Oh-oh,....someone just got played.................
The big House Benghazi investigation has turned into a full blown circus, as John Boehner has lost control over Darrell Issa, who has gone rogue, and is trashing Boehners big plans. Here is a transcript of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) explaining the meltdown in the House GOP to CNNs Wolf Blitzer:
BLITZER: What exactly is going on?
REP. CUMMINGS: I think the Speaker has lost control of Issa. Mr. Issas trying to interject himself into the Select Committees business. Keep in mind, Wolf, when the Select Committee was formed what the Speaker said was everything comes under the Select Committee. Now, here we have Mr. Issa trying to bring the Secretary in, and the Secretary is saying, you know, Im going to come, but Im just going to come one time. This is it. By the way, Wolf, it undermines the Select Committee. It undermines them. This is the very thing they were worried about.
BLITZER: I thought if there was a Select Committee, it would supersede the other committees.
CUMMINGS: Thats exactly right .I can tell you. I would think that Trey (Gowdy) would be a little upset about this. In other words, its his committee now, the Select Committee, and now he sees Issa operating on the outside, and the Speaker said it would not be a circus, but weve got a circus on the side.
.
Blitzer and Cummings both agreed that Sec. of State Kerry wouldnt know anything, because he was a senator and not the Sec. of State at the time of the attack. Yesterday, Issa sabotaged the Select Committee by disclosing details of a memo that confirms that the White House was telling the truth about Benghazi. At the time, it was speculated that Issa was bitter about the Benghazi investigation being taken away from him. Rep. Issas behavior today proves that he is actively working to sabotage Boehners Select Committee investigating Benghazi.
