“To the Trey Gowdy part of the equation, there is a danger here for Republicans which is a frequent danger, that of overplaying their hand,” she said. “The fact that Trey Gowdy has said before Secretary Clinton’s testimony has even begun that he may need to talk to her twice, is he at risk of overstepping here?”

The question concerned Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican heading up the House Benghazi select committee, and his desire to see all of Clinton’s State emails, particularly those regarding the deadly 2012 terrorist attack.
