This week marks the end of the Benghazi ‘scandal’

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Hillary Clinton will be testifying before the Select Committee on Benghazi on Thursday, and by the time she walks out of that hearing room, chances are that all the Republicans’ hopes of using this issue to bring Clinton down will be officially gone.

The timing of Clinton’s testimony couldn’t have worked out better for her, coming as it is after a string of revelations and embarrassments for the committee. First, then-presumptive Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said on Fox News that the committee’s purpose was to bring down Clinton’s poll numbers, a “gaffe” that had an extraordinary impact, especially when you consider that he was only acknowledging what everyone in Washington already knew. Then we learned that the Select Committee has all but abandoned investigating Benghazi to focus on Clinton’s emails (and that committee staffers are so busy they’ve formed a wine club and a gun-buying club).

1. I hope so.

But alas, the GOP never gives up until all avenues have been exhausted 100 million times or more.

2. Well, they will probably start an investigation

of the CIA looking for communications between them and Hillary or Cummings.

3. The GOP members of the panel are going to try to interrupt and talk over her

And when she defends herself from the yelling, incompetent boobs of the GOP by talking over them and asking if she could finish, she will be painted as an hysterical harpy not suited for the highest office in the land.............The narrative has been set.

4. THe Democrats and Rethugs will be objecting to one another and she will look like the only adult...

The Democrats and Rethugs will be objecting to one another and she will look like the only adult in the room.

5. Hope she asks him about his fraudulently redacting some of her emails first thing

And then about McCarthy, and Hanna, and the investigator who was forced out — all admitted that the committee was only there to bring down Hillary.
