This so called Congress has used their power for political purposes and not governing. Gowdy thinks he is ENTITLED to prosecute OUR employees with impunity. This isn't Kansas or where ever is from.

Major Bradley Podliska, (click here) the Air Force Reserve Officer who blew the whistle on the political aims of the House Benghazi Select Committee, has filed a federal lawsuit against the committee and its chairman, South Carolina Republican Trey Gowdy, claiming Gowdy broke the law when he told NBC news that Major Podliska mishandled classified information. The lawsuit alleges:
"Chairman Gowdy, personally and through his agents, tied these defamatory statements to Podliska’s firing to damage Podliska’s reputation and his ability to seek or secure employment in his chosen field, depriving Podliska of his rights under the Constitution of the United States.”
"This has become a partisan investigation," Major Podliska told CNN's Jake Tapper. "I knew that we needed to get the truth to the victims' families. And the victims' families, they deserve the truth whether or not Hillary Clinton was involved... The victims' families are not going to get the truth and that's the most unfortunate thing about this."...
The Republican Congress is lined with inexperience at the federal governing level. Their bluster and hubris might get them elected back home, but, doesn't and shouldn't play well to the country.
The purpose of the Republican Congress was to use the House and Senate floor for political purposes. That isn't ethical. Attempting to pass bills 50 times or more is waste of taxpayers' money.
The Benghazi Committees have soaked up millions of dollars and came with nothing. Gowdy has a lot riding on this committee he chairs. He has to come through for the party and any government employee, including military personnel, were going to BE MADE to deliver what no other Benghazi Committee could. The entire process used to establish these committees is completely outrageous.
It is about time someone came forward to face down the hideousness of this Republican Congress. It stands to reason it would someone from our military. I congratulate Mayor Podliska.
This sort of activity is nothing short of McCarthyism. We know where that went. Repeated bills on the floor of Congress and repeated committees to find damnable evidence regardless how long and how often it took is extremism and it fly in the face of our democracy and Constitution.
