WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats say a Republican-led investigation into the deadly attack against the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, is a partisan "witch hunt," and they're demanding that it end.

Two congressmen — Adam Smith of Washington state and Elijah Cummings of Maryland — tell reporters that multiple inquiries and reports have answered the questions surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012, assault.

Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed.

Smith says Republicans continue to press ahead in a partisan attempt to embarrass the Obama administration. Cummings says the GOP is engaged in a game of "political gotcha."

1. An invisible witch hunt, more like

n/t

2. Yes, it is a witch hunt.

Republicans, who control the House, insist there are unresolved issues...

Yet, they've never articulated exactly what those issues are. What questions have they asked that aren't answered? They keep saying there are unanswered questions, but they won't say what the questions are or how the answers are unsatisfactory.

7. Yep- perpetuating this hoax

We have questions
What are the questions?
This is unresolved
How is it unresolved?
We have questions

Repeat

It keeps it alive for the Fox News believers who demand to hear the greatest hits everyday

8. Witch hunt. Or a bit of McCarthyism.

Issa is no constitutional scholar and hopefully headed for a judicial smack down...

9. More of a witch-hunt targeting Hillary than Obama IMO

[Beacool]

10. Of course it's a witch hunt.

They keep ignoring the testimonies of everyone who has testified because they don't conform to their preconceived notions. Reality and the truth are not their main concerns. Issa et al. are trying to tarnish Obama and Hillary. They see it as a win-win situation.
