Trey Gowdy wants Hillary Clinton's email to be the story. But what about his $4 million witch hunt?
Under Trey Gowdy's direction, the House Benghazi Committee has long since turned into a Hillary Clinton digging expedition, seeking anything—however unrelated to Benghazi—that might hurt Clinton's presidential chances. And, according to a new internal poll conducted by Public Policy Polling for Correct the Record, a pro-Clinton group, voters are starting to notice.
This is an internal poll by a pro-Clinton group, and the questions reflect that—
- 54% of voters nationally think the primary motivation of Gowdy’s investigation is politics and hurting Hillary Clinton, compared to only 40% who think it’s actually about getting to the bottom of what happened in Benghazi.
- 62% of voters think that Gowdy should release his e-mails related to the investigation, compared to just 27% who don’t think he should have to. There’s a bipartisan consensus on the need for Gowdy to release his e-mails with majorities of Democrats (70/17), Republicans (58/35), and independents (53/33) all in agreement on the matter.
- Voters see it as a basic fairness issue- only 39% think it’s reasonable for Gowdy to demand Clinton release her e-mails while declining to release his own, compared to 56% who think he’s employing a double standard by his refusal to make his e-mails available.
basically, this lets us know that voters who hear that Gowdy has "refused repeated requests to release his own emails to shed a light on his investigation which has cost taxpayers over $4 million" will respond by saying yes, he should turn over his emails, and that voters who hear that Gowdy has "turned his focus away from what happened in Benghazi to Hillary Clinton’s choice of email practices and has demanded access to all of her emails including personal emails" and is planning to continue his investigation into 2016 will see Gowdy's investigation as partisan.
The fact that voters feel this way given these pieces of information is of limited use if voters never hear it—and the New York Times and Fox News sure aren't putting this in big screaming headlines—but it's a message to Democrats and particularly Clinton supporters that this is a message worth publicizing.

So Hillary has to turn over her emails to witch hunter Gowdy, but Gowdy refuses to turn over his emails to anybody.
