Trey Gowdy Threatened With Assassination After Being Chosen To Lead Benghazi Investigation

 U.S. Capitol Police are investigating threatening emails against Rep. Trey Gowdy, the South Carolina firebrand recently appointed by Speaker Boehner  to lead the select committee investigating the Benghazi terrorist attacks.

Via Weasel Zippers, The Politico reports that “the investigation follows emails sent to news outlets warning that Gowdy would be ‘assassinated.’”

The Capitol Police would not comment on the scope of the investigation but Officer Shennell Antrobus confirmed that there is “an active, open investigation.”

Gowdy was tapped on Monday to lead a new select committee on Benghazi. His office referred all questions to the Capitol Police.

Such as: “Trey Gowdy: I can see Benghazi from my house!”

 *The People’s Cube have a ways to go before they can compete with the homicidal progressives who want to murder  Gowdy.

Gowdy talked to Martha MacCallum on Fox to talk about the investigation, this morning.

MacCallum asked Gowdy if Hillary Clinton, Ben Rhodes and Tom Donilon would be called up to testify before the committee. He answered, “all the above – have evidence….”
