Democrats on Benghazi panel see role as defensive (election problem)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The five Democrats on the House Select Committee on Benghazi are being counted on to defend the Obama administration's record as November's elections creep closer. All five voted against the special investigation and most have described it as a political stunt and waste of time.

Each now says it's important to participate in the GOP-led probe of how a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed at a U.S. diplomatic installation in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, and how the administration responded.

They say that without their presence, Republican accusations against President Barack Obama, his top officials and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, a possible presidential front-runner in 2016, would go unchallenged.

A political stunt??? I continue to marvel at the chutzpah exhibited by the Dems. But, besides the marveling, I have learned something important about the meaning of the term Washington D.C. While often mis-reported as meaning Washington, District of Columbia it is obvious that the true translation is:

Washington, (home of) Democratic Chutzpah. It just makes sense.

The five Democrats on the House Select Committee on Benghazi are being counted on to defend the Obama administration's record and to save Hillary's ***. All five voted against the special investigation and most have described it as a "political stunt" and waste of time that could seriously undermine Hillary's 2016 ambitions.

Ummmmmm.....the Dummies better shut-up.....they could get enmeshed in the burgeoning Obama/Clinton scandal.

News hound Bob Woodward Definitely Doesn’t Buy Hillary’s Benghazi Denial. Woodward doesn’t believe Hillary's whine that it's all about politics. The reporter known for making news claims there are still “serious, unanswered questions about this.”

Hillary's book stoutly declares that everything there is to know about Benghazi has already been revealed....she is hoping to silence Republicans by charging politics is behind the continuing probe.

Woodward will not be dissuaded. ".....one of the questions I have -- did she keep a diary? Obama confirmed to Woodward that he keeps a diary. Woodward noted. “Ronald Reagan kept a very detailed diary of Iran Contra, and he turned it over.”

The veteran Post reporter also knocked Clinton and Obama....... noting it’s not all about partisan politics. “There are facts,” he asserted. “There is neutral inquiry. And there is a way to look at this and get that information and see if there is new information.”

Next thing you know, Bob Woodward will be comparing Benghazi to Watergate.
