House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has rejected the terms of a GOP-created select committee on Benghazi, but Republicans are moving ahead without them.

A top aide to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told the Washington Examiner that the Benghazi Select Committee met today for the first time and plans to move ahead with its investigation, despite the missing Democrats.

"We made a fair offer," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said. "We hope they appoint Democrats. At this point, it's time to get to work."

Pelosi, D-Calif., rejected the panel's terms in letter to Boehner that was in response to GOP proposal about the select panel would operate.

Democrats say they are concerned it will not allow their party to participate fairly in the investigation, which will involve subpoenas and viewing of classified materials related to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.....

It’s a good thing. We don’t need anymore corrupt dems like Cummings trying to hide the truth. There’s a stink bomb about to drop and I bet pretty darn quick given the speed that Boehner moved on this all of the sudden.

Coming next, the MSM will refuse to report on what they will label, “a hyper partisan kangaroo court”. Well, several presstitutes have said essentially that.

That’s why FOX has so many more viewers, people actually like to know what’s going on.

I want this to be a success, but just seeing people and having people talk about it. It just doesn’t seem to me that people fully understand any of it. The news and Democrats have made it such a joke that people are just not taking it seriously. I hope that people change and understand it soon.

Question Is: Who made "Doormat" SotH Johnny "Walker/*HIC!*" Boehner
(himself-GOP/E) do this very unusual act (for him) of showing a backbone.

I'm very wary, I smell a trap.

I’m afraid everyone involved in Benghazi could admit under oath that they knew the attack was coming, that they knew people would die and that they did all they could to cover it up for the 2012 election and not a damned thing will happen to them.
