Hillary Clinton’s campaign quickly denounced the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Wednesday after a second House Republican, Rep. Richard Hanna (R-NY), admitted that the committee was established in part to go after Clinton.
“House Republicans aren’t even shy anymore about admitting that the Benghazi Committee is a partisan farce. After failing to produce any new information on the tragic 2012 attacks at Benghazi despite a 17-month investigation, John Boehner has reportedly urged the committee to shift its focus to Hillary Clinton’s emails in an ongoing effort to try to hurt her politically,” Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said in a Wednesday night statement. “Hillary Clinton will still attend next week’s hearing, but at this point, Trey Gowdy’s inquiry has zero credibility left.”
During a Wednesday interview on New York radio station WIBX 950’s “Keeler in the Morning,” Hanna mentioned House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) remark that the Benghazi committee had successfully hurt Clinton’s campaign. the New York congressman said McCarthy was telling “the truth.”
“This may not be politically correct, but I think that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people and an individual, Hillary Clinton,” Hanna said.
Benghazi!
Seriously, anyone with two brain cells rubbing together knew this.
My granny used to say "a blind man with wooden glasses could see’’ this Benghazi probe is utter bullshitry.
Too bad for Trey Gowdy.
Apparently there were no interns available to throw under the bus.

The Congress has oversight responsibility over the Executive branch. Who oversees the overseers?
I guess the good news is their Planned Parenthood select committee is tarnished before it even starts. Couple a partisan witch hunt with edited video’s and mostly white male inquisitors, yep, what could go wrong?
