2015 Benghazi Anniversary:
Republicans Hit Back Against House Dem’s Push to Disband Benghazi Committee: If He ‘Truly Cared…’

As Rep. Adam Schiff called for the end of the investigative House committee on Benghazi he sits on, Republicans questioned just how much time Schiff has devoted to the committee.
Schiff, who penned his frustration with the House’s Select Committee on Benghazi in a New York Times editorial (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/04/opinion/disband-the-benghazi-committee.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=opinion-c-col-left-region®ion=opinion-c-col-left-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region&_r=1) Friday, slammed the committee for being “little more than a partisan tool to influence the presidential race” and detailed his apprehension when asked to join the committee. However, House Republicans had an important note to underscore Schiff’s complaints — the California Democrat has only attended one out of the more than 45 Benghazi interviews.
“In fact, save for voting no to create the committee and then attending a press event on the now well-disproven Democrat talking point that all has been ‘asked and answered,’ Mr. Schiff has largely been a Member of the committee in absentia,” a statement (https://twitter.com/HouseBenghazi/status/639836118133919744/photo/1) from Jamal Ware, spokesperson for the committee Republicans, said.
“If Mr. Schiff truly cared about Benghazi and getting to the truth and contributing to the final, definitive accounting of what happened before, during and after the Benghazi terrorist attack, he would not sit on the outside casting stones and titling at Democrat strawmen, he would actually show up and help guide the direction of the investigation,” Ware said.

Ex-Clinton aide to take 5th before Benghazi panel (http://rep-am.com/articles/2015/09/08/news/national/905593.txt)
Friday, September 4, 2015 1:05 AM EDT WASHINGTON — Aides to presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton urged a former State Department employee who helped set up her private email server to appear before a House investigative panel, but the former staffer has said he will assert his constitutional right not to testify.
The response of Bryan Pagliano to a committee subpoena was unwelcome news to Clinton aides who had pressed him to be interviewed by the GOP-led panel investigating the deadly 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.
