Darrell Issa: Select Committee? We don't need no stinking Select Committee.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) on Friday accepted Secretary of State John Kerry’s offer to testify on Benghazi, with a hearing set for (June) 12.
“As the State Department has moved away from pushing the committee to accept an alternative witness, Chairman Issa accepted the secretary’s offer to testify on June 12. The committee looks forward to his appearance,” said Issa spokesman Frederick Hill.
Earlier Friday, the State Department had essentially challenged House Republicans: either have Kerry testify at Oversight or at the select committee.
“He will appear once on Benghazi,” said State Department spokesperson Marie Harf. “They can work out in their caucus how they want to deal with this issue going forward.”
Kerry’s staff sent a letter to Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) stating the secretary would be willing to testify on June 12 or June 20.
When Speaker John Boehner created the special committee a few weeks ago, he hoped it would streamline Congress’s investigation into the deadly killings, but it seems to be making the situation more complicated.
Issa and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the chairman of the select committee, are now in the position of fighting over Kerry’s testimony.
Harf’s assessment of the situation hits at the heart of what Boehner was trying to avoid. Boehner wanted the special committee to serve as the nucleus for Congress’s investigation into the attack. Previously, the oversight, Armed Services, Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees all had their own investigations.

If I were Kerry...I'd be beating on Issa's door to testify. Gowdy is a pit bull...Issa...well.

Why are you quoting something that wasn't said?

quote:He'll appear as he needs to. The State Dept won't define that. IMO his testimony to Oversight should be sufficient, unless further info arises.

I was paraphrasing. Was it improper to include the quotes?

Do you know what quotations mean?

Why do you think it's called QUOTation marks?

In English writing, quotation marks or inverted commas (informally referred to as quotes or speech marks)[1] are punctuation marks surrounding a quotation, direct speech, or a literal title or name

Issa is big a egomaniac. I believe when he released that email two days ago about the State Department asking YouTube to take down the video he knew he was sabotaging Gowdy's committee. Gowdy likely had the same memo, but Issa wanted to get it out there first.
This is pretty funny stuff, actually.

I guarantee you 99% of the Foxbots don't know there are this many committees along with the Senate committees and the ARB investigation when they regurgitate their talking points.
Reminds me of the Monty Python movie So many committees
