Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, on Sunday slammed the House Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi attack as “ridiculous.”
“I think it’s a hunting mission for a lynch mob, actually. I think that’s what’s going on,” she said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Feinstein said that Congress has generated numerous reports and conducted multiple investigations into the attack and the way the administration handled the aftermath. She then compared the Benghazi attack to the bombing of the U.S. embassy in Beirut, Lebanon while Ronald Reagan was president.
The senator said that Congress knows everything they need to know about Benghazi, though she conceded that the Obama administration was not prepared for the attack.
“There were faults. The intelligence was there. Actions should have been taken,” she said.

That’s very accurate IMO.
The Benghazi Committee’s morning prayer breakfast meeting:
Feinstein: Benghazi Committee A ‘Hunting Mission For A Lynch Mob’
Bit of a mixed metaphor here, but a creditable effort nonetheless. I would have phrased it as:
‘An execrable snipe hunt for the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.’
or, to paraphrase Oscar Wilde: “The unspeakable in full pursuit of the unprovable.”
Not that I would expect better from this useless creature but the correct response would be: the real culprit here is the funding for embassy security denied by Republicans on the hill.
Why is this so hard?
This dead dog has been beat so often that I’m running out of snark for it. Surely this is a sign from our maker that it’s time to move on to the next faux scandal.
