Benghazi Committee Summons Hillary


From the Washington Examiner:
A House panel Tuesday formally requested Hillary Clinton to testify about the private server and email account she used while serving as secretary of state. 
Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi, sent a request to Clinton's personal attorney, David E. Kendall, requesting that Clinton appear before the committee no later than May 1 for a transcribed interview about the server and email. 
The request comes after Kendall told Gowdy that the server had been wiped clean and that it would be impossible to recover the 30,000 emails Clinton deleted last year. 
Gowdy, in his request to Kendall, also asked Clinton to "reconsider" her refusal to turn over the server to a neutral third party, which he called "highly unusual, if not unprecedented." 
Clinton said she only deleted personal emails and turned over every work-related message to the State Department, which is reviewing the data to filter out classified information. 
"Because of the Secretary's unique arrangement with herself as it relates to public records during and after her tenure as Secretary of State." 
Gowdy wrote, "this Committee is left with no alternative but to request Secretary Clinton appear before this Committee for a transcribed interview to better understand decisions the Secretary made relevant to the creation, maintenance, retention, and ultimately deletion of public records.

"What difference at this point does it make?!?" And every Republican dick in the room shrivels up. Happened before.

Yes, indeed. That's exactly what will happen -- or a variant thereof.
