Donna Brazile single-handedly shut down CNN’s Benghazi panel: ‘This has been a partisan witch hunt’

Democratic strategist Donna Brazile on Sunday lashed out at Republicans on CNN’s State of the Union for trying to defend Benghazi investigations even after they had been linked to partisan efforts to destroy Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

In an interview that aired on Sunday, Major Bradley Podliska told CNN’s Jake Tapper that Republicans on the House Select Committee on Benghazi fired him because he was more interested in getting to the truth behind the Benghazi attack than he was in using the committee to smear Clinton.

After former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli told a CNN panel that the Benghazi committee was important because “Americans have real questions,” Brazile interrupted.


“Let me stop you,” she said. “Because we’ve had eight investigative hearings. The State Department has spent $14 million responding to congressional requests. We know the defense department has spent an insurmountable amount of man and women hours. If Mr. (Trey] Gowdy and his Select Committee was interested in getting to the truth, they would have brought witnesses throughout the year to talk to intelligence, to talk to defense, to talk to the State Department.”

“This has been a partisan witch hunt,” Brazile continued. “What are they investigating now? Where are the public hearings? $4.6 million of taxpayers’ money.”

you came from the so called Journalism School of bias Reporting. Love it when some one corrects the so called M$M's go to Propagandist's,because the so called Moderator is to biased to interject a qualifying or objective question or statement.

MSM wants and are doing every possible propaganda message to make a Hillary-Jebby General Election. Amazing how the D.C.Pundtocracy works. False Narratives and false equivalencies. People never read the whole story and in that lays the misinformed Public.

I was wondering though . . . why the heck would anyone put the Cooch on the air as a commentator? He barely escaped an indictment and a cell adjoining Gov. Ultrasound.

has anyone mentioned that THIS is #8 of the GOP's critically important attempts to "get at the truth." I think we can safely assume Donna does not belong to Washington's incestuous insiders group of politicians, journalists, and government functionaries.
