Democratic strategist Donna Brazile on Sunday lashed out at Republicans on CNNs State of the Union for trying to defend Benghazi investigations even after they had been linked to partisan efforts to destroy Hillary Clintons presidential campaign.
In an interview that aired on Sunday, Major Bradley Podliska told CNNs 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 weve 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.

(34,661 posts)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.

(58,785 posts)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.
