‘Go get ’em!’ Trey Gowdy ‘honored’ to head Benghazi committee; Citizens offer encouragement

Posted at 5:15 pm on May 5, 2014 by Doug P.

Speaker of the House John Boehner announced earlier that he has named South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy to head up a select House committee charged with investigating Benghazi.

A little while ago Gowdy sent his first tweet since that announcement:

I applaud @SpeakerBoehner for his decision to establish a Select Cmt on #Benghazi and am honored to serve as Chairman http://t.co/KUBqkdNcsM

People interested in getting to the truth about Benghazi seem to believe that if anybody can do the job, it’s Rep. Gowdy:
