The Republicans control the House of Representatives and the Senate. Therefore,it should be easy to investigate what happened at Benghazi<\/a>, despite the fact that the Democrats involved are experts at stonewalling. Well, new information that has come to light indicates that part of the problem with the investigation may be that there are also Republicans involved that would like to keep the details of what happened at Benghazi secret.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, The Daily Caller <\/a>posted an article about some new information that has come out as a result of the emails that are finally getting released.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Perhaps most intriguing in the recent email batch is a one-line note<\/a>\u00a0to Mrs. Clinton from a top advisor, Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan. The subject of the September 10, 2011 email is simply \u201cRogers.\u201d The note in its entirety reads: \u201cApparently wants to see you to talk Libya\/weapons.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRogers\u201d is then-House Intelligence Committee<\/a> Chairman Mike Rogers<\/a>, a Republican. The email was unearthed at the deep end of the document dump and first noted in a piece<\/a>\u00a0by Catherine Herridge<\/a> and Pamela Browne of Fox News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chairman Rogers and other GOP House committee chairman spent a good deal of time opposing the formation of the Benghazi Select Committee. As Eli Lake reported last year<\/a>, Rogers \u201cwarned his colleagues\u201d about the committee. Lake reported that \u201cthe chairmen of the House Intelligence, Armed Services, and Government Reform committees \u2014 Reps. Rogers, Buck McKeon<\/a>, and Darrell Issa<\/a>, respectively \u2014 all opposed the formation of a select committee on Benghazi.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The story goes on to detail the connection between Representative Rogers and his wife and Benghazi. In 2014, Representative Rogers abruptly resigned from the House of Representative<\/a>. About the same time his wife left an executive position at Aegis Defense Services<\/a>, a private defense contractor. This may be totally coincidental, but it illustrates one thing–America<\/a> has developed a political class that sometimes puts its personal interests ahead of the interests of our country. That is a major problem in our government right now.<\/p>\n

Please follow the link above to The Daily Caller to read the entire story. This story is one more example of why term limits are a good idea. There seems to be something in the water in Washington that makes people compromise the principles they claimed to have before they got there. Maybe if we limit their terms of office, the effect of the water will be minimal.<\/p>\n

We owe a debt to Representative Trey Gowdy for continuing this investigation despite opposition from his own party.<\/p>\n
