Via Weekly Standard:
House Speaker John Boehner is “seriously considering” appointing a select committee to investigate the attacks on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, according to a senior GOP leadership aide. The move comes after the revelation of an email from a top Obama national security official, Ben Rhodes, instructing Susan Rice to focus on an anti-Muslim internet video to explain the attacks.
The new emails this week were the straw that broke the camel’s back,” says the aide. “The Speaker was furious to learn that the admininstration withheld relevant documents from a congressional subpoena. He’s sick and tired of this evasion and obstruction from the administration, and wants a solution to finally force accountability, get to the truth, and provide justice.”
Boehner, who has paid careful attention to the Benghazi developments since the attacks, has resisted calls to appoint a select committee, preferring to allow the various committees of jurisdiction to pursue investigations of their slices of the attacks on their own. Aides say Boehner continues to believe that the work of those committees has been valuable. “The current committees investigating the attack have done good work, using their authority, including subpoena authority, to gather facts, interview hundreds of witnesses, and conduct dozens of hearings. But this week’s events demonstrate a new level of stonewalling and obfuscation by the administration that requires a new level of investigation.”
I take credit for this. I sent Boner an email just 2 days ago demanding he appoint a select committee. You don't have to thank me but you should.
This is from a different report: A senior Republican aide says the speaker may choose Republican congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina to chair the select committee. I wonder if Boner will appoint Gowdy (please, God), or will somehow stack the committee so that he can continue his protection of Obama.

Great work. You get a silver star. Now your next job is to send Boner and email calling for him to start the impeachment of Zero and force his resignation. That will get you a gold star and a bottle of 30 year old scotch.
