Benghazi hearing watch thread party

Well, I figured I'd start one as I imagine quite a few are watching this.

What's sad is that Gowdy is anything BUT impartial, He's 100% sure that Hillary is guilty and his rhetoric & tone of voice in opening statements is disgusting.

fills me throat and I can't take it any more.

Gowdy is done with his grandstanding.

Now the blessed Mr Elijah Cummings is speaking. Whew!!!! Hillary is keeping a stone face.

Rep. Cummings is throwing it back at Gowdy! Go get him!!!

Yes they can be expelled. No they can't be impeached. You said he should be impeached, not expelled.

4. Gowdy's links to Stop Hillary PAC

http://democrats.benghazi.house.gov/news/press-releases/cummings-responds-to-explosive-new-report-on-chairman-gowdy-s-links-to-stop

Gowdy’s leadership PAC, Themis, shared the same treasurer as Stop Hillary PAC since 2013, an outspoken
political operative and Clinton opponent named Dan Backer.

Backer also served as treasurer on three other PACs that each donated $2,000 to Gowdy for Congress in April.
Only after being confronted with these facts by the Washington Post did Gowdy return these donations on Friday.

Just last month, STOP Hillary PAC spent $10,000 on robocalls and other efforts in support of Gowdy.

snip

On September 2, 2015, Backer—on behalf of Stop Hillary PAC—filed a report with the FEC reporting an expenditure of $10,000 in “support” of Chairman Gowdy. The “purpose of expenditure” is listed as “digital messaging delivery and robocalls.” The “name of federal candidate” is listed as “Trey Gowdy.”

take the word 'vast' right out of her vocabulary..She should just forget that it is even a word. Every time she uses that word it conjures up the whole whitewater/monica era...someone should tell her that..this is not a diss..yes, i am a bernie supporter but depending on who wins the nomination i may find myself supporting her ..she needs to not use that word
