Me thinks Boehner is setting this up, partially to allay those of us that want heads to roll over Benghazi, and partly to set up Trey. If it fails, Trey goes down, Boehner goes on. If it's successful, Trey is where he is right now, Boehner goes on. This is the buffer to protect Boehner. Win/win Boehner.
You nailed it! Boehner can still give away the store, & he’s done it before.
