(CNN) – House Republicans have decided the select committee to investigate the Benghazi terror attack will include seven Republicans and five Democrats, according to two senior House GOP leadership aides.

The House is expected to vote on the legislation establishing the panel later this week.

Earlier Tuesday, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi demanded it be evenly split between Republicans and Democrats.

Now that the committee's structure has been decided, it's unclear whether Democrats will participate.

Well, with maxipad Waters and Sheila Jackson Fleas on the panel, the questioning from democrips should not make it up to the retarded level. BTW, has anyone explained for Jackson Fleas where the Astronauts planted the flag ON THE MOON? Has Maxipads gotten herself a better script writer for her reading sessions at the hearings? Alcee should provide excellent bombast, and Jerrod biapass Nadler can obfuscate for effect at every opportunity. (I wonder how many pounds of sagging flesh old Jerrod has had removed since his gastric bypass? Could make another human with it all I’d bet.)

".....Boehner will pick a bunch of whimpy milquetoasts".

I imagine Trey will pretty much pick who he wants for the GOP side...and Boehner can go pound sand.

At least give Trey a shot before we all just surrender. Our fire fathers just didn’t give up before the first shot was fired,

If only Boehner would appoint someone along the lines of Dick Cheney as Special Prosecutor.......even Judge Jeanine Pirro.....

Only the AG can appoint a Special Prosecutor.

I hope that Trey, as Chairman, is the one selecting who will sit on the Select Committee, instead of Boehner. Trey would ignore the squishes and go for the alley fighters.

You’re most welcome, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it.

And thank you for not hot-linking.

I hope they do not participate.... but I gaurantee you they will participate becauae the committee will have actual authority so the democrats will have to have their own there to throw sand into the gears
