Late yesterday House Speaker John Boehner announced the new Benghazi select committee will include seven Republicans and five Democrats. Because Republicans are the majority party in the House, they have also been appointed the majority on the committee.
Before the partisan count was announced, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi demanded the committee be split evenly between Republicans and Democrats, despite giving very little attention to Republicans during her time as Speaker in the majority. Now, even after being denied the same number of seats as Republicans on the panel because Democrats are in the minority, Pelosi is again asking for more Democrat power on the committee.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 House Democrat, sent a letter to Speaker John Boehner late Tuesday urging him to reconsider plans to put seven Republicans and five Democrats on the panel. The House is expected to vote Thursday on the resolution establishing the committee, over Democratic objections.
"Another partisan review that serves only to politicize these attacks is disrespectful and unworthy of the American people," Pelosi and Hoyer wrote.
Lets not forget that Democrats (acting like adults as usual) have already threatened not to participate in the Benghazi investigation at all. If they do decide to participate, you can expect to see Democrats enter hearings with a well thought out plan not to ask questions of witnesses, but to attack the credibility of Rep. Trey Gowdy leading the investigation.
As we move forward, expect Democrats to protest nearly every part of this process in an effort to draw out the investigation to a point where bipartisan bickering turns everyone, including the public wanting more answers about Benghazi, off.
What if Boehner caves & gives Pelosi what she wants? Won’t be the first time.
“If it’s stupid & it works, it ain’t stupid”
Of course. And also, we have that California REPUBLICAN, who rags on General Lovitz with regularity and who may appear on the Select Committee, carrying Marxist water.
Hey, it works for Putin too. Putin and Pelosi! College-Try all over the place.
Which was an Alinsky tactic taught to Bill by his wife who was an ardent student of Alinsky,who wrote her college thesis on Alinsky and was even offered a job by Alinsky. Unexpected? Nah!
Time for the GOP to load up the Democrat seats on the panel with Democrats congressmen from the most conservative districts they can find.
The GOP is so poor at playing the game.
When do democrats not cheat?
Payback’s a beach.
So then, to avoid that, they're saying they WILL sit it out?
LMAO!!!!!!!
I haven’t enjoyed watching heads explode more since I last watched “Scanners”.
“Sorry for the lipstick on your Botox.”
“Time for the GOP to load up the Democrat seats on the panel with Democrats congressmen from the most conservative districts they can find.”

Senate GOP: We want in on probe (Benghazi)
Not surprising. I like that they put democrats scared of losing in 2014 on this panel. That may keep them (a bit) more honest.
The democrat party is a criminal organization cleverly disguised as a political party.
My problem is the American people for the most part are so blinded with toys that they are vaccinated against seeing the truth. The communists machine for years created a dream world they live in and by name we call them Democrats. We cannot afford the years it will take, even if patriots are in control, to reverse the damage this communists empire have thrown us in.
Don't believe me LOOK AROUND YOU!
“You have to pass it to see what is in it”.
Paybacks are a bitch, Pelosi.
Pelosi is again asking for more Democrat power on the committee.
Democrat power is how the mess got started spooky old Nancy has no cells left.
