Hillary "What difference does it make" Clinton doesn't want Benghazi investigated further, either.
---
Readers often email me asking what they can do besides feel outrage and helplessness. Here's something. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) has introduced House Res. 36 to authorize the formation of a Select Committee to investigate what happened on September 11, 2012 and thereafter, including:
- how the relevant agencies and the executive branch responded to it and whether appropriate congressional notifications were made;
- any improper conduct by officials relating to the attack;
To date, HR 36 has 106 co-sponsors, all Republicans.
If you don't see your representative's name on the list, call up the House office and ask, Why not?
Speaker Boehner -- speaker for the O administration and GOP Establishment is more like it -- says investigating Benghazi is too expensive and time-consuming. (Bohner, obviously, is not a co-sponsor of HR 36.)
Idea: House members could cut down on their pasha-style travel -- first-class and military VIP travel, which cost taxpayers $1.45 million in 2012. The Washington Guardian today names names of profligate travelers including GOP Reps. Mike Turner (Ohio), Rob Bishop (Utah), Brett Guthrie (Kentucky), Tom Marino (Pa.), Darrell Issa (CA) and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (VA).
Five of six perk-provided Republicans haven't signed HR 36 (exception: Bishop).
How about if they start traveling economy as their constituents do and sign HR 36?
