If you want some answers and action on Hillary’s latest scandal, Trey Gowdy is just the man to get’er done. Today he made a statement about what he expects to investigate after the revelation that Hillary only used a personal email account, ignoring federal reporting requirements.
The special House committee investigating the 2012 terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya, on Tuesday asked that former secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s personal e-mails be preserved as part of the committee’s investigation.
Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said panel members knew Clinton used personal e-mail accounts during her tenure but didn’t learn until recently that all of her State Department business was conducted outside normal government e-mail channels.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that Clinton avoided official e-mail accounts and may have broken federal rules about maintaining government records.
Gowdy, backed by most other Republicans on the special Benghazi committee, told reporters the revelation regarding Clinton’s e-mails proves he was right to protest that some documents relevant to the Benghazi attacks haven’t been turned over to congressional investigators.
“You do not need a law degree to understand how troubling this is,” Gowdy said.
He said committee investigators are still deciding whether to subpoena Internet service providers for Clinton’s e-mails mentioning the Benghazi attacks.
“The records custodian should be at the State Department, not at her private law firm,” Gowdy said. “It should be a State Department employee who transcends administrations who comes before Congress to swear… that you have everything.”
The unfortunate part of all of this is that if Hillary has deleted any emails that might mention illegal activity, there’s no way they’d be able to get them now. And yet despite her setting this account up immediately before taking the position of State Secretary, we’re told that it was just a mistake.
