With the slow progress, members have engaged in social activities like a wine club nicknamed “Wine Wednesdays,” drinking from glasses imprinted with the words “Glacial Pace,” a dig at Representative Elijah E. Cummings, Democrat of Maryland and the committee’s ranking member, Major Podliska said. Mr. Cummings used the term to question the speed of the committee’s work.

This is the smoking gun, folks. It has been obvious to Democrats for years now that the Benghazi Committee was intentionally dragging its feet in order to stretch the investigation all the way to the 2016 presidential elections. The idea being that it would thereby do maximum damage to Hillary Clinton's chances. But now there is proof that Gowdy and his pals were doing this, celebrating it, even.

1. I'd love to see some ranking Dems or even Hillary herself, go on the attack against this fraud

[Fred Sanders]

2. There is enough evidence of purposeful GOP diversion of taxpayer money to issue indictments.

[Atman]

7. Except for that no one ever will.

The Dems don't do the kind of shit the Repubs do. Even if they tried to indict they'd need cooperation from the GOP. It will never happen.

OTOH, if it was the other way around, the GOP would be willing to indict over a screwed up lunch order. They play a whole different type of ball than we do.

3. That's pretty much tying a bow on it and placing it under the tree n/t

[madokie]

4. It pisses me off that they are allowed to continue with this circus

Hillary didn't cause this to happen rather the republiCONs are directly responsible because of budget cuts.

5. Who paid for that?

Taxpayers???? That alone will do it

[Rex]

6. There are congressional records of the GOP spending taxpayer money on a political witch hunt.

Be a shame if that ever turned into a major news story for an entire year. Yep...dam shame...

8. I have ZERO time for HRH

but the transparency of this nonsense is beyond doubt. An ultimate non-issue.

9. If Bernie gets the nomination

Watch to see how quickly Benghazi evaporates.

10. the big question

is... were the glasses and wine paid out of the Benghazi committee's fund. IOW with our tax dollars.

11. Not only do they not take their job seriously ...

they make light of the fact that they don't take their job seriously. It's all fun and games.

If they were paid on the basis of productivity they would end up owing the taxpayers money.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. Wow

We suspected that the committee was dragging things out for political purposes but who knew that they would be so explicit about it?
