11. Where are the Democrats on Goober-Gowdy's committee? A Republican-led committee with no Dems

is a partisan committee out for political gain. And nothing more. So have any journalists asked where the Democratic lawmakers are? It would be the very first thing they'd ask Democrats had they been after any prominent Republican.

transparently desperate to take down Hillary Clinton, and our so-called 4th Estate is helping them do whatever they can to LIE to the American people.

Democrats need to counter this propaganda "presser" right after. They need to demand equal time from the media right after and come out and say that this is nothing more than another taxpayer-funded witch-hunt for political advantage instead of actually doing something useful for the American people - like sensible gun safety laws.

Republicans are only in power to get more power. They're not in our Congress to do anything for us little people. Therefore, they need to be voted OUT wherever and however possible.

"The Hunting of the President?"

thank you, gene Lyons and joe conason

AFA the M$M, it's what they DO, and it's the media's assigned duty to let the message go out unalloyed

no better example than the swiftboating travesty

of another taxpayer-funded GOP witch hunt against Hillary Clinton that will last her entire two terms if we don't get rid of them.

Has any journalist worth his or her salt, ask why there aren't any Democrats in Goober's committee? If this is supposed to be a non-partisan committee to "find out what happened in Benghazi", then where are the Democrats?

pissed because there was (allegedly) no/insufficient response to rescue or defend Chris Stevens & Co.

But where were they demanding action and spending millions of bucks and hours getting to the bottom of 9/11?

Benghazi just like they were fascinated by the Clenis. Always wondering where it has been, what it is UP to, what it was doing.
