Is it better for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if Democrats boycott or participate in the new House investigation of the Benghazi attacks?

That question is central to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s decision whether to appoint Democratic members to the House select committee.

Will Hillary benefit? Clearly the Dems have calculated the risk/reward of hindering the process from inside the committee, versus boycotting it and criticizing it from the outside as a total GOP witch hunt. We’ll see...

Block and Stop Cummings will try his best to have Nothing happen

criticizing it from the outside as a total GOP witch hunt...

Well, then it will be the 'Rats associating the appropriate word "witch" with Hillary! in that case.

[Logical me]

With the strength of the communists Democratic empire the committee was doomed from the beginning. Bonehead will make sure that the House will do nothing to support the committee.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Will Smith, Doherty, Stephens and Woods benefit?
Crickets.

“That question is central to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s decision whether to appoint Democratic members to the House select committee.”

So even ABCNews believes Pelosi cares nothing about substance and foreign policy, just political benefits. These people have absolutely no shame.

Will Hillary Clinton Benefit From Democrats On Benghazi Committee?

Not if Gowdy doesn't let them play 52 Race-Card Pickup. It's pretty obvious, the dems are going back to the old race card playbook to help obfuscate the hearings. Personally, I think it is a sign of desperation on the dems part.

The last hearing I watched with Hillary as the recipient of the Dem acolades, is there anything more they can add?

Probably.........At least there's a pit bull in charge now.......Go Trey!

[BilLies]

I don’t remember, did the Obama Regime call Benghazi WORK PLACE VIOLENCE like they did FORT HOOD?

[dandiegirl]

I can't believe that crooked bastard Cummings is on the committee. He was in cahoots with Lois Lerner in targeting citizens by the IRS. Isn't this illegal or at best an abuse of power. Why isn't he being questioned about this.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The ‘RATS warned us that these hearings were going to be a circus. They guaranteed it today by putting their chief retard, Kawliga Cummings, in charge of the ‘RAT liberal clowns on the committee. The ‘RATS need to make sure that the truth about Benghazi never sees the light of day.

[VRWCarea51]

Cummings is gonna stroke out when Gowdy rules him out of order or cites him for unethical behavior or impeding a investigation.

Gowdy Isn’t Issa.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

I just wish they would make a rule that the “interrogators” could only speak for 1 minute. Ask a question ... LISTEN for the answer. Instead, we’ll get Cummings et all spouting off for hours about the unfairness of the process.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

I think Clinton, massively defeated, in-law Margorie Margolies (lies) should have been assigned to the Benghazi Select Committee. Clinton and Obama lied and American public srvants died!!!

[dalereed]

The only benifit she deserves is a prison cell for treason!

******************************
From what I’ve read and seen on TV, it seems Gowdy is planning on taking depositions under oath rather than the five minute questioning/blathering by each committee member. Hopefully, that will eliminate the constant stalling by Cummings.

The reason the RATs are there is to obstruct and obfuscate.
