Benghazi Committee Goes Off the Rails

"The explanation is ugly, but increasingly obvious. The Associated Press reported this week that the GOP-led panel 'has devolved from an investigation into the deaths of four Americans in Libya into a political fight over Hillary Rodham Clinton’s emails and private computer server – a battle that is likely to stretch into the 2016 presidential election year.'"

Havent seen the cost of Benghazi yet but it would have been better spent money to apply to infrastructure updating.

This was the plan from the moment those poor people lost their lives. Remember Romney walking into his quickly held press conference to blame Obama for their deaths?Romney couldn't keep the smile from his face.The minute Obama won in 2008,they pivoted to blaming Hillary,knowing she would run in 2016.They are cynical opportunists, they don't care about dead Americans,the bottom line for them is always take any chance to shoot down democrats.

And I would have never believed such a thing was possible. Issa is really just batshit crazy. Gowdy is craven and unscrupulous to the bone.

has been an argument for maintaining Democratic majorities in Congress. So, it was argued even horrible Blue Dogs and DINOs had this as a political party value.

What do we have now? The Republican base eats this crap up; Democrats seem to be disinterested with it, especially related to any Clinton.

After what those Blue Dogs and DINOs did to the Affordable Care Act and other legislation as the majority party, that argument holds no water for me anymore. I'll take a Democratic minority any day over a fake majority. Lesson learned!

People are even less interested in them than Benghazi! Hard to believe they can't find something more scintillating than thousands of boring emails! Foxnews should be kissing The Donald's ass because they have to be losing ratings covering Hillary's non-scandals!
