hot
(22,271 posts)That is a bald-faced lie. People posting Hillary's (many) negatives is NOT "in bed with" anyone. You just lost ALL credibility.
Renew Deal
(81,876 posts)I'm not talking about "negatives" in a general sense. All candidates have those. I'm talking about those humping Beghazi and Email.
Le Taz Hot
(22,271 posts)agreeing with the Gowdy's Benghazi witch hunt. And yes, I say Benghazi because that is the subject of the OP.
The email issues is a separate issue and is ongoing.
Renew Deal
(81,876 posts)Would you shed a tear if Hillary lost the primary because of some Benghazi finding?
Jack Rabbit
(45,984 posts)If Hillary loses the nomination, I won't shed a tear at all. Furthermore, if she does, it will be for good reasons, not for any adumbrated by cheap demagogues like Trey Gowdy or Ted Cruz.
Again, have a good day, sir.

We're outraged, too! Now, 5 Democrats have been sitting face to face with Gowdy for over a year. This new revelation happened in April - 6 months ago - and the Democrats on the committee are "shocked" to "learn" of this from the Washington Post? You mean you never suspected anything like that was going on? But good job anyway for being shocked now!

So everybody just cool it, OK?

(2,807 posts)If you do not want to be called out as indistinguishable from the 'baggers, stop parroting their horseshit while stumping for Bern. Just stay positive for the Berner, and everything will be fine. Otherwise, deal.
