I object, Mr. Chair ...

This asshole, Roskem, entire line of questioning regarding whether her press secretary was attempting to give HRC credit for the fall, is completely non-probative, of what happened at Benghazi ... the purported purpose of this kangaroo court.

Their own party leader...er...ex leader called this entire operation a farce and political witchhunt, LIVE on TV!! You cannot walk back that kind of damage. So now they are playing, "ask 1000 questions" in hopes of digging up something completely unknown. Which really means they are working on new lies and events that never took place.

If the Chair's (supposedly) second goal of THIS inquiry was to show that the Committee is performing a valuable and non-partisan service ... he is failing miserably.

Ya know ... If this former prosecutor had the least bit of self-awareness ... he would terminate the hearing, resign from Congress, give away all of his possession, and spend the rest of his days, wondering the Earth looking for cats to get out of trees.

She was able to call him out on the political b.s., but as I was listening to his description of the release he made it sound as if it was a Hillary promotion. She countered that the text included praise for all parties. She should have made him read it or read it herself. She got the point, but she could have knocked his ass out.
