The B Is Back: The Benghazi Hearings Are Bull****

Instead of demanding a bipartisan Benghazi committee, the Democrats must boycott this farce, whose sole aim is to humiliate Obama and Clinton.

So House Republicans are zeroing in on the particulars of how the Select Committee to Mention the Words Clinton and Benghazi in the Same Sentence for as Long as Possible (I think that’s the official name) is going to work. On Tuesday morning, Nancy Pelosi issued a statement on the question: The panel has to be 50-50 bipartisan, she insisted, and all information must be shared on a bipartisan basis. Then, she seemed to imply, maybe the Democrats would play ball.

News broke Tuesday night that the Republicans were rejecting that and insisting on seven Republicans and five Democrats. Whatever. I don’t care if the Republicans had accepted Pelosi’s conditions and then agreed to bake cookies with the likeness of Franklin Roosevelt on top. There is no way on earth the Democrats should lend this committee the least bit of legitimacy. They absolutely must boycott this absurd, insane, sickening, repulsive, shameful, and at the same time shame-less circus.

Benghazi is and has been for some time a witch hunt that perverts all notions of democratic accountability and that obviously carries one purpose and one purpose only—the humiliation or worse of as many Democrats as possible, preferably the big cheeses (Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton). Ever since Watergate, the Republicans have wanted one of their own, one in which they’re the good guys, forcing a Democratic president to resign in disgrace. They tried it with Bill Clinton, but he just kept getting more and more popular as more and more Americans came to see the Republicans’ coup d’etat, their attempt to criminalize errant but perfectly legal behavior, for what it was—an affair....

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

Funny how someone can be humiliated for doing absolutely nothing and beyond that having absolute proof of doing nothing wrong.
Here Hillary has her chance of exposing her VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY AGAINST HER AND HER HUSBAND which she has once before warned us about,but what does she do,complain,Hillary this is your Golden ticket to the White House,expose the republicans for the fools they are,go for it

[Political Junkie Too]

Of course. It was excused for Bill Clinton, but Scooter Libby was jailed for it. It's SOP for the Obama administration.

The left is scared of what will be uncovered here and they know it.

I have never seen the left so afraid before. They are all screaming daily about how to stop or get out from under this investigation. Delegitimizing the committee seems to be the method chosen, but that will just make them look guilty from the start.

I wonder what it is exactly, that has them so afraid, that its potential discovery has them crapping in their pants?

I hope the bride of the anti-Christ, Hillary Clinton, gets no sleep until the election.

Who was obama boinking while our people were being murdered?

Hearings are a waste of time. Proceed directly to impeachment.

“There is no way on earth the Democrats should lend this committee the least bit of legitimacy”

To lend legitimacy, you have to have legitimacy. So that’s a non-starter for the dems.

Kidding aside, this piece should be read as the template for what we are going to see pumped out on a daily basis from the DNC/NBC/ABC/CNN/MSNBC party for the foreseeable future. Activate bull*** deflectors!

[GSWarrior]

I just want to know why there was a cover up.

[BRL]

It would be a political disaster for the Democrats and a gift to the Republicans if they boycott the Benghazi hearings. Hope they do.

You are correct. They will not boycott this. They cannot boycott this if the committee has any real authority (and it does). They will have their monkeys on the committee throwing turds.

Daily Beast partisan media shill (PMS) Michael Tomasky ping.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

> I don’t care if the Republicans had accepted Pelosi’s conditions and then agreed to bake cookies with the likeness of Franklin Roosevelt on top.

It was nice of the shill to remind everyone of the quintessential Hillary Meme from the previous century — that instead of her making money from stock fraud, her critics wanted her to stay home and bake cookies.

I’m sure he did it by accident.

I don’t care if there isn’t one lousy democrat on the panel. In fact, that would be best. Who needs their obstructionism, grandstanding, and total lack of ethics?
