House
GOP Owes the Benghazi Dead,
Wounded, and Their Familes the Respect and Urgency They Did Not Get
From
Hillary or the President
By Hugh Hewitt
May 09, 2013
Set
aside the disgraceful actions
of the broadcast MSM today in not covering the riveting testimony of
Greg Hicks
Wednesday, and set aside even the shocking conduct of the
Administration on the
night of 9/11/12 and during the days, weeks and months following.
The
MSM is almost exclusively
left-wing and almost completely committed to the defense of President
Obama and
former Secretary of State Clinton. With a few, honorable exceptions
they will
ask no hard questions and conduct no follow-up, and of course the
senior levels
of the Administration are beyond shame and no "Deep Throat" is likely
to emerge from their ranks.
No
member of the Administration in
the know has resigned in protest over what happened in Benghazi, and
such acts
of honor haven't been common in the federal government for a long, long
time so
don't look for them to begin to arrive now simply because truth has
begun to
seep out from under the locked-down cover on Benghazi.
But
Speaker Boehner, Majority
Leader Cantor and the GOP control the House and they can almost
instantly
set-up a Select Committee to follow up on the shocking testimony today.
The
transcripts of my interviews with Bill Kristol, Stephen Hayes and Eli
Lake are
posted here, but it is enough to say that there were many extraordinary
revelations made today and a great number of serious questions raised
which
need to be asked and answered, quickly.
At
a minimum the House needs to
subpoena the NSA and the Department of State for the recording of the
2:00 AM
phone call between Mr. Hicks and Hillary and her senior staff, a
recording both
I and Eli Lake suspect exists as a matter of routine NSA practice, if
it has
not already been erased. Subpoenas must also go out to Hillary,
everyone on the
conference call at 2:00 AM, and of course to Cheryl Mills, the enforcer
of the
cover-up. Lt. Colonel Gibson must be deposed, and his commander and
then that
man's commander etc. until we get to the bottom of the stand down
order. The
denial of air assets from Aviano is another area of great interest.
Investigators need to travel to Libya and speak with the senior
officials there
as to their response to being embarrassed by the Administration…
