The leader of the Republican-led special Benghazi committee tried Sunday to discredit a former staffer’s claim that he was fired for not joining in a partisan-driven effort to tarnish Hillary Clinton, saying he never even spoke to the ex-staffer.
South Carolina GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, said he never met with the staffer, investigator and Air Force Reserves officer Bradley F. Podliska, and that Podliska was, in fact, warned about his own efforts to discredit Clinton, who was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
“Because I do not know him, and cannot recall ever speaking to him, I can say for certain he was never instructed by me to focus on Clinton, nor would he be a credible person to speak on my behalf,” Gowdy said.
He also said Podliska has never mentioned Clinton — from when he was counseled about his “deficient performance” to when he was fired and through the entire legal mediation process.
Furthermore, Gowdy said, Podliska has “run to the press with his new salacious allegations” after failing to get money from the committee.

Trying but failing to discredit the worker. The guy confirms what McCarthy blurted out in an interview.
Maybe the conservatives should try lawmaking.
4 men were murdered because of gross incompetence , and then there the cover up…. but there is nothing there lol
4 people were murdered by enemies of the United States. Give credit where credit is due.
yes because of total incompetence
How many committees have already looked into this, this committee has done nothing for the victims or there families there only concern is politics.
They will keep having committees until the 2016 election or until they get the outcome that they want. It is not a search for truth.
the outcome is obvious, Hilly and Obama through gross incompetence and inaction caused the death of 4 Americans
A close friend of ours was a united States ambassador for many years. He has said often that the final decision to remain at an embassy is left to that ambassador. I don’t necessarily agree with that. It seems to me that the State Department should have the final say. But the Benghazi hearings have not been about increasing security or anything of concrete value to ensure these tragedies from happening again.
