NYT-Shut Down the Benghazi Committee
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD OCT. 7, 2015
House Republicans may be disinclined to disband the Select Committee on Benghazi with the presidential race heating up. But at the very least they should rename their laughable crusade, which has cost taxpayers $4.6 million, the Inquisition of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, a leading candidate to become the next speaker of the House, acknowledged last week that was the point of burrowing into the details of the 2012 attacks on government facilities in eastern Libya that killed the American ambassador and three colleagues.
Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? Mr. McCarthy said in an astonishing moment of candor that was clearly a gaffe, rather than a principled admission. But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today?"
