GOP demands more despite Benghazi email release

Source: AP

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House release of some 100 pages of emails and notes about the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year has failed to satisfy congressional Republicans, who are demanding more information.

"Why not release all of the unclassified documents?" said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "The president has repeatedly said that when he gets new information, he'll release it to the public. Why not release — instead of the hand-picked ones — why not release all the unclassified documents?"

A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday Republicans hoped "this limited release of documents is a sign of more cooperation to come," while the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee pressed the Pentagon for more details about military orders around the time of the attack and what military aircraft were in the region.

The next Benghazi from happening. It is nothing but a witch hunt and the finger continues to point to the witches of the GOP. Anything to prevent governoring.

In this case the republicans will complain that the Obama administration is hiding something under that huge pile of non-incriminating stuff.

Was Congress always populated with that many a-holes? Don't bother, I know that the answer is a resounding YES.
