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:
@TGowdySC @SpeakerBoehner Release the Kraken!
