David Brocks statement on Benzhazi Sham

I do not expect the committee to be shut down nor the Ethics Committee to look into this sham. I would love to be proven wrong.

Kevin McCarthy admits Benghazi Committee formed to take down Hillary



David Brock, founder of Correct The Record, released the statement below in response to Republican Kevin McCarthy’s admission last night on Fox News that the Benghazi Committee was formed to take down Hillary Clinton.

“Kevin McCarthy’s admission ............

“I call on John Boehner, Trey Gowdy and House Republicans to end this investigation and issue an apology for this terrible exploitation of the deaths of four brave Americans. House Republicans led by Trey Gowdy have shamelessly, recklessly and erroneously leaked misinformation to the media and blatantly fundraised off the tragedy to benefit Republicans in 2016. It is time this investigation comes to an end and Republicans admit – like McCarthy did last night – that this entire thing was a political sham.

“Next, the House Ethics Committee must open an investigation into for this abuse of power and misuse of taxpayer funds for political purposes.”
