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 aboutbecause 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
