The underlying problem: Obama and his administration are acting like they have something to hide and acting guilty about the whole thing. It's a simple matter of full disclosure and they just can't seem to do it. If they did, the Benghazi hearings would have been over last year! But because everyone is staying tight-lipped and because nobody seems to have known anything about anything on that day, of course the GOP is going to keep digging. They're smelling fear and blood in the water. The Dems would do the same if positions were reversed and any idiot knows that. Odds are, they'd be even more driven to uncover the "scandal."

Only thing dragging this thing out is the administration acting like they've got something to hide and refusing to tell America exactly what happened that day.

What did Gibson testify to? Hearsay is useless in legal proceedings.

There's just one huge flaw in your theory. This happened many times under Bush yet I don't recall one instance of Dems acting the way Republicans are now.

Did the Republicans lie about why it happened with such a lame lie?

The GOP found nothing in their months of hearings. What a waste of taxpayer dollars to continue this political witch hunt!

Got anything from a state website that lists Benghazi as a consulate?
