Time to get to the TRUTH

WASHINGTON – Three family members of victims of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack demanded Monday that House Speaker John Boehner create a select committee to investigate the assault that killed four Americans.

U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, and security officers Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were all killed during the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya on Sept. 11, 2012.

In a letter hand-delivered to Boehner, Smith’s mother, Pat Smith, and uncle, Michael Ingmire, as well as Woods’ father, Charles Woods, pressed Boehner to form a select committee to investigate the Benghazi scandal.

“Your reluctance to lead and resistance to create a Select Committee on Benghazi must end,” the letter read. “More than 75 percent of all House Republicans – with the conspicuous absence of those in leadership or committee chairmen – have co-sponsored Rep. Wolf’s Select Committee bill. Few bills in this Congress demonstrate such overwhelming support from Republicans."

In addition to forming a focused bipartisan committee, the letter also cited a recent New York Times report that the letter claimed ignored congressional testimony.

So far, Boehner has had five separate House committees investigate the matter.

An independent select committee would have subpoena power and the authority to read classified documents. Boehner has said publicly he opposed the creation of a select committee and didn’t see the need for one.

There was no immediate reaction from his office to Monday's letter.

In a Dec. 30 opinion piece published on FoxNews.com, Ingmire called for Boehner to be removed from office.

“As a family member the slow drip of truth from these committees is maddening and, at times, insulting,” Ingmire wrote. “Overall, John Boehner has been an ineffectual House Speaker and needs to be removed. He has failed to unify even his own party.”
Fox News' Catherine Herridge contributed to this report.

Boehner needs to step up or OUT if he is not going to get the truth out of Hillary, Obama and the rest of the crooks in this Administration. He has had months doing things his way and wasted millions doing it so one has to wonder what he is trying to keep hid from the families of the victims.

And King on the NSA snooping, that man knows more than he is letting on as when he is asked about Swowen or the collecting of data he looks as guilty as Clapper did when he lied to Congress about NSA snooping on American citizens. If he is not willing to clear the air he should have a primary challenge

When it comes to these older establishment Republicans going hard on the young guns of the party, maybe they should remember which ones of the party were a part of the problem that has lead to 17 trillion dollars in debt. HINT It wasn't the young guns. :x
