WASHINGTON — The House Benghazi committee has issued a subpoena to a senior Pentagon official who criticized the GOP-led panel for making costly and unnecessary requests to the Defense Department.
Stephen Hedger, an assistant secretary of defense, will be interviewed under oath next week. Hedger claimed in a letter to the committee that officials could not find one of the requested witnesses — a drone sensor operator who identified himself on talk radio as "John from Iowa" — despite expending "significant resources" to do so.
The committee interviewed the drone operator this week.
Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the Benghazi panel, said Hedger "will now have the opportunity to detail exactly what 'resources' he 'expended' and how."
Rep. Elijah Cummings, the committee's senior Democrat, called the subpoena an "abuse of authority."

That seems reasonable SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL that the US House of Representatives Benghazi committee has issued a subpoena to Stephen Hedger, an assistant secretary of defense who "claimed in a letter to the committee that officials could not find one of the requested witnesses — a drone sensor operator who identified himself on talk radio as "John from Iowa" — despite expending "significant resources" to do so."
In this day and age it seems ludicrous that DoD could not determine who "a drone sensor operator who identified himself on talk radio as "John from Iowa" who was on duty during the incident in Benghazi when ambassador Stevens was killed with three members of his security team.

It would be nice to see the Obama crew and Hillary Rotten Clinton help responsible for their actions, but we all know that money and power will prevail.
