Second GOP Congressman Admits Benghazi Committee Is All About Hillary Clinton

Source: Huffington Post

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.

If Gowdy were smart, he would figure out a graceful way to not have her testify. But it may be too late for that. Cancelling the appearance now would smack of desperation.
So Hillary will testify and she will expose them for the partisan schmucks that they are. And her popularity will go up. It has to. There is no way Hillary lets them win this round. She is a strong woman. House Republicans cannot beat a strong woman who will not abide their crap. I give you the Planned Parenthood hearing and that partisan schmuck Jason Chaffetz and his "chart" which Cecile Richards used to great effect to expose the lies on which the hearing was based.

Hoisted on their own petard again, methinks.

She'll clean the floor with them, just like she did the previous time she had to testify.
