Nancy Pelosi: Benghazi Victims’ Families Oppose #Benghazi Select Committee
At a press conference Friday afternoon, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) spoke about the conditions under which Congressional Democrats may, or may not, participate in the newly-formed House Select Committee on Hashtag #Benghazi, laying out conditions which Democrats would like to see met. Leader Pelosi also revealed that family members of two of the four Americans killed in the Benghazi attack have reached out to oppose the committee. “They said ‘Do not take us down this path again,'” Pelosi told reporters.
Leader Pelosi pointed out that Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) opposed a new Benghazi investigation as recently as a few weeks ago, and explained the range of options for Democrats with regard to the committee, which she called a “kangaroo court.” Those options include a total boycott, appointing one Democrat, or taking whatever the Republicans give them.
“We must have standards where a Democrat must concur on the issuance of subpoenas, decisions to depose witnesses, in the decision to interview witnesses, and with the decision to release any report, document, or information by the committee, or by the staff of the committee,” Pelosi said. She added that once negotiations at the staff level were complete, she and Speaker Boehner would meet, to possibly agree on terms.
“It’s very sad,” Leader Pelosi continued. “Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods. Two of their families have called us and said ‘Please don’t take us down this path again.’ It’s really hard for them, it’s very sad.”
According to ThinkProgress, one of the family members who reached out was that of Tyrone Woods…READ MORE

There she goes again making idiotic pronouncements just like her “food stamps are good for the economy” routine.
Epiphany Dh May 10th, 2014 at 01:19
What does this have to do with food stamps? “Leader Pelosi also revealed that family members of two of the four Americans killed in the Benghazi attack have reached out to oppose the committee. “They said ‘Do not take us down this path again,’” Pelosi told reporters.” She’s simply relaying how some family members of the people who were killed feel about these endless investigations. Are you calling the families of the four who were killed idiotic? Your comment really doesn’t make much sense.
AnthonyLook May 10th, 2014 at 15:01
The only idiotic pronouncements being observed are the Republican Benghazi lies replacing their Obamacare lies. American voters are not believing nor supporting the lie loving tea party birther racists on this Benghazi lie just like they haven’t supported any of their other lying scandals.

Think again liberal..Think again…polls prove you wrong.
gallop poll..
Most Agree That Both IRS and Benghazi Deserve Further Investigation
Most Americans agree that both of these situations are serious enough to warrant continuing investigation, with little difference in views of the two — 74% for the IRS matter and 69% for Benghazi.
Americans place similar importance on these two issues despite the administration’s appearing to give more weight to the IRS situation. The Obama administration has acknowledged the seriousness of the IRS situation, going so far as to fire the acting head of the IRS as a result, while being more critical of the continuing focus on the way it handled the aftermath of the Benghazi crisis. However, Obama on Wednesday released a long series of emails relating to the development of talking points after the crisis and Thursday asked Congress to increase embassy funding worldwide.

Sorry Jack, even though you trolls are working overtime looking for comments written as long ago as 21 days and more. Your tactics won’t work.. You watch too much Fox and rely on their poll. It seems not even Darrell Issa even wants to hear from Kerry now, and as time goes on you will begin to notice that the Republicans will rush the investigation because they already know they have nothing. If they milk it, their failure will look even more personal than their Obamacare failure.
Judy Mccracken May 10th, 2014 at 22:17
Pelosi received calls from the FAMILY….. how idiotic is that? and btw, Food Stamps are good for the economy….. they are spent back into the local stores and not saved….but of course you know that….
John Tarter May 10th, 2014 at 23:35
Then EVERYONE should receive food stamps, right? Hey, why not just give everyone $50,000 dollars a year of taxpayer funds as that would help the economy too. (I see economics is not your strong suit)
Judy Mccracken May 18th, 2014 at 23:11
Nobody said that smart ass…..the topic was….. FS going back into the economy….. and your complaint would be what? I know what would help the economy…..NOT using my taxes to pay for Walmart/McDonald or Targets employees…… seeing tht economics is your strong suit… what’s the economics of MY taxes paying walmart in food stamp’s which they also get a subsidy for….?… how does that figure into your economic plan?
83% goes to kids/vets/elderly
900,000 to Vets… how does that translate into EVERYONE….
WM’s a double dipper… resp for employees being on FS’s then they get subsidies for the use of the same FS”s…….good economics, eh?
Ennaxor May 11th, 2014 at 22:43
If that were true Judy the economy would be booming. There are more people on food stamps today than any time in history. All that funding just flowing into the economy. I think your logic is flawed.

Why are so many folks on food stamps?… military families use them to survive, WHY?…. elderly because they have a very small, if any, retirement….Walmart employees, because they are among the working poor who are not paid a decent wage so they require FS’s…..that we pay for…
What do you think these folks do with FS’s….if not put them back into the economy?….WHAT?

If the dems had notihng to hide why try so hard to convince a nation they don’t? Why not let the investigation clear them..? And why not ask democrats why they never once investigated all the claims they say bush and chenney did? why they sitting on their dead asses and not bringing people to justice? why cause they would incrimidate themselves and lies they tell us would be just that lies..They cant blow their own cover liberals..So why ask us why no one has ever called an investigation in Irag war and all other attacks..Not our fault nor gops for their lack of bringing jusitice to those they claim did wrong..Thats all on them no one else after all this is their job..They raise hell about all the injustice in this nation but what do they do about it and who they hold accountable for it..? No one they continue to bitch and maon and groan and yell about it but do nothing ..When will democrats hold people accountable liberals? When will they finally do the job they say needs to be done? when will they bring justice to all those men and women killed in this war they claim was unjust? Why ask us or the gop ? whats the democrats job? where do they fit into this picture? Keep burying yourselves with all your excuses when its no ones fault but your for not holding your party up to do their damn jobs and stop the corruption and fraud and lies you so claim leads to all this mess and war..Tell your democrats to grow some balls and do their damn job as law makers and keepers of the law..If you cant quit bitching and moaning when no ones held accountable..Its just as mush your faults.

And why not ask democrats why they never once investigated all the claims they say bush and chenney did? why they sitting on their dead asses and not bringing people to justice? why cause they would incrimidate themselves and lies they tell us would be just that lies..They cant blow their own cover liberals..So why ask us why no one has ever called an investigation in Irag war and all other attacks..Not our fault nor gops for their lack of bringing jusitice to those they claim did wrong..Thats all on them no one else after all this is their job..They raise hell about all the injustice in this nation but what do they do about it and who they hold accountable for it..? No one they continue to bitch and maon and groan and yell about it but do nothing ..When will democrats hold people accountable liberals? When will they finally do the job they say needs to be done? when will they bring justice to all those men and women killed in this war they claim was unjust? Why ask us or the gop ? whats the democrats job? where do they fit into this picture? Keep burying yourselves with all your excuses when its no ones fault but your for not holding your party up to do their damn jobs and stop the corruption and fraud and lies you so claim leads to all this mess and war..Tell your democrats to grow some balls and do their damn job as law makers and keepers of the law..If you cant quit bitching and moaning when no ones held accountable..Its just as mush your faults.

Here liberals Gallup poll..
Most Agree That Both IRS and Benghazi Deserve Further Investigation
Most Americans agree that both of these situations are serious enough to warrant continuing investigation, with little difference in views of the two — 74% for the IRS matter and 69% for Benghazi.
Americans place similar importance on these two issues despite the administration’s appearing to give more weight to the IRS situation. The Obama administration has acknowledged the seriousness of the IRS situation, going so far as to fire the acting head of the IRS as a result, while being more critical of the continuing focus on the way it handled the aftermath of the Benghazi crisis. However, Obama on Wednesday released a long series of emails relating to the development of talking points after the crisis and Thursday asked Congress to increase embassy funding worldwide.
TELL US AGAIN HOW THE AMERICAN PUBLIC THINKS ITS A WASTE OF TIME?

Jack;
Here liberals Gallup poll..
_____________
So what?
Ask people how much they actually know about the issues.
In 2003 CSM poll; 51% supported the war on Iraq, but 45 % said all or most of the 9/11 hijackers were Iraqi.
That changed in time.
The reason for the investigations is so that the public assumes there is something there.
That was the point of the US attorney firing scandal; You investigate your opponent, and the public assumes there MUST be something wrong.
Ask if thy can put it into perspective with;
Beirut?
And the REAL IRS scandals of the Bush administration, that got no coverage;

Thisisn’t the first time the IRS has been in hot water for meddling in the politics
of nonprofits. And if past is prelude, the Obama administration may have a
years-long scandal on its hands.
In
2004, the NAACP was hit with an audit over accusations of improper political
activity for criticizing the Bush administration.

IRS targeted Church in 2005;
In2004, a preacher at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, Calif., delivered
an anti-war sermon. The 3,500-member church found itself under investigation,
but was able to beat back the agency after hiring high-powered
Washington attorneys and soliciting support from conservative and liberal
religious groups.
http://articles.glendalenewspress.com/2006-02-17/news/gnp-pollandscape17_1_glassell-park-irs-surveys
In 2004,
the Wall Street Journal reported that the IRS audited Greenpeace at the request of Public Interest Watch, a group that’s funded by
Exxon- Mobil.

The Bush IRS Collected Political Affiliation Data on Taxpayers;
In 2006, acontractor hired by the IRS collected party affiliation via a search of voter
registration rolls in a laundry list of states: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
Texas, Utah and Wisconsin. This begs the obvious question: why? Why would the
IRS need voter registration and party affiliation information?
