And one salient fact is that, despite your attempt to blame Clinton for the Benghazi hearings (about which McCarthy was boasting), she provided nothing to assist them.

No doubt the "email issue" will ultimately be formally tied to the Benghazi "scandal" but it hasn't yet. Any drop in her polling related to her server is the result of the media (and social media, thanks to spurious remarks such as yours). Not Congress.
