Even started to be concerned about an attack that happened on our land. Almost like they knew what happened already and just had to do their report to make it look good.

The GOP had a smoking gun on Benghazi they were going to release that would destroy Clinton. Sigh.
Sadly, that's not the only Duer I've seen raise Benghazi.

yes and sadly, all investigations, including the House investigation (Issa) and Senate investigation and others have found ZERO smoking gun.....so if this is a smoking gun, its a total bullshit outright lie, and Trey Gowdy WILL be held accountable for it.

Hillary will turn that whole thing around on the idiots. Sad the media will not report the ass whippen she'll lay down on Republicans for not funding embassies around the world, which is the real CAUSE for BENGHAZI.

the stage will be set for this one last attack.

Of course they will lie and falsify the report. The problem is that the election will be over before those lies are proven.

Hillary has a real chance of losing this election. I wish people could see that and be terrified by it.

She cannot be the standard bearer of the 99% if she is of the 1%. And she is. End of story, and she is going to be totally smeared about the Clinton Found. foreign and corporate donors who not only donate to good causes but also pay Bill Clinton $500K for a speech. She'll be in the thick of the Battle of the Billionaires with Jebbie and the repug billionaire puppets like Rubio and Walker. It's absurd. Elizabeth Warren NOW! She's a credible candidate to stand up to the 1% and she's a fiery speaker - people will listen to her and see that she makes sense.

But when I take the reins of the subcommittee for investigations into Benghazi, it won't be political and I won't use it to fund raise!
And we all know that the moon is made of green cheese and that the sun rotates around the earth. Trey Gowdy (R) South Carolina, is like all the rest of the Republican Party, prevaricators! They've got the integrity of slugs and know nothing more than the end of their noses and they really can't see them because they're blind to the implications of telling the truth.

Disappointment? You bet!
But surprise? Not bloody likely.
This is right out of turd-blossom's playbook, and if the DNC and Congressional Democrats didn't see this coming -- and don't respond accordingly -- the other emotion it evokes is sadness.

18. The biggest lie ever told
Fri Apr 24, 2015, 04:52 PM
Apr 2015

This is really a gift for the Democrats. Benghazi would have to be turned into a lie to destroy Hillary, just a big as too big to fail was a lie, because inside treasury economists screwed up in their calculation of an eigenvalue is linear algebra, or the war in Iraq was a lie. This should be the best of the best lie ever told.

My feeling are, the Republicans have an insider connection to Benghazi, knowing this incident was going to happen. Or make adjustments that would make it fail, complimenting that notion of too big to fail, and sacrifice prominent American lives to make it theater, hoping the issue showing irresponsibility in the State Department and reflecting the issue to Hillary. But its not working.

From my view it is typical in the sideline shadows to reason there is enough hold overs or loyal middle agent hold overs with allegiance to the Bush Cheney administration readied in the shadows to throw a wrench into any successful negotiations that Hillary would try, or any prominent Democratic associate would try to achieve.

This is the perfect time for Hillary to take the issue head on, grab this political event and turn table to which is this case; turn it into the irresponsibility or short fall in the Republican appropriations for war.

Heck, the Republicans own that label of cutting cost, with arrogance and in your face retaliation implemented an unnecessary sequestered economic plan that force peace time departments and military departments into uncertainty. That is the perfect argument the Republicans will avoid at any cost in those final days or hours.

cut the funding for it and ban them from opening a new "investigation". This has been invetsigated to death and spend more of our tax money on wasted causes is ridiculous. If the GOP wants more investigations they should have come up with the funding. Either raise taxes or cut from things they like to spend on.

I feel the same way as you about the repugs. But they are not all white shitfaces b/c there is some diversity, although not much. People like Ben Carson, Bobby Jindal, Michael Steele, the list goes on. Let's turn the wrath into some campaign action during this election season and beat the pants off the traitorous power grabbing thieves and scoundrels.

As if Hillary isn't preparing for whatever nonsense they come up with.

We could also throw a real monkey wrench into their plans by nominating O'Malley or some other Dem instead.

and heard numerous interviews where people mentioned Benghazi as one of the determining factors for their votes for Republicans. The GOP knows that Benghazi is a manufactured controversy but that it works to get votes. So they will keep on using it. Heck, they made the theme of their convention, "You didn't build that", doing much the same thing. It plays with the base but does nothing for those who recognize it for what it is.
