Pelosi Open To Appointing Democrats To Benghazi Committee | The Daily Caller: Some liberals are pushing for no Democrats to serve on the new select committee on Benghazi — but House minority leader Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday she is open to appointing Democrats to the panel.
“If this review is to be fair, it must be truly bipartisan,” Pelosi said in a statement. “The panel should be equally divided between Democrats and Republicans as is done on the House Ethics Committee. It should require that witnesses are called and interviewed, subpoenas are issued, and information is shared on a bipartisan basis. Only then could it be fair.”
Boehner, who has appointed Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy to serve as chairman, is not expected to appoint as many Democrats as Republicans on the committee. In response to Pelosi’s statement Tuesday, his office pointed out that in 2007, Pelosi thought a 9-6 ratio of Democrats and Republicans was “fair” when she established a Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.
