Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced on Wednesday that she will appoint the full complement of five Democrats on the 12-member panel, tapping lawmakers who have been deeply involved in previous congressional investigations of the Sept. 11, 2012 assault on the U.S. diplomatic outpost.
Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, died in the attack when militants stormed the mission. Republicans have accused the Obama administration of misleading Americans about a terror attack weeks before the election.
"I believe we need someone in that room to simply defend the truth," Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Oversight panel, told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference.

this man is an embarrassment to the State. The mental midget will do nothing but try to obstruct the facts. He is under investigation for the IRS and should not be allowed to partake in any committees until he is either cleared or charged.
9:41... Ditto!
9:41 - both he and Pelosi are wasting oxygen!
I'm a life time resident of Md. I wish they wouldn't say where he is from, it's embarrassing. But most politician with Md. behind their name are also. Wish we could do better.
10:48. No all liberals and Democrats are wasting oxygen.
I smell a Clinton trap that the Republicans in congress are playing right into.
The man has already been caught lying about the IRS because he was involved in illegally asking for information. He needs to be removed from office. I agree that he is a total embarrassment to MD. At least put 5 honorable Democrats on the committee. I realize that will be difficult, but there has to be someone better than this jack@$$.
10:48 - I stand corrected.....!

Can you honestly name one (1) honorable Democrat?
I can't!!
X2 what 11:10 said
11:52 - 5 honorable...?! Dream on!
as another poster said, you won't come by one.....
"I believe we need someone in that room to simply defend the truth..."
Yeah, right, and you're going to be the one? I can hardly wait to hear.
does anybody remember that Elijah Cummings was honored by the Worcester County Democrats last year at the Atlantic Hotel? quite the role model, he is. speaking of truth - exactly where was the President that night??
That's like getting a fox to watch over a chicken coop. map
Cummings and the other Socialists are there to inhibit the process not participate in it.
Thank you. 8:38, you hit the nail on the head, and you can rest assured that the remainder of the crew do NOT include anyone who has EVER sided with Republicans on ANYTHING!
wonder how many republicans are on this committee.
