Repugnants set up "Obama and Hillary are guilty of somthin re Benghazi" 'investigation' commitee
Benghazi panel to have 7 GOP-ers, 5 Demshttp://www.politico.com/story/2014/05/nancy-pelosi-benghazi-panel-106385.html
The select committee that will probe the attacks in Benghazi will have seven Republicans and five Democrats, according to the resolution creating the panel.
The resolution posted to the House Rules Committee website on Tuesday night will come to the floor Thursday and is expected to pass by a wide margin. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has tapped South Carolina GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy to chair the panel.
The Gowdy committee, as its being informally called among House aides, will conduct a full and complete investigation and study and issue a final report to the House on all policies, decisions an activities that contributed to the attacks on United States facilities in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, as well as those that affected the ability of the United States to prepare for the attacks.

Rep Adam Schiff calls Repug Benghazi Committee a "Collosal Waste of Time"
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/04/adam-schiff-benghazi_n_5263227.html
WASHINGTON (AP) A Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee says it makes no sense to participate in the select committee that Republicans want to create to investigate the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya.
Rep. Adam Schiff of California says he'd recommend that Democratic leaders not appoint any Democrats to the committee that Speaker John Boehner is moving to set up.
Schiff tells "Fox News Sunday" that there have been multiple investigations into Benghazi and that the new committee is "a colossal waste of time."
Schiff calls the committee "a tremendous red herring" and a waste of money and believes Boehner is bowing to the GOP's far-right faction.

.. SUGGESTION: E-mail Democratic Congressmen and tell them to boycott the committee and tell the Repugnants:
"Why don't you just save the Government time and money and just render you verdict now and be done with it."
