WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of a special House committee investigating the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, promised Tuesday to "ratchet up" an inquiry he said is being hobbled by resistance from the Obama administration.

 

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said the committee has recently received 15,000 pages of new documents, but needs greater cooperation from the State Department and other agencies to do its job.

 

"Letters haven't worked. Southern politeness hasn't worked. We're going to ratchet it up," Gowdy said at the end of a two-hour hearing that at times turned into a partisan grudge match.

 

Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the panel's senior Democrat, complained that the committee's investigation was moving at a "glacial" pace and said he and other Democrats "have grave concerns about the partisan path this committee has taken over the past year."

Benghazi Hearings Provide a Glimmer of Hope

 

Roger Aronoff — February 3, 2015

 

Last week, the Democrat Members of the Select Committee on Benghazi virtually declared war on the majority members, criticizing their pace, rules, and committee scope.

 

Representative Linda Sanchez (D-CA) claimed that the Select Committee was on a wild goose chase for a nonexistent “unicorn” and “nefarious conspiracy,” and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) falsely called the stand down order a “myth.”

 

But in what may be a turning point for the Select Committee, Republican Chairman Trey Gowdy emphasized at the January 27th hearing that “we’re gonna pick up the pace…. I have no interest in prolonging” the investigation into Benghazi.
