I see no one has touched this with a ten foot pole.

Legal or not this entire episode was an unethical scam that was going to pass without consequence for the lying administration. The fact that an attack on the anniversary of 911 was a surprise to the state dept and obama points to colossal failure on their part.

Too bad the media propaganda machine became obama's lap dog, it would have eliminated the need for the benghazi hearings by challenging the lies of the obama administration.
So telling everyone it was about a video is MUCH MORE important than the 4500 Bush killed in Iraq.

Yes, indeed.

We know a witch hunt when we see one.

Easy - because Congress was in on it.

Nope, they are not all witch hunts. Some are completely legit scandals, yet this administration is great at stonewalling and placing blame elsewhere. Come on, even the media has complained about that.

As liberals are totalitarian in nature, they can never accept that the rule of law applies to all citizens and that elitists are not above the law.
How about the scandal of the Republicans using the House to run bogus "investigations" on their political opponents for the sole purpose of smearing them politically? You were all up in arms when you thought the IRS was targeting right wing organizations, but you don't seem to have a problem with Republicans mis-using their majority in the House to target Democrats.

No....he didn't.

What he said was that if not for his committee, the lies put forward by barry, Hillary and rice would have gone unnoticed.

The side effect was that more people were made aware of her sleezy side.

The Benghazi hearings have exceeded the Warren Commission, Watergate and Iran Contra, there was no doubt it was politically motivated.

I believe you missed the point, and are making things up to fit your wishes, he said and meant no such thing.

This man has no business being speaker of the house and third in line to be president. He doesn't sound qualified to me. If you are going to get a different speaker of the house, at least improve the position with the next speaker. I disagreed with every other sentence I heard him say plus he was elected by a district that is 35% Hispanic and we all know what that means. Haven't the Republicans learned anything? I fear not. I am about to change my registration to unaffiliated. I am disgusted with both parties. Maybe it is time for a Tea Party that is serious about being American.

Yeah, they need NINE investigations only because the first EIGHT didn't yield anything. Give me a break. These are ongoing for one reason and one reason only, and Kevin McCarthy inadvertently told us exactly what that reason is. Not that most of us with two brain cells to rub together didn't already know it. Not everyone is as ignorant of the obvious as the right would wish.

You missed the point. The White House and Hillary lied multiple times.

It was a video - LIE
We don't know of any gun running - LIE
There was gun running but we weren't involved - LIE

Nice to see McCarthy carrying on the tradition of being an idiot. He actually used the word "untrustable."
