Related: About this forumA Second Republican admits Benghazi committee created to politically attack H. Clinton
A second congressman admitted on Wednesday that the Republican House committee created to investigate the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, is solely "designed to go after" Hillary Clinton.This may not be politically correct, but I think that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people and an individual, Hillary Clinton, Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) said on a morning radio show in upstate New York.
Republicans say they formed the House Select Committee on Benghazi to investigate the attack. Democrats have complained that the committee, which has cost taxpayers about $4.5 million during its 17 months of existence, was primarily a political stunt.

(9,600 posts)1. Peter Roskam (R) also hinted that it is a witch hunt
It seems the Republicans are quite confident that no one can stop them from destroying Hillary Clinton. They even brag about it.

(14,255 posts)3. I thought this was obvious from the start.
The only reason I took note, really, is that it perfectly illustrates the extent to which the GOP will not work with Hillary, unless it is for something they or the Third Way want to do.
I get the feeling that there is not another Democrat that they could possible hate more. Or work with less. They have probably already had their "we will obstruct everything she does or tries" meeting.

I expect to see a significant bump up in the next round of polls.

of power.The GOP should have to pay back the money they wasted too.
