GOP Leader Booed While Defending Benghazi Committee

somewhere

The email fishing expedition is the product of this "investigation."

People need to be booing these rotten criminals! The GOP is going to have to cheat real hard next year imo. They have pissed of everyone, but a tiny slice of America and that part doesn't vote half the time.

Keep it up GOPukes! I LOVE it when you fuck yourselves over!



And they will keep doing it, because ego and stupidity are the worst kind of mix.

at cheating. It seems that is the only thing they know how to do.

Right on!

And it would be true.

Shame the GOP back to sanity and out of office.

The first 8 investigations haven't answered all the questions yet?

.... my own thought is that maybe Benghazi was a "false flag"
operation designed to hurt President Obama and or Hillary Clinton. I really
would put nothing past those jerks. The bottom line is that "they" are really
un-American and see going after the other side as their job.

Hell, Lindsey Graham and Lara Logan made up a phony story about Benghazi
and ran it on 60 minutes and Graham is still in the senate and Logan is back
on 60 minutes.

You've linked to a running tally of the Gowdy committee's expenditures -- now past $4.6 million and climbing. It's clever that they update it second-by-second by extrapolating from last month's spending.

But note this caveat underneath:



I guess adding all that up would be quite a job.

On June 16th, the Benghazi Select Committee, meeting behind closed doors, questioned Hillary Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal for nine hours about emails he sent to the then-Secretary of State containing privately gathered intelligence reports from inside Libya.

The release of new emails from Mr. Blumenthal marked a milestone for the committee, characterized committee chairman, Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, as “noteworthy,” because no Congressional committee that “has previously looked into Benghazi or Libya has uncovered these memos.”

Yet there was no explanation as to how these emails contained any new insights or information about the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound and CIA base in Benghazi, Libya that resulted in the murders of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, and CIA contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

Mr. Blumenthal himself noted “my testimony has shed no light on the events of Benghazi—nor could it—because I have no firsthand knowledge.”

While exact dollar amounts spent by federal agencies are unavailable, details released about other declassification processes shed light on these costs. In March 2014 the Defense Department informed Democratic Rep. Adam Smith, they had spent “millions of dollars” and “thousands of man-hours to responding to numerous and often repetitive Congressional requests regarding Benghazi.” Currently the State Department has 12 full-time staff members paid between $63,700 and $150,000 reviewing Hillary Clinton’s emails “a process that could cost more than $1 million” according to the National Journal. The total cost for these document queries could run well into the eight figures. For example, the IRS spent $14 million responding to Congressional investigations into accusations it politicized the tax-exemption application process.

In May of 2014 it was reported that Republicans worried that if they created a Benghazi Select Committee it would fail to produce tangible results. “Investigate and find nothing new, and the committee looks like a bunch of tin-hatted obsessives,” wrote Eli Lake. One House member told Lake, “This could be a rabbit hole.”

It has turned out to be an extremely deep one.

What has 8 other investigations not uncovered....

.... and that is what "they" wanted.

the benghazi after action report ..... should have answered all questions and it was chaired by a republican too.

...Hillary had Vince Foster murdered to cover up the changing of the Benghazi talking points.




(And if you need a sarcasm smiley for this, you just might be a Republican)

if that true, then you're incompetent in addition to being a political hack.

the same district that once elected Democrat Tom Foley who went on to be Speaker of the House.

Nethercutt was a teabagger before teabaggers were invented. He was part of Newt Gingrich's Overthrow of the Government, and he was fucking hideous.

How could I forget about good ol' "I'm for term limits" then once he got in forgot all about term limits? He was a douche.

With this crowd of Repukes, they were probably booing the questioner.

I mean, after all, this is the party whose supporters booed a Bronze Star, Purple Heart earning Marine, just because he asked about Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and gave a hearty, full-throated "LET HIM DIE" primal scream when asked about a man with no health insurance.

The Democrats on the 'Benghazi Committee' need to boycott the meetings. They need to call it what it is, bullshit.

Palling around with those neolithic simpletons! Ha Ha!!!

They never govern in a way that benefits the majority of the American people. They only do what is good for themselves.

Thanks and welcome to DU!

wanted to lower Clinton poll numbers. He was right on, but now he denies it. Republicans back down daily on mis speaking the truth to this nation.

Too bad we can't sue them for the money they've stolen from taxpayers for these debacles.

news at DU. I just hope some of the "moderates/independents wake the hell up about ALL the freaking lies the GOP passes of as Gospel!

Not a Hillary supporter, but seriously? All parties have been more than forthcoming. What are they going to uncover?

IF you're a member of the RNC frantically looking for a way to justify their actions at a moment when the whole country has just been treated to an admission that they were a sham from the beginning.

other than that, they have been the waste of time we said they would be before they even got started.

They found it. Even some Democrats have been buying into their narrative. It needs to end NOW.

Its true purpose was obvious way before McCarthy blurted it out.

Both Republicans AND Democrats who buy into the narrative do it for obvious reasons, and they have nothing to do with an incident in North Africa.

I have seen her do a few interviews.

Seems like she is dumb as a dog turd.

Can't even remember her memorized talking points.

I have seen the deer in the headlights look and not much more.

There are great people in Spokane, and the surrounding area.

They deserve a rep with an iq higher than a rock.

From his past:

'One of Karl's early media appearance was on C-Span2 on July 15, 1993 where he criticized Congress's deficit reduction plan as "myth", comparing Clinton's tax raise to King George's revenue on American Colonists as "heavy burden at the feet of the unrepresented." '

He's been a Reagan supply-sider his whole career. Clinton had balanced the budget and these Repukes become unhinged. He seemed so sensitive and offended by the minor catcalls but then again he's just providing cover for the latest RW smear campaign. ABC news is where Chris Wallace came from. Trained at ABC, promoted to Fux News.

ABC is full of right-wing producers and writers. It's Karl's spiritual home.

"Respect our guest." Why? "Our guest" doesn't respect our intelligence!
