Benghazzzz: House GOP Says Goodbye To Its Never-Ending Clinton Investigations

The last GOP-led House Oversight hearing of President Trump’s first term will be, fittingly, focused on the Clintons.

As their time in the majority comes to an end, and their parting shot at the Clintons is a subcommittee hearing on the Clinton charity, some House Republicans are frustrated that they haven’t been able to capture their great white whale before they hand over the gavel — and subpoena power — to the Democrats.

"The problem is not the investigation, the problem is we have done nothing with what we have found out,” Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), who once brought an intricate flowchart to a hearing pulling together numerous theories about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, told TPM.

Once Republicans gained full control of the government in 2017, they’ve had to find somewhere other than the Obama administration to point the finger at for their lack of progress. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), a rising star among President Trump’s most devout allies in the House, said Tuesday that “low energy leadership” stopped House Republicans from gaining traction on their investigations in recent years.

The GOP will pursue it 100 years after her death. The GOP will use it as a template of anything trashing the Democratic Party. When it comes to pure hatred of a person, the GOP has that locked.

The new House should determine:
1. Is Insanity Hannity human or android?
2. What scandals are hiding in the closet?
