House Benghazi committee folds its tent. After spending millions of dollars ...

and finding absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of SOS Hillary Clinton, Republicans just said, "Fuck it"; and walked away snickering under their breath. Because by their standards the entire charade was a rousing success.
By corrupting, if not flat-out bastardizing what should have been a non-partisan investigation, the Repubs were ready, willing, and eager to put party ahead of country and spend month after month flinging unsubstantiated shit at Secretary Clinton. And that took its toll.
But the next time a Repug waves a flag at me, I will be sorely tempted to snatch it from their hands and shove it straight up their ass.

...in their ongoing effort (with Russian assistance) to defeat Hillary Clinton based on a pack of crap accusations.

The GOP got what it wanted, another way to effect the outcome of the election against HRC.

I'll give it 15% of the blame for fueling years of nonstop Hillary hating.

It also grew the email wart, worth at least 35% of the blame.

I'm reserving the rest for racist Democrats, Bernie Sanders, poor campaigning, pneumonia, DNC hacks, fake news, Comey and Hillary herself.

Everything else they do falls under the category of obstructionism.
