x-Staffer Accuses Benghazi Committee Of Becoming ‘Partisan Investigation’ Into Hillary Clinton
by Alex Griswold | 4:46 pm, October 10th, 2015


A former investigator for the House Select Committee on Benghazi tells CNN that the committee became a “partisan investigation” meant to target Hillary Clinton.

Major Bradley Podliska, an intelligence officer for the Air Force Reserve fired ten months ago, says that the investigation began as a nonpartisan inquiry into the September 11 attack on the Benghazi consulate. But Podliska claims the committee pulled funding from other lanes of inquiry and changed into a Clinton-focused investigation once they learned of the former Secretary of State’s private email server.

“I knew that we needed to get to the truth to the victims’ families. And the victims’ families, they deserve the truth — whether or not Hillary Clinton was involved, whether or not other individuals were involved,” Podliska told CNN, in an interview set to air Sunday.

Podliska, who identifies as a conservative Republican, also plans to file a lawsuit against the committee alleging that he was improperly fired, both for protesting the committee’s Clinton focus and for taking time off to fulfill his military service obligations.
