CNN is doing a much better job than MSNBC at

analyzing the first segment of the Benghazi hearings today..

All of the guests are in agreement that the Republicans are getting absolutely nowhere by continuing to focus on the Blumenthal emails... In other words they look absolutely ridiculous framing most of the discussions around his informal emails with Hillary.. About emails? .. when someone continually sends emails to you and they become a pain in the ass? You pass them on just to let the emailer know you actually give a shit... IMO.. this is what Clinton was doing..

In her mind..”Jesus Christ, Stop bothering me Sydney..

Anyway I’m sticking with CNN for the remainder of the afternoon..

Got really interesting at the end of the 1st Round.. Gowdy and Cummings really got into it.. Gowdy sounded nuts..

through official channels.

When this is all over the GOP will have wasted valuable time from tending to the country's business on this witch hunt even is they succeed in what they set out to do...derail HRC's run for the Presidency.

is this committee as well as establishing that this is a political witch hunt, without using those words and with out saying that the republidiots are attempting to brew up a "scandal", which I appreciate.

Hmmmm.... witch? ... brew? ... Halloween is getting closer, indeed.

summarizing the first round of questioning as how the Repubs. did a good job framing Hillary as the one being responsible for our policy in Libya..so in turn she must be responsible for the tragedy..

Screw that.. But of course I’ll take Rachael and L.O’ D always..

But CNN gets a lot more viewers than MSNBC so I wanna see how their handling todays events.. So far thy are o.k. and thats good..

she is saying the Democrats have been impugning Gowdy. and she's never seen anything like it in her life the way the democrats have been smearing this committee? She is one of those "both sides do it" mouthpieces.

I agree, she belongs on faux nooz.

She was tossing around BS talking points and Todd and Williams knocked them down. Interesting dynamic there.
