"Benghazi committee interviews drone operator"
By David Sherfinski - The Washington Times - Friday, June 10, 2016
The House Select Committee on Benghazi has demanded a top Defense Department official testify after thecommittee interviewed a witness Thursday who says he was a drone sensor operator on the night of the attacks — and is a person the official had said in late April the department could not find.
Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy said he was stunned by Assistant Secretary of Defense Stephen Hedger’s delays in finding the drone operator, identified as “John from Iowa,” particularly after Mr. Hedger sent an error-filled message thinly accusing the committee of wasting the Pentagon’s time and money.
The committee heard from the drone operator Thursday, and Mr. Gowdy announced Friday he’s issued a subpoena to make Mr. Hedger testify next week on why it took him months to produce the man.
“This witness is still on active duty and confirmed Thursday the Air Force knew exactly who he was — a drone sensor operator who was operating over Benghazi on the night of the attacks,” Mr. Gowdy said.
In late April, Mr. Hedger had written to Mr. Gowdy about a recent “crescendo” of requests of the Defense Department.
“The number and continued pace of these requests since February 2016 are in tension with your staff’s statements that the Committee expects to finish its investigation in the near term,” Mr. Hedger wrote.
Mr. Hedger said in his letter that the committee had requested to interview the individual identified as “John from Iowa,” and only later asked for other drone operators’ information.
“The Department has expended significant resources to locate anyone who might match the description of the person, to no avail,” Mr. Hedger wrote.
But Mr. Gowdy says it was the other way around — they sought the drone operators, and later narrowed in on “John” after the defense department couldn’t comply with a broader request for the names of all relevant personnel.
Now, it is Mr. Hedger who will have to answer for his performance, Mr. Gowdy said.
Yo, Nail Him To The Wall Mr. Gowdy!!!!!!
Indeed, Mr. Gowdy has said he’d like to finish the committee’s investigation into the attack as quickly as possible, but that the ""Obama Administration"" has dragged its feet on complying with information requests.
Yo, Yes, Partisan Law-Breakers!
