New York Times Editorial Board Calls On Republicans To "Shut Down The Benghazi Committee"

[karynnj]

7. The Republicans would actually be smart to publicly end the Benghazi investigation

giving a very straight forward summary of everything that did happen. (There really is nothing there -- and even from the beginning, the closest thing they could have hoped to have found was something that indicated that the administration, while admitting that the ambassador and three others were killed tried to minimize the political impact. However, that is what you would expect ANY administration to do two months before an election. In fact, the entire issue for the Republicans was that they thought it should have led to a Romney win -- but Romney's initial reaction was very tone deaf.)

They could then - in a very "take the high road", say that they will let the FBI and Justice Department lead on the investigation on the Clinton email processes, but continue to monitor those investigations. (Here, the fact is the FBI and JD are really the ones leading this effort.)

Why would this be a good idea for the Republicans? -- because there really is nothing there on Benghazi itself and - as she did this week, HRC wins when she defends herself from charges that she either did not care or was negligent here. It then allows them to place their focus on the email issues.
