Brazile: The Right Wing’s email fairy tale

"SNIP..............



There is no fire here, folks. There’s no smoke, either. There’s only a set of cold, scandal-free, hard facts, which are being abused by a taxpayer-funded Republican joyride and being ignored by reporters who should know better.

It’s been well over 470 days since the authorization of the Select Committee on Benghazi. According to House sources, that “now surpasses the length of time of the Church Committee (which investigated overseas intelligence activities in the wake of Watergate). The select committee has already lasted longer than numerous other investigations, including the investigations of Hurricane Katrina, the attack on Pearl Harbor, the assassination of President Kennedy and Iran-Contra.” That’s amazing.

“House Republicans established the Select Committee on Benghazi more than a year and three months ago with a blank check, no time limits and no rules, and they have now spent more than $4 million in taxpayer funds,” said the committee’s ranking Democratic member, Elijah Cummings. “This investigation is not about learning pertinent facts about Benghazi or improving the security of our embassies. It is about spending taxpayer funds on political attacks against Secretary Clinton.”

Clinton, rightly, is focused on the issues that actually matter to the American people. The people of Iowa and New Hampshire aren’t asking Hillary Clinton about her emails. They’re asking her about how she’ll grow the middle class and make college affordable again, how she’ll curb the rising tide of climate change and continue to rebuild America’s reputation around the world. She’s answering these questions, and the people are listening. Is the media?

1. I hope people of Iowa and New Hampshire are asking about the TPP, Keystone, and the Death Penalty...

Growing the middle class, affordable college, and climate change are pretty softball questions to a Democrat.

We need to be asking the hard questions, and of all the candidates, not just Hillary.

2. I would hope the people of Iowa and New Hampshire knows the TPP will be resolved during the Obama

Administration. I would hope they also know trade is a responsibility of the president, this position does not allow pick and choose responsibilities.

10. I hope they ask her about

Monsanto and the big Agra business that has been helping destroy family farms since the 80s. Destruction of the water tables by agratoxins.

Donna Brazile speaks clearly and this was a good article.

4. Rep. Trey Gowdy=he is leading a one-man, partisan show trial of harassment against Hillary.

Yes, harassment is the right word!


.............If you look up “kangaroo court” in the dictionary, you’ll find a big old picture of Rep. Trey Gowdy. Why? Because he is leading a one-man, partisan show trial of harassment against Hillary Clinton. It’s high time someone called him out for it.


Gowdy is the chairman of the so-called House Select Committee on Benghazi – a committee tasked explicitly with investigating the 2012 tragedy in the Libyan city of Benghazi. This is not the first time Benghazi has been investigated. There have been seven different investigations and they have not found a scrap of evidence of any wrongdoing by Clinton, as alleged by Republicans. They have issued nine reports in total (if you’re interested in reviewing the reports, visit democrats.benghazi.house.gov/previous-investigations/previous-reports.)

But last year, House Speaker John Boehner gave Gowdy an unlimited budget of taxpayer dollars to give it another shot...........

The whole thing is bullshit, and the fact that it's cost us 4,000,000.00+ is rediculous.
