In astoundingly transparent fashion, the Republicans on the Select Committee on Benghazi have abandoned all pretense plans for investigating departments and agencies outside the State Department and individuals other than Hillary Clinton.
An article in The Hill today reveals a letter from Select Committee Democrats to their GOP counterparts accusing them of refitting the objectives of the committee from inquiry and prevention into a political weapon aimed at the former secretary of state. Thank you, Karen Finney, for sharing this because regardless of what “we all knew all along,” here is the evidence. In the end evidence is all that really counts. It is our only weapon.
Dems: Benghazi panel has ‘abandoned’ its work to focus on Hillary
Greg NashBy Martin Matishak – 07/15/15
Democrats serving on the House Select Committee on Benghazi say the panel’s GOP chairman has “abandoned” plans for hearings to shift the focus of the investigation to Hillary Clinton.
“At the beginning of this year, Select Committee Republicans provided Democrats with detailed information about their plans to hold 11 hearings between January and October on a wide range of topics relating to the Benghazi attacks,” the panel’s five Democrats wrote Wednesday in a letter to chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.).
“Since then, however, Republicans have completely abandoned this plan — holding no hearings at all since January and instead focusing on former Secretary Hillary Clinton,” they added.
Here is the letter.
Like Hillary said about Trump, it is high time, (years over due) for someone to tell this disgraceful man (and Issa behind him) BASTA. She cannot stop the investigation against herself. The members must.

Or perhaps it might be a good idea to refocus on the original agenda which was inquiry and prevention. They are wasting time and money while not finding the weaknesses that allowed this to occur. Are they waiting for the next Benghazi? What does it take to get these folks to do their actual job?

[…] Yes, that Trey Gowdy! It’s is hard to know whether this script could be more absurd if Samuel Beckett had written it. An element of drama is suspension of disbelief. But this is not dramatic fiction. This is taking place in our Capitol, and it is very real. […]
