Mr. Nothingburger.
You’d better believe he’d have squeezed every last drop out of the Benghazi hearings if he’d ever managed to lay a glove on her. He’d have been running toward every camera and mic in sight. Pitching himself for talking-head gigs on cable TV, or reassign a staffer to book him on talk shows while he still had a viable DC office. And he’d try for a book deal and speakers bureau bookings too.
The fact that he fizzled so spectacularly was, and still is, INCREDIBLY satisfying! He tried everything, in every way, to dig up some dirt on Hillary Clinton. Something, anything.
I remember when Michael S. Schmidt, the New York Times reporter, had a front page story about a “possible criminal investigation” of her in connection to the Benghazi sham. And Michael S. Schmidt almost dutifully enlarged upon some sketchy, ill-defined “dirt” a source had told him that suggested a possible “criminal investigation” was approaching. And it turned out to be yet another Trey Gowdy Nothingburger. NOTHING came of it. Nothing EVER.
I also remember not seeing either Michael S. Schmidt OR Trey Gowdy making many more appearances on camera for awhile. They both kinda disappeared, at least temporarily. Schmidt is back at it, now, actually reporting on some legitimate “dirt”, and landing back on the front page again, and working on building a higher profile. Maybe he’s actually digging up some real stuff because he gave up looking for dirt on Hillary and switched his focus to republi-CONS? I still can’t help but suspect that the oh so sinister-sounding “possible criminal investigation” crap during the Benghazi hearings was a worthless “tip” Schmidt got FROM Trey Gowdy. Based on the reporting, I couldn’t help but suspect that Schmidt was flush with GOP sources and contacts. He sure wouldn’t be getting any tips like that from Democrats.
