Not that any of us believe they are similar in any way because Benghazi had no credible evidence, but I do think that it is very telling that the Right is warning Democrats that it could turn into their Benghazi. It suggests that they knew all along that it was only meant to stoke their base.
So, we need to keep throwing the facts in their face until Dana Summer and The Federalists run out of innuendo to throw at us.

The powers to be knew it was bullshit, but it was the rally point for their gate mongering first over four years, and was vital to damaging Hills public profile.

Even if we're not tragically exploiting deaths or referencing Russian hacks or fake news propaganda spread across social media.
We're not pissed because we lost an election.
We're pissed because they gave us a sociopathic, corrupt, racist misogynist -- and all we are doing is documenting it in shock!

(115,576 posts)A huge, expensive, politically-motivated fraud? That's what they're claiming about the demands for investigating the Russia connections, so if they try to compare this to Benghazi they'll be admitting that was totally bogus.
