After Embarrassing Benghazi Hearing, Gowdy Now Wants Them In Private
Congressman Trey Gowdy doesn’t want to be embarrassed again on national television.
“I can just tell you that in the 50 some odd interviews we have done thus far, the vast majority of them have been private and you don’t see the bickering among the members of Congress in private interviews,” Gowdy said.
Gowdy told host Chuck Todd that Hillary Clinton requested the “voluntary interview” be public, which he noted was “well within her rights,” but added that there is never “any of what you saw Thursday” in closed-door hearings. “It is one hour on the Republican side, one hour on the Democrat side, which is why you’re going to see the next two dozen interviews done privately,” Gowdy said. “The private ones always produce better results.”
Asked whether the cameras affected how the representatives conducted themselves during the hearing, Gowdy replied, “What do you think, Chuck?”

Gowdy was slapped down by Clinton and the Dems calling him out for his ridiculous partison questions and intent. Stop whining Gowdy, this IS the publics business.

In public you POS you blew $4.7 I want to see on what..

There is no reason to have private hearings. There is no classified material involved. The only reason he wants it private is he’s ashamed of what goes on, and doesn’t want anyone else to see it.
Gina Bousquet October 26th, 2015 at 15:43
Should all be public so the people can watch the regrettable Republican Congress in action.
The Original Just Me October 26th, 2015 at 23:08
Very True.
Gina Bousquet October 27th, 2015 at 12:52
Hope if there really comes a Planned Parenthood Committee it will also be public

By the basic workings of our government, everything is supposed to be in the open and public accessible.
Gina Bousquet October 28th, 2015 at 13:09
Sure is the right way…

It’s our money you slacker. We have the right to see how you spend it.
The Original Just Me October 26th, 2015 at 23:07
NOT according to the Republicans. Their’s is “Just shut up and we will handle it. You don’t need to know what’s going on.”

The private ones always produce better results — in which “better” is synonymous with “less embarrassing”

“…the next two dozen interviews done privately,” Gowdy said. “The private ones always produce better results.”” Because if we don’t get the results we want with the first one in private, we’ll keep on going. such bullshit to the max. and besides that, we don’t want to look any stupidier than we already do. no need to get our asses kicked publically, when we can lie to the public about the results.

“Asked whether the cameras affected how the representatives conducted themselves during the hearing, Gowdy replied, “What do you think, Chuck?”” that answer says it all. we don’t want to get our asses kicked in public again and look like the fools we are, as it’s less embarassing.

If you send about a dozen Americans to a war zone, you are signing their death warrants and committing an ultimate crime that is punishable by maximum federal prison time and labeled an American traitor.
Roctuna October 26th, 2015 at 18:21
Huh?
whatthe46 October 26th, 2015 at 22:26
are you referring to the iraq war? otherwise, like Roctuna said “Huh?”

Dwight D. Eisenhower was an American traitor?

“The private ones always produce better results.”
I’m not sure what to make of that…
Nothing, not a single thing, nil nada, zilch, has been proven by the Benghazi hearings other than that which we already knew. Nothing but a waste of money and time.
The Original Just Me October 26th, 2015 at 23:03
BUT, it may become money well spent if it helps the Democrats oust the Republican Stupids in next years elections.
Foundryman October 26th, 2015 at 16:50
Private hearings makes it so much easier to tell the gullible public what we want them to hear. That’s also called propaganda, but who’s paying attention?
Roctuna October 26th, 2015 at 18:22
Exactly. He can release more quotes that are incomplete or out of context the interviews are private. When he eventually releases the complete transcripts, which happens eventually, the controversies are in the past and the damage to HRC is more effective.

So he wants to run a Star Chamber?

I can always count on Chucky to not ask irrelevant questions he never disappoints.
StoneyCurtisll October 26th, 2015 at 19:57
And of course non of this has anything to do with politics or the 2016 election….(yeah right)

Yea, ONLY on the RIGHT.

The PRIVATE ONES always produce Hidden results. There I fixed it for him. Aren’t these the very same folks that are hollering for MORE TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT ?

The word is “Secret”, not “Private”.
Get it right.

Good observation.
jybarz October 26th, 2015 at 23:09
Of course, they found over and over again that there’s no smoking gun, so it has to be covert now so they stop getting smoked out with their sham investigations.
Had they found a single evidence against Clinton, then it has to continue to be paraded in public.
A-holes!

There needs to be a law that says elected officials need to at least LOOK intelligent.
