State Department Emails Are Being Handled By Same Attorney Who Worked On Lois Lerner’s [VIDEO]

By Chuck Ross, Jun. 30, 2015, Daily Caller

The IRS attorney who worked to turn over Lois Lerner’s emails to congressional investigators now has a new gig, this time at a federal agency steeped in its own email controversy.

Catherine Duval now works at the State Department where she is in charge of that agency’s email productions, House Oversight member Trey Gowdy revealed during a hearing last Thursday. Prior to that, Duval worked as chief legal adviser to IRS commissioner John Koskinen.

Gowdy’s Benghazi Panel Wants Clinton’s Top Aides

Credit:  Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call
By David Eldridge, May 8, 2105, Roll Call

The Republican chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Friday defended the pace of his panel’s year-old investigation into the 2012 terror attack and announced plans to interview three top aides to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., in a 15-page “Interim Progress Update” released on the one-year-anniversary of the committee’s creation, blamed the Obama administration for delays in the panel’s probe.

“It is difficult to conduct a fact-centric congressional investigation when the Administration impedes the Committee’s progress by repeatedly failing to answer the Committee’s requests or to provide information in a timely manner,” wrote the South Carolina Republican.

“The largest impediment to being able to write the final, definitive accounting of what happened before, during and after the terrorist attacks in Benghazi is the Executive Branch itself.”

But Gowdy, who also has asked Clinton to appear before his panel, credits his committee with uncovering thousands of new emails and documents related to the administration’s handling of the attack that left four Americans dead.

Hillary’s Emails: Deleted But Not Gone

By Joseph Marks and Rachel Bade, Mar. 30, 2015, Politico.com

As House Republican leaders weigh whether to try to force former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to hand over her personal email server, experts say the messages she deleted from it — or at least portions of them — can almost certainly be recovered.

Half a dozen computer forensics experts interviewed by POLITICO said remnants of Clinton’s emails likely still exist on the server, although retrieving them could be time intensive and expensive.

Clinton’s attorney David Kendall on Friday wrote Benghazi Committee Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), declining the committee’s request for the server to be turned over to an independent third party. The committee said it wants a third party to verify that all Benghazi-related emails were in fact turned over to the panel—especially after Clinton acknowledged deleting anything determined to be “personal” messages.

Kendall called the request pointless, saying Clinton’s IT staff had confirmed to him the messages are gone for good.

Hillary Clinton Wiped Email Server 'Clean', Says Benghazi Committee Head 

By Debbie M. Lord, Mar. 28, 2015, Al.com

The head of the House committee investigating the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, said Friday that Hillary Rodham Clinton wiped her email server "clean," permanently deleting all emails from it.

According to an Associated Press story, Rep. Trey Gowdy, (R-S.C.), said Clinton has not produced any new document and refused to give the server to an independent party for review.

Gowdy said he and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will contemplate new legal actions against the former secretary of state, according to a story from Politico

"After seeking and receiving a two week extension from the Committee, Secretary Clinton failed to provide a single new document to the subpoena issued by the Committee and refused to provide her private server to the Inspector General for the State Department or any other independent arbiter for analysis," the Politico story quoted Gowdy as saying.

Trey Gowdy To Hillary Clinton Lawyer: Turn Over Server To Third Party

By Lauren French and Josh Gerstein, Mar. 20, 2015

The chairman of the House Committee on Benghazi is formally requesting Hillary Clinton turn over her private email server to a third party for a “neutral” investigation of its contents.

Rep. Trey Gowdy wrote to Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, Thursday asking the former secretary of state to make the server available to the State Department’s inspector general “or another neutral, detached, and independent arbiter.”

House Republicans have sought access to the server since the news earlier this month that Clinton used a private email for official purposes during her time at State and her documents were not stored within the State Department, but instead on a private server off-site.

Clinton regained control over those emails but turned over thousands of pages of documents to the State Department for release — except personal emails that Clinton said during a press conference focus on more mundane matters like yoga, her daughter’s wedding and family vacations.

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.”

GOP Congressman Rules Out Impeaching Obama Because – 'Have You Met Joe Biden?'

David Martosko, Nov. 14, 2014, Daily Mail

'Have you met Joe Biden?' South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy asked during a Fox News Channel interview.

Impeachment talk has swirled around Washington since the president announced that an executive order overhauling America's immigration system is imminent.

But some in the GOP see Biden as Obama's hedge against removal from office, since much of his public exposure has come in conjunction with a series of embarrassing gaffes.

Nine Reasons Trey Gowdy Was Chosen To Head The House Select Committee on Benghazi

By Becket Adams, Sept. 16, 2014, Washingtonexamner.com

 The House Benghazi Select Committee on Wednesday will conduct its first hearing on the deadly Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on U.S. facilities in Libya that left four Americans dead.

 “There are still facts to learn about Benghazi and information that needs to be explained in greater detail to the American people,” committee chairman and former federal prosecutor Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said earlier this this month. “And this committee will do just that.”

 The South Carolina congressman and former prosecutor has achieved notoriety on a national scale for not just his knowledge of the law, but also for his sharp, unflinching and blunt style of questioning.

 Here to prove that point, and illustrate exactly why Gowdy was chosen to head the special committee, are nine of the congressman’s most heated and enthusiastic moments from recent hearings and pressers on Benghazi and the IRS targeting scandals:

 1. Benghazi: "I don't give a damn whose careers are ruined!”

2. Benghazi: “I want to know why we were lied to.”

Gowdy Hits Dems On 'Selective Amnesia' --Brash, smart, Gowdy means trouble for Dems

May 13, 2014 Benghazi , Rep. Trey Gowdy 0 Comments
Rep. Trey Gowdy
By Russell Berman, May 11, 2014, Thehill.com

The chairman of the new Benghazi select committee said Sunday that Democrats criticizing Republicans for fundraising off the panel have “selective amnesia,” pointing to their money pitches related to tragedies like the Sandy Hook shooting and Hurricane Katrina.

“They raise money on Sandy Hook. They raise money on Katrina. They raise money on Iraq and Afghanistan,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said on “Fox News Sunday.” “So for me, I will not raise money on Benghazi, just like I never raised money using crime victims when I was a prosecutor, and I’ve asked my colleagues to follow suit.

“But it would be helpful,” Gowdy added, “it would be helpful if our colleagues on other side of the aisle did not have selective amnesia, when it comes to what is appropriate to raise money off of and what is not.”

Nancy Pelosi Leaning Toward Boycotting Benghazi Panel --She's just waiting for the polls to tell her what to do

May 09, 2014 Benghazi , House Minority Leader 0 Comments

By Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer, May 7, 2014, Politico.com

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is considering totally boycotting the Benghazi special committee, or appointing fewer members than allotted to her, according to Democratic aides and lawmakers familiar with her thinking.

Appointing fewer than five lawmakers would be an attempt to show that Democrats don’t fully endorse the committee but still are in place if Republican “tricks happen,” according to a Democratic aide — maneuvers like releasing selective transcripts of depositions.

The California Democrat huddled with her leadership team on a conference call late Wednesday — one day before the Republican leadership plans to pass a bill that would create a special committee to investigate the 2012 attack in Benghazi.

(Also on POLITICO: Behind the Benghazi panel)

Republicans have seven slots on the panel, and Democrats are allowed five members. Pelosi is still considering appointing five Democrats, although sources close to her think that’s unlikely.

Pelosi has made no secret that she thinks this special panel — chaired by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) — is a sham.
