The House of Representatives' controversial Select Committee on Benghazi on Monday released a number of emails addressed to and from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that were being withheld from the committee despite repeated requests. The committee's chairman obtained the emails as a result of a request made to Sidney Blumenthal, who recently spent hours being questioned by lawmakers in a private session last week.     http://www.politico.com/story/2015/06/trey-gowdy-who-withheld-bengh...

According to the Benghazi panel's leader, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-South Carolina, nearly half of Secretary Clinton's public record regarding Libya and Benghazi -- including the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission -- pertains to emails from Clinton-supporter and former adviser to President Bill Clinton, Sidney Blumenthal.

Not satisfied with only the Blumenthal copies of his Internet communications with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Gowdy sternly requested that officials at the State Department turn over their copies of the Clinton-Blumenthal emails by the end of the day.   http://benghazi.house.gov/sites/republicans.benghazi.house.gov/file...;

“Once again the Benghazi Committee uncovers information that should already be part of the public record but was not made available to the American people or congressional investigators,” said Gowdy. “These emails should have been part of the public record when Secretary Clinton left office and at a bare minimum included when the State Department released Clinton’s self-selected records on Libya. For that reason, the committee has made the decision to release the latest set of Clinton’s public records unearthed by the committee,” said Gowdy, a former criminal prosecutor.                    http://www.examiner.com/article/gowdy-s-benghazi-panel-releases-new...
