Jay Carney: Benghazi Investigation Based on ‘Conspiracy Theories;’ Boehner Taps Rep. Gowdy to Head Select Committee
“The truth, always the truth–at all costs”
I will strive to give you perspectives on the news that you will rarely receive from other sources. At times, there will be eye-witness reports from troubled areas, at other times, there will be documentary,interviews and other interesting works.
I am committed to providing information by posting/archiving videos, articles, and links. I also investigate to raise awareness on numerous issues, inspire critical thinking, involvement, and hopefully to help make our world a better place for all.
According to a recently published report, the report states White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said during Monday’s briefing that any further investigation by Congress into the Benghazi attacks would be “highly partisan efforts to politicize a tragedy,” based on “conspiracy theories” that have been reported as facts by some media outlets and Republican politicians.
Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) announced Monday afternoon that he will appoint South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy to head a bi-partisan select committee that will investigate the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, after the House votes to approve the committee.
At the same time as Boehner’s announcement, Marie Harf, deputy spokesperson for the State Department, said during Monday’s briefing that after being subpoenaed last Friday by Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) to testify on May 21 about Benghazi, Secretary of State John Kerry will not appear before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on that date because he will be in Mexico on official business.
Harf added that Kerry would not cancel his trip to Mexico to testify at the hearing because it would “be a waste of his time and taxpayers’ money.”
Clare Lopez, a former CIA officer who is part of the Citizens’ Commission on Benghazi that was created by the conservative media watchdog group Accuracy in Media, told Fox News host Mike Huckabee on his weekend program that documents recently obtained by Judicial Watch reveal that the White House, and not just the CIA, removed any mention of Benghazi being a terrorist attack, and instead placed the blame on protesters who were incited by the YouTube video, “Innocence of Muslims.”
“As we now know, CIA acting director Mike Morell took part in the alteration of the talking points. But the White House — at the highest levels in the White House — altered those talking points to remove references to al Qaeda and to it being a terrorist attack for the crass political purpose of shielding a presidential campaign,” Lopez asserted.
Harf suggested during Monday’s State Department press briefing that Kerry might consider providing testimony to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee sometime after May 21, even though the Benghazi attacks happened under his predecessor, Hillary Clinton, if Issa coordinates with the State Department instead of opting to issue a subpoena.
