Two Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today called on President Obama to “come clean” and release all communications related to the Benghazi attack.
Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) want all relevant materials between the U.S. Mission to Libya and the State Department leading up to the attacks.
“As the truth about what happened in Benghazi on the night of September 11 continues to trickle out, it’s becoming more apparent that the administration’s lack of truthfulness seems to emanate from a desire to hide something from the American people,” said Corker and Isakson.
“After almost two months have passed, it’s time for the president to finally come clean and order his administration to fully disclose all communications relevant to the security situation in Benghazi. Surely the deaths of four civilian public servants warrant that action,” the senators said.
In letters to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sept. 25 and Oct. 3, Corker and Isakson asked the State Department to promptly provide their committee with these communications.
“We hope that in the next few days you follow through with transmitting information requested by members of Congress. In particular, we renew our request for all communications between the diplomatic mission in Libya and the State Department related to the security situation to be transmitted to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee without delay,” Corker and Isakson wrote in the October letter, to no avail.
The President can’t answer that “what did he know, and when did he know it” question because there is an ongoing investigation into … “what did he know, and when did he know it”. And he really wants to know – more than anyone else – what he knew and when he knew it, and he will not rest until he finds out, some time after the election. So rest assured, folks. Next question?
Why don’t you guys in the senate stop ‘asking’ and start ‘demanding’ answers? Stop using big, soft words like “truthfulness” and “disingenuous” and start using harsh, bold words like LIES and MURDER and TREACHERY to get people’s attention and hold it. You’re going to have to put on your “Big Boy” pants and play for keeps if you don’t want another Fast and Furious debacle.
Concur. I support impeachment of the President if he is reelected and the facts warrant.
Long term–I think the American Experiment has failed. Too any minorities wanting other people’s money, and they may in fact have a built-in demographic advantage.
