[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of you seem to have forgotten, or may have never known, that one of the roles of Congress is to conduct oversight of the executive branch:

[quote]Through legislative debate and compromise, the U.S. Congress makes laws that influence our daily lives. It holds hearings to inform the legislative process, conducts investigations to oversee the executive branch, and serves as the voice of the people and the states in the federal government.[/quote]

So, in other words, IT IS THEIR JOB!
Of course, their job could be more easily accomplished if the parties involved in this particular investigation cooperated a bit better and provided the documents subpoenaed by the investigating committee.  [/quote]

Hillary has repeatedly offered to appear before them personally and testify.  It's Gowdy's panel that's refused that.  And meanwhile, there already have been hundreds of hearings, thousands and thousands of documents reviewed, dozens  of independent investigations and to date NONE of them support the core allegations made by Gowdy's panel.[/quote]

Why would they interview her before they have all the evidence that they have requested and not received?  They have waited to get the copies of her emails around the time of Benghazi, but have not received them.  Since she has agreed only to appear once, they are waiting until they have all the emails (at least those she didn’t destroy).  
I don’t blame them for waiting.  And, I can see why Hillary might want to testify sooner rather than later.  [/quote]

She already appeared before the committee, a long time ago.  This isn't about her emails.  [/quote]
