"House Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa today issued a subpoena to secretary of state John Kerry, requesting that he turn over all documents and communications relating to the Benghazi talking points, including those belonging to Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff at the time.

In a letter to Kerry, Issa said that the e-mails released by the White House in mid May did not indicate who at Foggy Botton aside from former State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland had expressed reservations about various aspects of the original talking points written by the intelligence community, “including language that made clear the State Department that had received prior warnings of threats in the region and was aware of previous attacks on foreign intersts in eastern Libya, and that extremists linked to al Qa’ida may have participated in the attacks.”

The State Department has thus far refused to turn over the documents voluntarily and, according to Issa, the materials are key to understanding why State Department leadership had reservations about acknowledging that extremists were involved in the attack that left four Americans dead.

Kerry has indicated his willingness to work with investigators and provide information on the attack, which occurred during the tenure of former secretary of state Hillary Clinton."

Next subpoenas will be for mattress tag-tearing violations.

I agree, good!

I hope he uncovers the truth once and for all. Let the record show..............etc.

Maybe then they'll shut the hell up and start running the country instead of running their mouths.

I bet any amount that nothing will come of this. U.S. secrets are U.S. secrets, let see what they discover.

By the way, it wasn't the State Department that had reservations, but the C.I.A., who's facility was under attack, not a State Dept run facility.

Also Congress had reduced the military spending budget. Additionally, the fighter planes were too far away to respond to the attack. I believe I also heard where the Ambassador himself refused an increase in military personnel (I'm not completely sure where I read that, but I watched a video of 2 military strategists talking to Chris Matthews on the subject).

At the very least, there's clear incompetence, followed by a sophomoric attempt at fabricating a cover story based on a lame ass video. Then, as this admin routinely does, it double downs on it's mistake, just to convince the low-information-voters out there that they really really do want folks to believe this crap.

New subpoenas, lots more Congressional hearings, on and on ad infinitum, etc. etc. If it drags out for a couple of months or years perhaps then it might generate as much interest as Kim Kardashian's baby.

Low information voters........

You've been listening to that idiot Flush Limburger cheese again, or is it Rush Limpdick (I always forget the prick's name).............

You'll see once the dust settles and Congress blows their load on this supposed scandal................

The truth will be uncovered by the brilliant assholes who run the, er excuse me, run from this country to make headlines only to be elected to office for another few unproductive years.

Has anyone in the Repulican/Tea Party actually proposed any legislation?

Wake up, people! You've been hoodwinked, bamboozled, flimmed-flammed!

Yes, to the proposed legislation question. But how is this remotely a ' supposed ' scandal ?

Seriously. This admin flat out lied, repeatedly. That alone is a scandal.

I would suggest that Issa is fishing, but it isn't even proper fishing to throw a stick of dynamite in the lake.
