Eating a box of popcorn, laughing appropriately, and occasionally heckling with the truth

That's how the Democrats should participate in the Benghazi hearings.
Gotta be there to name check the facts every now and then.
But sit back and enjoy the show of the GOP hanging themselves.

The investigation will reveal what exactly?

It was a warzone, there was a crowd, the embassy was overwhelmed, there was a fire and unfortunately Americans died. Everyone knows that, it was widely reported ...End of investigation. Bengazi ...Camp Chapman ...Beirut ...attacks happen.

I do not get what they are looking for but hey if they want to waste time on this, let them.

...better things to use that money for. But like I said, I know nothing of what the whole thing -- both the 'legit' and the accused 'conspiracy' -- is about. Except for an Embassy. And judging from your post, an embassy attack? Meh. I -really- don't care. Just don't waste good money on silliness.

The embassy is in Tripoli. There would probably be less security at the consulate. But the two are about four hundred miles apart.

That there is suspicion. And unless every conceivable question can be answered the possibility of a coverup cannot be ruled out!

So, if only the Obama administration had told the truth about the "al Qaeda terrorist attack" on Benghazi, instead of doing nothing, then instructing Susan Rice to lie about it, Romney would have won in a landslide, instead of getting stomped out by 5,000,000 votes nationally. The whole thing is typical kookoo bananas sore loserism from a bunch of racist jackwaddles who still cannot understand how Barack Hussein Obama beat their asses in humiliating fashion not once but twice.
