Dear press: this is a test of your honesty and responsibility.

If there was any doubt that the whole email/Benghazi nonsense was nothing but a witch hunt, the wonderfully named McCarthy just put that doubt to rest. What's going on here is simple. Republicans are abusing their power in order to help Republicans win the presidential campaign.

There was never anything to Benghazi!! and there was never anything to email server!! and everyone always knew that. But, I get it, you're the press, your job is to sensationalize. But now the truth is out there, plainly, for everyone to see. Time to show some integrity.

Oh, and "progressives" who have jumped aboard the McCarthy/Gowdy train based on the "enemy of my enemy" principle -- now is probably a good time to hop off.

email/Benghazi stuff to die. We'll see how the press, now aware that it's all a witch hunt designed to hurt Hillary's poll numbers, reacts.

just another part of the relentless assault on the Clintons and Democrats in general

she could have handled her email situation better. duh. we all could probably do this or that better here and there

even the recent poll where over 50% said she was a "liar" was rigged and bullshit

these guys will use anything and everything at their disposal

Hillary would be a good President

So would Bernie.

I prefer Bernie.

But the shoe will drop on the email story when it becomes more widely known that her server was a sitting duck for foreign hackers.
