Congress has been investigating the terrorist attacks in Benghazi for almost two years but the Obama administrations stonewalling and refusal to release pertinent information has left us no option but to create a select committee. Its ridiculous that we have to create a select committee in the first place but the administration is more interested in covering their own asses and protecting the President than telling the American people the truth. Several unanswered questions remain, such as What was the President doing while the consulate was under attack? Why did he not take action or issue any specific orders? Why did Hillary Clinton refuse to ask the military for assistance? Why was Susan Rice sent out to lie about the causes of the attack instead of Secretary Clinton? Why did the President repeat this lie long after it was exposed? What is Jay Carneys role in fabricating the Internet-video lie? What other documents have been withheld from Congress? Im proud that over a year ago I co-sponsored H.Res.36 calling for a select committee on Benghazi. The House Oversight Committee and I, in our role as the chief watchdog body in Congress, have continued to push for justice on this matter through multiple oversight hearings. Im pleased that House leadership has finally recognized the importance of this issue and have announced they will schedule a vote to establish a select committee on Benghazi. I am committed to uncovering the whole truth about what happened in Benghazi and to holding the Obama administration accountable for the lack of a response and the subsequent cover up. Americans and the families of the four brave men who died in Benghazi deserve the whole truth, not the lies spewed by the administration.
