Gowdy: State Dept. hasn’t turned over ‘ONE DOCUMENT’ since Benghazi panel request SIX MONTHS AGO!

Could you say that maybe a government office might be stonewalling after refusing to turn over one single document to a congressional committee investigating the deaths of American citizens?

From the Washington Examiner:

The panel investigating the terrorist attacks on Benghazi has yet to receive emails and records from the State Department six months after requesting them, and won’t schedule a hearing with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton until they get them.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who chairs the Select Committee on Benghazi, sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry expressing frustration that “not a single document,” has been produced by the department despite a request by the Benghazi committee in November and a subpoena issued by the panel in March.

And later….

Gowdy is seeking the information from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is now running for the Democratic presidential nomination. He also wants ‘documents and communications,” related to Benghazi from 10 former senior State Department officials.

Gowdy said the committee needs the information before it can question Clinton at a pubic hearing about her role.

Gowdy said he will schedule the hearing for Clinton only “after receiving a record sufficient to constructively ask questions.”

Now if this was a Democrat investigation into a Republican administration, it would be plastered all over the headlines as the worst breach of public trust since Benedict Arnold!!! But it was Obama so you’ll barely hear about it.
