After Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) admitted that Republicans lied about the purpose of the Benghazi investigation, several top Democrats are calling out the House Republicans abuse of power and calling for an immediate end to the investigation.
Rep. McCarthy got flustered during an interview with Sean Hannity and blew the worst kept political secret in Washington. He admitted that the Benghazi investigation is all about digging up mud on Hillary Clinton.
The ranking member of the Select Committee on Benghazi, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said, This stunning concession from Rep. McCarthy reveals the truth that Republicans never dared admit in public: the core Republican goal in establishing the Benghazi Committee was always to damage Hillary Clintons presidential campaign and never to conduct an even-handed search for the facts. It is shameful that Republicans have used this tragedy and the deaths of our fellow Americans for political gain. Republicans have blatantly abused their authority in Congress by spending more than $4.5 million in taxpayer funds to pay for a political campaign against Hillary Clinton.
The office of Democratic Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said, House Republicans were never interested in a bipartisan investigation to improve the security of Americans abroad. Theyve only been interested in pure extremist political theater. Leader McCarthy: the American people dont want more politically-motivated select committees not to smear presidential candidates, and not to assault womens health. They want real leadership to confront the challenges we face as a nation.

(7,911 posts)A separate investigation for each one. With front page coverage of the wrongdoing on the part of the Bush administration.
And why the hell don't the Democrats keep on reminding people that it was the Republicans who cut funding for embassy security? The Democrats seem afraid to call out the Republicans on their lies. Why is that?

(14,255 posts)I think we all knew Benghazi was bullshit, and we all knew that Benghazi just is a symptom of the hate the GOP has for Clinton.
They would only work with Clinton on things that they want.
I can't support Clinton because of issues like war and fracking and cluster bombs, and the only reason I paid attention to Benghazi was because is shows how very much the GOP hates her. Not conducive to "working with the president", IMO.

(764 posts)I hope they don't just react because everyone who isn't already with the Dems might get defensive and think the Dems are just trying to jump on what McCarty said. I can already seems some Dems jumping up and pointing fingers. No what he said is a big deal and the Demos could get together and devise a strategy and seriously make hay and get those centrist voters to move away from the repub party of no.

(528 posts)Now we can finally put this insane which-hunt to rest. This should increase HRC chance in the primary and the general by putting to bed one of the absurd scandals that's been plaguing her. I think there are legitimate concerns with Hillary but Benghazi and the Emails are silly wastes of time that prevent us from having a proper discourse.
