Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), a presumptive 2016 presidential contender, wants the current 2016 presumptive frontrunner Hillary Clinton to be dragged in front of the House's new committee on Benghazi to testify about the attacks.
Paul said Monday that the House select committee on Benghazi should subpoena the former secretary of state to testify as part of its investigation.
"Absolutely," Paul said when asked about a subpoena during an interview Monday with host Eric Bolling on Fox News. "One, we need to know who was responsible and she was in charge. But two, we need to make sure nothing like this ever happens again."
"Some big mistakes were made under Hillary Clinton's watch," he continued. "Somebody needs to ultimately accept responsibility for this."

More wasting of tax dollars so why not have Hillary testify and everyone else testify, in fact lets have nonstop Benghazi until the election seeing that is what the 1% really wants, a side show to distract the masses from their criminal activities with the assistance of Congress, the executive branch and the judicial branch.

(32,863 posts)Really cared about America and an actual scandal he would haul Bushco, the lot of them up for testimony on war crimes in Iraq and the lead up to the war. Seriously, the democrats should boycott this farce of a committee. All the republicans are good for is wasting tax payer dollars on useless and pointless investigations.
