Boehner Demands Email

After yesterday’s nothingburger of a hearing, John Boehner asks President Obama to release a State Department email.

I think the best take on this was from Dana Milbank of all people — “They summoned a whistleblower to Capitol Hill, but instead they got a virtuoso storyteller.” A riveting account of a horrific incident which really didn’t tell us stuff we didn’t know before or do what Republicans wanted, which was to suggest bad acts or dereliction on the part of President Obama or Hillary Clinton. About all you could use Hicks’s testimony for is actual oversight aimed at improving security policy going forward.

1. "Desperately Seeking Something...Anything" would be a good title for this little bit

of theatre...

2. Benghazi has to be the longest fishing expedition.

3. This side of Whitewater.

4. Nearly forgot about that hyped up bullshit!

[FSogol]

5. Yup, $80 million to prove the President lied about consensual sex.

Wonder when the Benghazi investigations will hit the $80 million mark?

6. I don't think they could use the blow job attack on Obama

He is seen in the public as a family man and not noted for his affairs like Clinton was alleged to have been.

7. Benghazi is more about the GOP attacking Hillary. Since they plan

on doing absolutely nothing, they already consider Obama a lame duck.

8. Yep
