Gowdy: I’d Be Happy To Show Hillary How To Put Two Email Accounts on One Phone

Mar. 10, 2015



VAN SUSTEREN: “And Benghazi Select Committee chair, Trey Gowdy, joins us. Good evening, sir.”

GOWDY: “Good evening. How are you?”

VAN SUSTEREN: “Very well. That was most of what she had to say, but your response. Are you satisfied with what she said?”

GOWDY: “No, ma’am, if possible I have more questions than I did this time yesterday. Before she spoke — we’ll take them in the order in which she gave them to us, Greta. I don’t know how the president is able to function if the convenience is the reason she used one phone. The president is the busiest person in the world and he manages to preserve all his e-mails. I don’t think he has his own server. And Condi Rice didn’t have her own server. I don’t think Madeline Albright had her own server. So the convenience thing — if she wants somebody to show her how to put two e-mail accounts on one phone, I’m happy to do it, because even I managed to figure how to do that, and I have two calendars on one phone. So that’s not tough. Greta, this is solely her doing. She is the reason you and I are having this conversation. We cannot simply take her word that whoever ‘we’ is — She said, ‘We went through and separated the public from the private.’ Who is ‘we?’ [crosstalk] Who gets to make that determination? The best thing to do — I have no interest in her yoga routine, no interest in that. But I have every interest in public record, whether it’s related to Libya or not. And I have no interest in her personal attorney determining what is a public record and what is not a public record. That should be done by a neutral detached person.”

VAN SUSTEREN:” Let me ask you a couple straight questions. There’s no allegations she violated the law, is that right?”

GOWDY: “I am not an expert in any area of the law, and certainly not in the Federal Records Act, so I would not be the person to ask.”

VAN SUSTEREN: “What do you intend to do in light of her statement today? What’s your plan tonight?”

GOWDY: “Greta, we don’t have any choice. We’re going to have to talk to her about the e-mail arrangement, the server, the security. I need to know who ‘we’ is. She said, ‘We made this determination.’ If I heard her correctly, she’s destroyed the e-mails that she seemed personal. There are lots of e-mails, Greta, as you know, that are a mixture of personal and public. How did she reconcile that? We’re going to have to talk to her because of the decision she made more than once, and then again, we have four murdered Americans. We need to talk to her in public about the before, during and after of Benghazi. But because of her decision making, we now need to visit with her at least twice so we can figure out what arrangement she had with herself about public records.”

VAN SUSTEREN: “Has she resisted any effort? Have you tried to speak to her? Has she said no at any time and has she been cooperative?”

GOWDY: “She was cooperative up to a point. Just like the State Department was cooperative. They were really cooperative, except they never told us this arrangement existed and they never told us that they didn’t have her e-mails. So there’s a difference between cooperative and being truthful. The State Department talked to us all we wanted to talk to them. They just never got around to telling us the truth. Most of our communication has been between our counsel and her counsel.

VAN SUSTEREN: Are you suggesting she was untruthful or the State Department has been untruthful? I just want to make sure –“[crosstalk]

GOWDY: “No, no. Yeah, the State Department. I have never had a conversation with Secretary Clinton.”

VAN SUSTEREN: “OK. All right.”

GOWDY: “The State Department.”

VAN SUSTEREN: “And in terms of an independent third person, she didn’t answer that question that was asked from her. I don’t think at least when listening to that interview. Who would you recommend? What kind of person are you looking for to independently go through the e-mails to see whether or not they are private or personal? Who would be someone you would look to do?”

GOWDY: “Someone who just solely calls balls and strikes, a retired federal judge, a retired archivist, an inspector general, a woman or a man with no political ideation, whatsoever, just someone we can all say, you know what, that’s a trust worthy person to determine — if this is really about yoga, I have no interest in seeing it, or the bridesmaids dresses or the wedding cake, I don’t care about that. But if it’s a public record, you should access to it, I should have access to it. And, Greta, she doesn’t get to make that call. We don’t grade our own papers in life. We don’t call fouls on ourselves in the NBA. We don’t call holding on ourselves in football. She doesn’t get to make that call.”

Hillary Clinton Banned Use of Private Email by State Department Employees … While She Conducted All Her Business By Private Email 

By Andrew C. McCarthy, Mar. 5, 2015, NationalReview.com


Fox News’s Catherine Herridge reports (via Fox’s Greta Van Susteren) that, in an internal 2011 State Department cable, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton directed employees not to use personal email accounts for official business due to security concerns. Nevertheless, throughout her tenure as Secretary, Mrs. Clinton used personal email accounts to conduct her State Department business – setting up her own personal servers in her New York home precisely to avoid the State Department system under which government electronic communications were maintained and disclosed pursuant to federal law. 

Ms. Herridge elaborates: Sent to Diplomatic and Consular Staff in June 2011, the unclassified cable, with Clinton’s electronic signature, makes clear to “avoid conducting official Department from your personal e-mail accounts” and employees should not “auto-forward Department email to personal email accounts which is prohibited by Department policy.”

A Heroic Combat US Marine, Sgt Andrew Tahmooressi, USMC Speaks Out

November 10, 2014 al Qaeda , Benghazi 1 Comments
By Joseph R. John, USNA ‘62, Capt USN(Ret), Nov. 7, 2014, Chairman, Combat Veterans For Congress PAC
 
If you watched Sgt Andrew Tahmooressi, USMC interview with Greta Van Sustran, no matter how tough you are, it will break your heart. Sgt Tahmooressi is a “Heroic” US Marine, with two Combat Tours of Duty in Afghanistan. He and his fellow Marines had been fighting for every American. Sgt Tahmooressi was moving back to San Diego so he could be treated for PTSD at the San Diego VA Hospital; all his belongings were in his truck including his 3 weapons.

Sgt Tahmooressi made an “INNOCENT MISTAKE” and took a wrong turn at night in San Diego where there were no lighted signs, and he ended up in Mexico. He explained to the Mexican Border Guards that he made a wrong turn, explained he had all his personal belongings, including 3 weapons in the back of his truck, and asked for directions back to San Diego. Sgt Tahmooressi was then manhandled Mexican police, and was subsequently incarcerated for 214 days by the Mexican Federal Government, a government with double standards. The Mexican Government has been encouraging thousands of illegal aliens to “INTENTIONALLY” violate US Federal Immigration Laws, and has supported over 20 million illegal aliens to “INTENTIONALLY” cross the wide open southern border “by foot”; the Mexican government continues to promote the violation of US Immigration Laws because, for the last 6 years, they’ve received a wink and a nod from Obama who by his policies of preventing ICE from deporting illegal aliens, approves and encourages illegal aliens to cross illegally into the US.

Jill Tahmooressi mother of Sgt Andrew Tahmooressi calls on Mexican authorities to free her son.

Yet when just “ONE” Heroic US Marine makes an “INNOCENT MISTAKE” by crossing the Mexican border at San Diego, openly driving in his truck at night with headlights on, not by sneaking into Mexico on foot, like millions of Mexican illegal aliens cross into the US every year. The mistaken entry occurred because of poor signage on the San Diego side of the border, that eventually resulted in Sgt Tahmooressi being put in Mexican prisons where he was mentally abused and tortured by Mexican Prison Guards while still suffering from PTSD (I made the same innocent mistake during daylight hours while in San Diego near the Mexican border, like Sgt Tahmooressi made in his innocent mistake at night when he crossed the Mexican border; when I showed the US Border Patrol my Federal Law Enforcement Officer’s badge and asked to be allowed to turn around at the border, they told me I would have to continue south, there wasn’t any place for them , so I had to continue into Mexico to be able turn around and head back into the US). Recently, because of what happened to Sgt Tahmooressi, the State of California, corrected the signage, modified the entry roads at the border to allow a turn around, in order to prevent others from doing what Sgt Tahmooressi and I did----when we “INNOCENTLY MISTAKENLY” entered Mexico.

The torturous incarceration and mental abuse that followed for Sgt Tahmooressi over a 7 month period was unconscionable. He suffered consistent beatings by Mexican Prison Guards with sticks and their hands, was forced to his knees facing the wall, was forced to face abuse and threats from Mexican criminals in jails with him who said there was hiring a “hit man” who would kill him (those abusive threats continued for 214 days), he was stripped naked & forced to stand thru the night, forces to remain in his cell naked with no blankets at night to keep him warm, was handcuffed by his legs and wrists in a 4 point restraint without the ability to properly go to the bathroom, Mexican Prison Guards laughed at Sgt Tahmooressi’s attempts to relieve himself while handcuffed by his wrist and leg, those Mexican Prison Guards beating him and laughing at him had less of an IQ than Sgt Tahmooressi. For Obama to allow those mental abuses and those torturous practices to be visited upon a heroic Combat US Marine by the Mexican Government is disgusting. What would the Mexican Government do if the US immigration Service tortured even one of the millions of Illegal aliens in the US like Sgt Tahmooressi was tortured?

The occupant of the Oval Office did nothing to help a “Heroic” Combat US Marine while he was being mentally abused, threatened, and tortured for 214 days, even when the US Consul in Mexico knew Sgt Tahmooressi was suffering from PTSD as a result of his Combat service in defense of the Republic. The Obama administration was informed by the US Consul in Mexico, that out of desperation and in an attempt to escape the torturous incarceration, Sgt Tahmooressi tried to escape from prison. The US Consul was also informed the Obama administration that three days after his escape from prison failed, in order to escape the continued torture and mental abuse, Sgt Tahmooressi tried to commit suicide by cutting his neck with broken florescent light bulb, and that he nearly bled to death. Yet Obama did absolutely nothing; finally just before the election, a judge in a Mexican Court released Sgt Tahmooressi, because Mexico had no way to treat PTSD. Anyone who watched the interview by Greta Van Sustran of Sgt Tahmooressi, in the first 10 minutes into it, would have been aware that the US Marine is obviously suffering from PTSD---the US Consul must had determined that 214 days ago, and would have relayed that to the Obama administration.

The same occupant of the Oval Office who not only refused to help a US Marine for over 7 months, also refused to execute “Cross Border Authority” during the Battle of Benghazi, so the Pentagon was unable to dispatch fighter aircraft that were only 2 hours away in Sigonella Italy. American personnel on the ground in Benghazi, under attack by over 125 Al Q’ieda terrorists for 8 hours pleated for military re-enforcements, yet Obama still refused for 8 hours to issue “Cross Border Authority,” so the Pentagon was never able to dispatch a US Marine rescue mission that was on the tarmac in Europe and ready to go, resulting in 2 US Navy SEALs being murdered by Al Q’ieda terrorists (the US Ambassador had been captured & murdered, and a Communications Specialist had been murdered by Al Q’ieda terrorists during the first hour of the attack). If you are a US Marine or a US Navy SEAL don’t expect the occupant in the Oval Office to help you, if you get in trouble

During the same 7 months period that Sgt Tahmooressi was in a cage in a Mexican prison, Obama exchanged a soldier who deserted in the face of the enemy in Afghanistan, where Sgt Tahmooressi served heroically, for 5 of the most dangerous terrorists incarcerated in Gitmo; that traitorous deserting soldier remained with the enemy for 5 years, while Sgt Tahmooressi returned to Afghanistan to serve a second combat tour of duty. Those 5 dangerous terrorist are now in support of ISIL’s fight in Iraq, along with other Al Q’ieda terrorists Obama released from Gitmo. We also received unconfirmed reports that the Obama administration paid the Taliban a substantial sum of money, as a ransom payment, for releasing of that dishonorable “Army Deserter” Any Army Deserter who deserts his unit in the face of the enemy, should be either jailed or executed.

What would President Ronald Reagan have done, on his watch, if a US Marine with PTSD was improperly incarcerated for over 7 months, was mentally abused, and was tortured by the Mexican Prison Guards---would he have picked up the phone and called the Mexican President, and convinced him to release the US Marine? . The nation and 23 million US military Veterans were shamed by the way the occupant of the Oval Office allowed an Honorable Combat US Marine with PTSD who made an “INNOCENT MISTAKE” and was locked up in a cage in a Mexican Prison for 7 months, was tortured, and was mentally abused while he twisted in the wind because of his abandonment by the occupant in the Oval Office.

The Combat Veterans For Congress Honor Sgt Andrew Tahmooressi, USMC for his service in defense of the Republic, we---all US Marines--& all Americans are so very proud of Sgt Tahmooressi for how he courageously faced his horrible torturous incarceration in a Mexican prison, and trust his mental abuse at the hands of Mexican Prison Guards and his PTSD suffered from two combat tours of duty in Afghanistan will finally receive proper medical attention & treatment in a US Hospital. Semper Fi.

Reaction of A Wounded Vet Who IS Given A Life-Changing Gift from Gary Sinise Is Humbling

 By Mike Miller, Oct. 16, 2014, IJReview.com

 Actor Gary Sinise, perhaps best known for his role as Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump, is a long-time supporter of America’s military, veterans, first responders and their families. Among his many endeavors, Gary focuses much of his attention on helping wounded vets live normal lives.

 Through his Gary Sinise Foundation, the actor teams up with Building for America’s Bravest to build homes for wounded vets – outfitting them with specialized features designed to make their lives and those of their families easier – to give them “more independence,” as Gary says.

CNN/FOX: Hillary Ratings Soft --Greta/Bret waaaayyy too easy. Nada on Broaddrick or "nuts & sluts"! No Olson or Hitchens quote!

June 19, 2014 Bret Baier , Christiane Amanpour 0 Comments
Greta Van Susteren & Hillary Rodham Clinton
By Matt Weinstein, Jun. 18, 2014, Mediaite.com

Hillary Clinton sat down for two heavily-promoted interviews on cable news Tuesday evening, but they did not deliver the blockbuster ratings CNN and Fox News were likely expecting — or at least hoping for.

Clinton’s town hall-style event with Christiane Amanpour was a distant second place at 5 p.m. and dropped to third when it re-aired in primetime at 9 p.m. And while her joint interview with Fox’s Bret Baier and Greta Van Susteren did keep Fox News in first place at 6 and 7 p.m., the numbers paled in comparison to the rest of Fox’s evening lineup.

Beginning with CNN, the 5 p.m. hour averaged 115K viewers in the 25-54 demo and 521K total viewers. That put it barely ahead of MSNBC’s The Ed Show, which had 105K in the demo and 506K total viewers. Meanwhile, Fox’s The Five led the time slot with 336K in the demo and 1.876M total viewers.

When CNN re-aired the interview at 9 p.m. its number increased slightly to 146K in the demo and593K in the demo. While those were the best ratings CNN had all night, it still put them in third place for the hour behind Fox’s The Kelly File (377K in the demo, 2.126M total) and MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show (168K in the demo, 918K total).

Relatively speaking, things did not look all that much better for Fox. That network split its Clinton interview between the last 15 minutes of Special Report with Bret Baier at 6 p.m. and the first 15 minutes of On the Record with Greta Van Susteren at 7 p.m. The first hour averaged 271K in the demo and 1.779M total viewers, which represented a nearly 20% drop in the demo compared to The Five an hour earlier.

"Rumsfeld: U.S. Ties with Karzai 'Gone Downhill Like a Toboggan' Under Obama" -Snatching defeat from jaws of victory.

March 26, 2014 Afghanista , Donald Rumsfeld 0 Comments
By Susan Jones, Mar. 25, 2014, CNSNews.com
Donald Rumsfeld, who served as U.S. Defense Secretary under President George W. Bush, blames poor diplomacy by the Obama administration for the current strained relations with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
"Our relationship with Karzai and with Afghanistan was absolutely first-rate in the Bush administration," Rumsfeld told Fox News's Greta Van Susteren on Monday. "It has gone down hill like a toboggan ever since the Obama administration came in."
Rumsfeld pointed to the fact that the Obama administration has failed to get Karzai to sign an agreement that would allow some U.S. troops to remain in Afghanistan after 2014, when combat ends.
