9/11/12 Benghazi attack happens and all of a sudden everyone loses their minds. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!? WE DEMAND ANSWERS!! AMERICAN LIVES!!


I guess none of these other instances merited much noise. Why is that I wonder?

 

Because Hillary Clinton. 

 

The more I observe this whole Benghazi investigation, the more it is obvious that Republicans live in their own world. 

 

I am no fan of Hillary Clinton.   But as I watched hours of the latest hearing, where they grilled Hillary Clinton endlessly, I kept asking myself, where's the beef?   Either these congress people are completely incompetent, or there's nothing there.  

 

The level of indignation and hostility with which they asked their questions was notable to say the least, to the point where it was obvious they weren't after the truth, they were after her. 

 

Dozens of congress people who had months of preparation, no rules of evidence or any restraint like you'd see in a courtroom, so...  go get her.   Nail her to the wall.   And...?   She sits there and swats away every question with this look of total boredom like she was LeBron James defending the hoop against a bunch of little kids.
