Major Podliska on the Mutation of the Benghazi Committee into the Emailgate Committee

The Dems are now armed and demanding the GOP shutdown that Super PAC they call the Benghazi Committee.

"Major Podliska is a lifelong Republican and believes the committee had been doing good work until March this year when he noticed a clear and sudden change."

"In September 2014, he began working for the Benghazi committee, on which his role was to investigate the way that various federal agencies in Washington responded to the attack, in which four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, were killed."

"But two things changed in March, Major Podliska said. First, after revelations that Mrs. Clinton relied exclusively on a private email server for her State Department correspondence, the committee became preoccupied with the State Department’s role in the controversy surrounding the Benghazi attack and less interested in a comprehensive investigation."

"Second, Major Podliska informed his superiors around the same time that he would need to perform 39 days of active duty for the Air Force in Germany in a handful of intervals, beginning with the middle of that month. (The length of the leave later rose slightly.)"

So he believes the Committee was doing good work until the revelations of the private email server became the focus. 

"Despite the change in focus, Major Podliska continued to work on his examination of the response in Washington to the attack, only to meet escalating resistance from his superiors, according to his complaint. In his view, they felt he was not focusing enough on Mrs. Clinton’s alleged mistakes, a criticism he considered odd given that his findings were far from favorable to her."

“My thing was actually related to Hillary — I just wasn’t all in on Hillary,” he said in the interview. “I was finding other officials at other agencies that bore responsibility for the post-attack piece.”

The Committee was set up to uncover wrongdoing. The good news is they've led us to it. The bad news: it's their own. 

To use a Congressional Committee for partisan, political ends is more than just distasteful and sordid. It's plain illegal. 

So yes: time for an investigation of the Benghazi investigation.
