Thank You Rep Schiff Of California! - The reason for the GOP's Blumenthal secrecy finally revealed

Never gonna get it!

We finally find out why the Republicans on the Benghazi committee have refused to release the entire transcript of Sidney Blumenthal's testimony. Thank you, Rep. Adam Schiff of California. Congressman Schiff gave us a look at what he called "Sidney Blumenthal by the numbers," and it's clear the GOP doesn't want the American public to know what they asked Blumenthal about—because it had nothing to do with the actual Benghazi attacks.

Here's what mattered to their investigation:


•On Blumenthal's alleged business activities in Libya: more than 270 questions
•On Blumenthal's relationship with Clinton: more than 160 questions
•On the Clinton Foundation: more than 50 questions
•On David Brock/Media Matters: more than 45 questions

Here's what didn't matter:

•On the Benghazi attacks: less than 20 questions
•On security in Benghazi: only 4 questions
•On the U.S. presence in Benghazi: 0 (zip, nada) questions
•On Ambassador Stevens and other U.S. personnel in Benghazi: 0 (zip, nada) questions
