Trey Gowdy Can't Think Of One New Thing They Learned During The Hearings

Poor Trey Gowdy (not really). After 11 hours of grilling Hillary Clinton about Benghazi, he was forced to admit he learned exactly nothing.

The sad part of that statement is that it summarizes just how bad this interminable hearing was for Republicans. Like the Planned Parenthood fiasco, they tried and tried to dig for something that wasn't there and came up with dried cat poop instead.

Some of the reactions from conservatives tell the story:

Some conservatives are even crying and saying the hearings may have even been a help toward Hillary Clinton's chances toward being elected.

minus meals and pee breaks, and not add one piece of pertinent info to their binder?(thanks mittens)

i didnt watch...but i was thinking about this earlier. even if everyone there made a speech and they allowed lots of time for breaks, what could they possibly do with all that extra time?

was there some serious nose picking going on?

...often irrelevant questions. I don't think I could do that for 11 hours on any topic before my brain just stopped working. Or else I'd just lose my cool, angrily call someone on their idiocy, and make myself look bad.
