Almost every one of the 230-plus House Republicans is clamoring to be among the seven members placed on the Benghazi select committee.
Multiple Hill reporters tweeted that 206 congressional GOPers had requested a seat on the committee. House leadership aides said Tuesday that the committee would have seven Republicans and five Democrats.
