Who is Brad Podliska, the ousted staffer now criticizing the House Benghazi panel?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The House Select Committee on Benghazi is entering a new phase of controversy thanks to criticism from a former staffer over the weekend.

That staffer, Bradley Podliska, accused the panel of evolving into a politically motivated investigation into Hillary Clinton and her aides as opposed to a neutral probe of the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya. Podliska, who was fired by the committee, plans to file a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination. He claims he was dismissed in part because of his obligations as an Air Force Reserve major, a move his lawyers say was illegal, and in part because of objected to targeting Clinton. (The committee dismissed the allegations, saying Podliska was fired for cause: poor performance and a lack of judgment.)

Despite being a Republican he seems like a nice and smart fella.

2. It seems like he would make a good B I L

There is one public source of insight into Podliska’s temperament and personality: in 2011, he participated in the Post’s Date Lab feature, where strangers are set up on blind dates and share their feelings about the experience with readers.

“I’m extremely driven — I’m an academic, an Air Force officer, I work out five times a week, all in addition to holding a full-time job,” he told the Post at the time. Asked to brag a bit, he said: “I’m smart: I wrote a book. I’m not boring: I’ve been sky diving. And most importantly for the women out there: I listen.”

3. When an honorable man with an honorable reputation decides to speak the truth...stuff happens.

Freedom of speech as it was intended to be, versus freedom of speech to lie, cheat, deceive and incite hatred, as it should never be allowed to be.

4. His allegations have been vetted by the Times.

5. No surprise that they would go after their accuser with vague accusations. However, with the

revelations of Kevin McCarthy, and the only focus of this so-called comittee was exclusively on Hillary for months, only substantiate Podiska's allegations regarding this committee
