Kevin McCarthy lets GOP’s Benghazi mask slip: It’s all about derailing Hillary Clinton

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The man set to take the job as the top Republican in the House just made a crucial admission about the true nature of the wild goose-chase known as the House Select Committee on Benghazi — its aim is to take down Hillary Clinton.

While the revelation may come as no surprise, its source should. Outgoing House Speaker John Boehner recently warned his party of “false prophets” and after Fox News’ Sean Hannity worried he’d been wrongly labeled as such, he somehow elicited a confession from Boehner’s would-be successor that is heresy to right-wing orthodoxy on Benghazi.

“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy offered as “one example” of a Republican win in Congress. “But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today?” the California Republican asked. “Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable.”

1. He jumped onto a wagon that was already rolling downhill and gave himself credit for pushing it

First of all, the dumbass sort of admitted to something that is probably in opposition to congressional rules, forming a committee for the purpose of trashing a presidential candidate from an opposition party.

But he's giving himself way too much credit. Hillary Clinton was widely regarded as "untrustable" long before there even was a Benghazi committee, in fact long before the events of 9/11/2012 in Libya occurred. Sure her numbers are dropping, but she mostly did that to herself. McCarthy and his trained monkey on the committee had nothing to do with it.

2. What a great birthday present GOP just handed Hillary.

Rep Cummins should quit, citing fraud, and Hil should reneg on her testimony to panel. They just got busted.
