And as to the emails, you do not care about policy... if you did, you would have done the due diligence and gone though them. Trust me, the only Benghazi in them (and not all of them) is the location of origin.
The content, which you seem not to understand, has to do with what actions we are going to take regarding the revolution, things like when Stevens first came in, threats to the hotel they were staying, and lengthily reports on conditions.
As I said, you do not care. You are a partisan. My original training is as a historian. I knew what I was reading.
Though I have a question for Issa... why the hell did he NOT go after the only document in there that could have kept the scandal somewhat alive? Shallow, yes, but most Americans don't know about the policies we have in place when diplomatic vehicles get into an accident, especially when people die. Of course, that is what is called in the business a gotcha question. (And I am sure Issa would be surprised any reporter actually read that email... if in proper earshot to local RW radio host that will get Issa in trouble with the base.... but likely Issa will just run away AGAIN.)
As to oppo research, you actually do get that. They have been planning and got their knickers in a twist when they did not get this in 2008, to run against Clinton. This is like the second coming of the 1990s. They are salivating. They have reams of oopo research on HRC... some is crap, some is not, wheat chaff kind of a problem.
The name alone conjures images of BJs in the Oval Office for some hyper partisans among Republicans. Some are looking forwards to dig out Vince Foster all over again. I fear for some they would like to exhume the body for real.
Their worst nightmare is that anybody BUT Clinton gets the nomination. They might have some on Bernie, O'Malley is completely unknown
