Ben Who?

Well, they're at it again in the House.  Our "House"... the U.S. House of Representatives.  Congressman Trey Goudy from South Carolina is chairing yet another committee to "learn the facts" about Benghazi.  A SELECT Committee.  Seriously?  Well, they're serious about having a hearing.  And it's a serious attempt to "get" the Democratic administration in general and Hillary Clinton in particular.   Do you know the number of hearings already held on this subject, hearings conducted by Congressman  Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight Committee?  I did know at one time, but finally lost count.  Witch hunt?  What else?  Republicans have been trying to gin up a scandal to implicate the President ever since President Obama was sworn in the first time.

Congress has all the time in the world to conduct these repetitive hearings. After all, they're not legislating.  Not unless you count around 50 efforts to repeal the ACA and various bills to deny women access to health care and/or dictate invasive procedures for any woman seeking to terminate a pregnancy.  (That would be invasive procedures by the same GOVERNMENT that "conservatives" strongly feel should stay out of our lives...but should be welcomed women's vaginas. ) 

 

Let's see how the former prosecutor from South Carolina will conduct his hearings.  It will be interesting to see whether Democrats opt to be a part of this committee at all. As one of the House minority leaders, Jim Clyburn (also from South Carolina) said:  "I'm not bringing a rope to my own hanging."  Mr. Clyburn is a wise man. The Dems might opt out altogether and let the Republicans hang themselves.  Again.  Maybe this time the whole country, including the media, will be paying closer attention.
