Another GOP congressman says Benghazi panel meant to hurt Clinton

Another Republican lawmaker says the House Select Committee on Benghazi is meant to go after the reputation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Rep. Richard Hanna, R-New York, said Wednesday on New York's' WIBX 950 said "Sometimes the biggest sin you can commit in D.C. is to tell the truth."

"This may not be politically correct, but I think that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people and an individual, Hillary Clinton," said Hanna, who is not a member of the committee. "After what Kevin McCarthy said, it's difficult to accept at least a part of it was not. I think that's the way Washington works. But you'd like to expect more from a committee that's spent millions of dollars and tons of time."

Clinton is scheduled to testify before the panel on October 22.

To me, Benghazi illustrates just how very much the GOP hates Hillary and would not work with her, except for those things that they and/or the Third way want to do.

after the break. As I posted elsewhere the 'Young Guns' have shot themselves in the Benghazi and their leadership let them self destruct. Get me some butter for my popcorn!!!

This is a republican who is criticizing his own party for this. Perhaps party "leadership" should just shut it down before the embarrassment becomes an irretrievable liability.
