"Whatever their original purpose, the Select Committees leaders appear no longer to have any interest in Benghazi, except as the tragic events of that day may be used as a cudgel against the likely Democratic nominee for president.
The committee is solely concerned with damaging her candidacy, searching for something, anything, that can be insinuated against her. With all of the committees obsessive focus on Mrs. Clinton, you would think that she was a witness to the killings, instead of half a world away.
Some of my colleagues think this is just good politics. And already, other ambitious committee leaders are hoping to get in on the act with their own inquiries and attacks on Mrs. Clinton. This is a terrible mistake, and it would be no less offensive if it were a Democratic majority going after a Republican candidate. Do we really want to see future select committees ginned up to attack other likely presidential nominees?
A committee that cannot tell the American people what it is looking for after 16 months should be shut down. Otherwise, Benghazi will come to be remembered not for the tragedy that claimed four American lives, but for the terrible abuse of process that now bears its name. ..."

(30,058 posts)They would have long ago turned their attention to the cuts of funding in the state department. If this committee was interested in the truth they would have listened to the military guy telling them there was no way in hell to get assistance in the air and to the location. This bunch of yahoos has never been interested in preventing the next Benghazi.
