Under Secretary Kennedy made this statement at the House Foreign Affairs Committee meeting today: The Department has demonstrated an unprecedented degree of cooperation and engagement with the Congress on these issues, especially following the attack in Benghazi. To date, the Department has provided to the Congress the classified ARB report and more than 25,000 pages of documents. Secretary Kerry, testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in April, also pledged coordination with the Benghazi investigation when he stated: I'm determined that this will be as accountable and open State Department as it has been in the past and we will continue to provide answers. So the question I have for each of them is this: Why do I have to hold in my hands a handwritten transcript of an email? Why is it that congressional investigators must hand-copy them under supervision from the other side, so to speak? Why can't we get the documents and copy themselves? Why must we subpoena everything? And why are they not in compliance with any of the subpoenas? ____________________
