TREY GOWDY HAS A FEW QUESTIONS
for the media about Benghazi (video below). Working as a prosecutor, he learned how to ask questions. In his capacity as the chairman of the House Select Committee, he may get some answers.
RealClearPolitics has posted the video along with this transcript:
Democratic operative Lanny Davis will be working outside the Select Committee hearings in the guise of a Truth Squad the concept must come out of 1984 to protect Hillarys interest in the hearings. Larry OConnor and Brian Wilson try to squeeze a few answers out of Davis in the video posted here.

RealClearPolitics has posted the video along with this transcript:
We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act in Benghazi, and make no mistake, justice will be done. That was the president of the United States over a year ago.
Were investigating exactly what happened, but my biggest priority now is bringing those folks to justice. That was the president of the United States over a year ago. No one has been arrested. No one has been prosecuted. No one has been brought to justice. We dont even have access to the witnesses.
You in the media were good enough for my 16 years as a prosecutor not to tell me how to do my job, and so far in Congress, yall have been good enough not to tell me how to do my job. Im not telling you how to do your job. But Im going to ask you some questions, and if you cant answer these questions, then Ill leave you to draw whatever conclusion you want to draw about whether or not the media has provided sufficient oversight.
Can you tell me why Chris Stevens was in Benghazi the night that he was killed? Do you know? Does it bother you whether or not you know why Chris Stevens was in Benghazi? Do you know why we were the last flag flying in Benghazi after the British had left and the Red Cross had been bombed? Do you know why requests for additional security were denied? Do you know why an ambassador asking for more security days and weeks before he was murdered and those requests went unheeded? Do you know the answer to why those requests went unheeded?
Do you know why no assets were deployed during the siege? And Ive heard the explanation which defies logic, frankly that we couldnt have gotten there in time, but you know, they didnt know when it was going to end. So how can you possibly cite that as an excuse? Do you know whether the president called any of our allies and said, Can you help? We have men under attack. Can you answer that?
Do any of you know why Susan Rice was picked? The secretary of state did not go. She says she doesnt like Sunday talk shows. Thats the only media venue she does not like, if thats true. Why was Susan Rice on the five Sunday talk shows? Do you know the origin of this mythology that it was spawned as a spontaneous reaction to a video? Do you know where that started? Do you know how we got from no evidence of that to that being the official position of the administration?
In conclusion, Congress is supposed to provide oversight, the voters are supposed to provide oversight, and you are supposed to provide oversight. Thats why you have special liberties, and thats why you have special protections. I am not surprised that the president of the United States called this a phony scandal. Im not surprised Secretary Clinton asked, What difference does it make? Im not even surprised that Jay Carney said Benghazi happened a long time ago. Im just surprised at how many people bought it.
