“How could you look at everything when you don’t even bother to interview the person who is ultimately responsible for what happens at the State Dept?” Gowdy asked the head of the Accountability Review Board, Admiral Mullen at today’s Oversight hearing.
Mullen replied that they “found no evidence that she was involved in the decision making, and no need therefore” —
But Gowdy interrupted saying that she was responsible for the decision making (per a 1998 ARB recommendation regarding Sec. of State responsibilities)…
He asked Mullen if he interviewed the president about whether he made any calls to our allies in the region to ask for help since our people were under attack. Mullen answered in the negative.
He also asked about the “heads up” Mullen gave to the State Dept. about Charlene Lamb testifying.
Mullen answered that he didn’t think the State Dept. would be represented well by having her testify.
“But the facts pick the witnesses”, Gowdy countered.

You can always count on the “soundbites” of these hearings coming from the same handful of committee members: Jordan Oh – Gowdy SC – Kelly – Pa – Chaffez – Ut
Regarding the dimoCraps. Just when you think that they couldn’t sink any lower, they manage to chip in and start shoveling some more. Talk about disrespectful? Walking out when the Families testify before the committee, what a disgrace even coming from the likes of them.
Kinda reminds you of. . . . .
Are they really interested in getting to the bottom of anything?

Yep. Especially Patricia Smith’s testimony, added above.
At times like this I think of good ol’ Nathaniel Grigsby who had this written on his tombstone in 1890:
“Through this inscription I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic party. I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the misfortunes of our nation have come to it through this so called party. Therefore, beware of this party of treason.”
