John Boehner will receive authorization for a select committee.  This committee will function during the summer congressional recess.  It will not be limited in jurisdiction.  It will be led by Trey Gowdy or someone equally qualified.  The truth is going to come out and it is going to be devastating for the Obama administration.  It will also be devastating for Hillary Clinton.

This will happen sooner than you can imagine.  Unlike the slow and ineffective hearings we have enduring for the past year and one half, this select committee will move at the speed of light.  Since congress will not be in session, there will be no other legislative activity to interfere.  The softball questions and grandstanding will be gone.  A select committee does not have to follow standard committee time and jurisdiction restraints.  Questions will be asked and answers will be demanded.

A select committee is likely to have the authority to prosecute someone without getting approval from the DOJ.  If someone fails to respond to a subpoena the select committee will take them to court immediately.  None of this crap where Lois Lerner has been dodging a contempt citation for months.  Democrats will try to downplay the select committee as unnecessary.  I don’t think that will work.  They will also try to restrict its’ power and jurisdiction.  I don’t think that will work either.

Jay Carney’s attempt to argue that the smoking gun e-mail wasn’t actually about Benghazi doesn’t pass the snicker test.  It is one thing to lie.  We expect that.  But this isn’t even a good lie.  Neither the Obama administration nor Hillary Clinton has a good answer to what happened in Benghazi.  We know that because if they had an answer, we would have heard it by now.  They haven’t been able to come up with a plausible explanation, so their sole defense has been to pretend there are no questions.  The significance of that new e-mail is that the thundering silence of the main stream media has been shattered.  It is about to get loud, very loud.
