Fox News: Rep. Gowdy named to lead Benghazi select committeehttp://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...r-announcement-could-come-as-early-as-monday/http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...r-announcement-could-come-as-early-as-monday/

South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor known for his aggressive style of questioning at congressional hearings, has been tapped to lead a select committee tasked with investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks.

House Speaker John Boehner made the announcement Monday afternoon.

"With four of our countrymen killed at the hands of terrorists, the American people want answers, accountability, and justice," he said. "Trey Gowdy is as dogged, focused, and serious-minded as they come."

Boehner said Gowdy's courtroom background makes him the "ideal person" to lead the newly announced investigation.

Gowdy said in a statement he was "honored" to serve as chairman. "While people are free to draw different conclusions from the facts, there should be no debate over whether the American public is entitled to have all of the facts," he said.

And Democrats are already saying their party shouldn't participate in the hearings.

Sounds like somebody with something to hide, to me.
