Carter's complaint sounds suspiciously like the organized talking points of congressional Democrats, however, and Gowdy was having none of it. In a letter, Gowdy responded by citing DoD's quick turnaround on another investigation:

"By contrast, the Department was able to complete the recently released review of the bombing of a civilian medical facility in Kunduz, Afghanistan within two months.

Once Trump is in, it will be time to go after these criminals.
Obstruction of justice.
