When House Republicans called a hearing in the middle of their long recess, you knew it would be something big, and indeed it was: They accidentally blew the CIA’s cover. The purpose of Wednesday’s hearing of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee was to examine security lapses that led to the killing in Benghazi last month of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three others. But in doing so, the lawmakers reminded us why “congressional intelligence” is an oxymoron.
Through their outbursts, cryptic language and boneheaded questioning of State Department officials, the committee members left little doubt that one of the two compounds at which the Americans were killed, described by the administration as a “consulate” and a nearby “annex,” was a CIA base. They did this, helpfully, in a televised public hearing.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) was the first to unmask the spooks. “Point of order!

Another Issa witch hunt, the last of which was just intended to throw off AG Holder from enforcing the 1965 Section 5 voting suppression laws. And now because some azzhole Teapublican wants to make himself look important (Chaffetz of Utah) " lawmakers reminded us why “congressional intelligence” is an oxymoron." Here we go again. Like I keep saying, with the Tea Party Taliban, who needs enemies ?
Issa was just a car thief who figured out after being a scumbag officer that no one liked in my Army he could make more money selling car alarms.
