House Oversight Chair Darrell Issa (R-CA), who has been one of the top Republican attack dogs on Benghazi, reportedly opposed the creation of a new select committee that will investigate the 2012 attacks.
He apparently wasn’t alone. The Daily Beast reported Wednesday, citing three anonymous GOP sources, that Issa, House Intelligence Chair Mike Rogers (R-MI) and House Armed Services Chair Buck McKeon (R-CA) had objected to the select committee.
Their respective committees have each undertaken their own inquiries into the Benghazi attacks. None of the three chairs were named to the select committee last week.
The Daily Beast reported that one of the concerns among House leadership is that if the select committee uncovers any new material, it would be unflattering for the other committees that have been investigating the attacks for months.
Probably because they knew they wouldn’t be asked to be on the committee.
Their worry about any new information being turned up is misplaced unless that includes more made up BS.
Ah. Just when I thought that maybe Issa and the other members may have come to their senses and seen this would be seen as a laughable political circus, I read this:
Thanks for bringing me back to reality, GOP. /thumbs up
Don’t worry Darrell, nothing can make you look any worse than you already do.
lol…now they are worried they will look bad if the new committee does the job they have been trying to do for 2 years?
