So........now that we're getting a Select Committee on #BENGHAZI!

what will happen when they fail to turn up anything new? To me, it seems like they will continue to insist that their "facts" are correct and any absence of evidence corroborating their "facts" are solely the result of a WH coverup. The question then becomes how much longer can they ride this pony? 2016? 2018? 2020? When does this end? If anybody should need a good reason to GOTV and clear out the House THIS November, you can't do any better than this IMHO.

They are sure they can drag this thing out until at least until the seas rise.

Whenever there is bad news for Rs, or good news for Hillary/Dems, the clown circus will invent some new "evidence" that needs investigating, turn on the cameras and screech and fling feces.

I've been saying this since Obama was reelected. They can't stand the fact he was elected twice. All the crap (You lie!, fast and furious, IRS, birth certificate, secert Muslim, Obamacare lies and Benghazi) they have spewed is rooted in their hatred. Facts don't matter. "We hate him and by God we're gonna impeach him!"

9. This is the results of ACA having a good sign up rate.

Republicans could not run on Obamacare so back to Benghazi. Their boy Issa was not able to deliver even after spending $14 M and was not able to pin anything on Hillary so let's try this again.

Lois Lerner was exercising her 5th Amendment rights and they are finding her in contempt, where are the members who took an oath to uphold the Constitution?

Kangaroo court is much too mild for this bunch. Issa has been fired, guess he could not steal a car so he remains a pain in the butt.

10. Problem is that this kind of idiocy still draws in Republican votes.

It doesn't get any more Democrats out to vote but creates a feeling of outrage on the right that pulls people into the voting booths.

You can't look at these clown shows as attempts to govern.
They are simply artificial ploys to help increase Republicans control of our government.

Democrats laugh - Republicans vote.
