Congressman Gowdy Explains Why We Won’t Forget Benghazi



Stop whatever you are doing and watch this video.
Justice remains to be served for the murders of four Americans in Benghazi last year and the Obama Administration has desperately tried to ensure everyone forgets about it.
They have consistently lied about the details surrounding the attack and forbid people from speaking out. Then, when they are called out on these lies, they say not to worry about it because “it happened a long time ago.” Hillary infamously asked, “What difference does it make?”

Even if the Obama Administration continues to cover it up and the mainstream media remains silent, we know that it does matter. Until there is justice, people will continue to question Benghazi. One such man is Representative Trey Gowdy, who recently explained why he and thirty other congressmen are taking Obama to court.
In the video below, Gowdy demands answers on Benghazi and criticizes the Obama Administration and the media for failing to do their respective jobs. He says the few “answers” that we have gotten “def[y] logic.” His speech will send chills down your spine.
He begins with a quote from Obama himself: “We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act in Benghazi. And make no mistake; justice will be done.”  He said that over a year ago…

No one has been arrested. No one has been prosecuted. No one has been “brought to justice.” We don’t even have access to the witnesses. [...]
I’m not going to tell you how to do your job, but I’m going to ask you some questions. And if you can’t answer these questions, then I will leave you to draw whatever conclusion you want to draw about whether or not the media has provided sufficient oversight.
Can you tell me why Chris Stevens was in Benghazi the night that he was killed? Do you know? Does it bother you whether or not you know why Chris Stevens was in Benghazi? Do you know why we were the last flag flying in Benghazi — after the British had left and the Red Cross had been bombed? Do you know why requests for additional security were denied?
Do you know why an ambassador asking for more security days and weeks before he was murdered and those requests when unheeded? [...] Do you know why no assets were deployed during the siege? And I’ve already heard the explanation — which defies logic, frankly — that “we couldn’t have gotten there in time.” But, you know, they didn’t know when it was going to end, so how can you possibly cite that as an excuse?
Do you know whether the president called any of our allies and said, “can you help? We have been under attack”? Can you answer that?

He goes on to question why “Susan Rice was picked … to go on Sunday talk shows,” rather than Hillary Clinton, who was the Secretary of State at the time. He slams the administration trying to use a YouTube video as the definite explanation of the cause of this “spontaneous” attack. “Do you know where that started?” he asked.
The best part of his speech comes at the end of the video where he blasts those who took the Obama Administration’s absurd lies at face value, without question: 
Congress is supposed to supply oversight. The voters are supposed to supply oversight. And you [the media] were supposed to provide oversight. That’s why you have special liberties and you have special protections.
I am not surprised that the President of the United States called this a “phony scandal.” I’m not surprised Secretary Clinton asked, “what difference does it make?” I’m not  even surprised that Jay Carney said that Benghazi “happened a long time ago.”
I’m just surprised at how many people bought it. 

The Obama Administration has done everything within (and beyond) their power to make sure people forget Benghazi. But we never will sweep these murders, lies, and outright corruption under the rug out of political convenience.
We want answers, we want justice, and we applaud Congressman Gowdy’s heroic stand.
