Hillary Clinton Room Post

Susan Page, USA TODAY

Congressional Democrats accuse the special committee of being little more than a GOP fishing expedition aimed at damaging the former secretary of State — and possible future Democratic presidential nominee — even though a half-dozen previous congressional inquiries already have examined the attacks that killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

But on USA TODAY's weekly video newsmaker series, Gowdy, 50, insisted he was approaching the inquiry not as a partisan but as the federal prosecutor he once was, arguing it already has broken new ground.

Don't believe him till I see it. He is still on a witch-hunt.

1. I was hoping Gowdy was dumb enough

to put her on display. Damn.

[hrmjustin]

2. We will have to see. That man will try to play reasonable but he isn't.

[Thinkingabout]

3. It is another swift boat attack. The GOP would never admit they cut the funding for state security

Locations and this may have been the most negligent decision. This is the Congressional Clown Car in action.

[hrmjustin]

5. Agreed.

[OKNancy]

4. well... he wants her under oath

so they can gin up a perjury charge if she forgets something.

[Kelvin Mace]

6. No,

"...he might be willing to accept assurances under oath from Hillary Clinton that she has provided all her relevant emails to the panel"

He wants her to agree to his terms, then he will drag out an email he'll claim was "relevant" but she didn't show him, and claim she perjured herself.
