But I would have thought they would have saved this crap until 2016.
That's a long time away.
It seems to me the original Benghazi outrage was trumped up to hurt Obama.
It didn't work, but they have this committee and all, and hate to waste it.
Plus they are desperately lusting after the opportunity to get Clinton and/or Obama to sit down for questioning.
Maybe hoping to call someone a liar, or whatever, get some sound bites and photo ops and youtube events for their own next elections.
