The House Democrats on the Select Committee On Benghazi have wasted $2 million obstructing the body's investigation into the 2012 terrorist attack that left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others dead. Thus far, the Democrats on the committee have not called one member of the Obama administration to testify, nor have they requested any documents from the administration for review. Now, after complaining about the committee's cost, it's been reported that these very Democrats have doled out tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses to staffers (via Fox News):
Democrats on the House committee probing the 2012 Benghazi terror attacks awarded tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses to their staff, while at the same time repeatedly attacking Republicans over the rising cost of the investigation.
According to publicly available reports, a total of $33,600 was given to six Democratic staffers at the end of 2014 and 2015.
While the bonuses make up only a fraction of the panel's total expenses to date, critics suggested they undermine the minority members' complaints about the budget.

Democrats complain the committee's investigation, established in May 2014, has gone on longer than the 9/11 Commission's review of the 2001 terror attacks and have accused Republicans of using the committee as a political weapon to attack Democratic 2016 front-runner Hillary Clinton -- who was secretary of state at the time of the Benghazi attacks.
And they have been relentless in describing the investigation as a waste of money, even including a “Benghazi Spending Tracker†on their website. The total taxpayer tab is now at nearly $6 million.
Hypocrisy thy name is Democrat.
They spent 15 million! 15 MILLION TO SEE WHY LEZBIANS ARE FAT!
They could have killed two birds and just asked cankles when she was brought before the committee!!
wait what! Do you have a link for that 15 million spent as I would like to send it to others?
Now imagine if a republican had done what Clinton and Obama had done, then imagine the republicans blocking any access to this investigation?
Yep the Dem are nothing but lies and hypocrisy.
here’s just one
And those bonuses FROM the democrats on the panel were FOR those staffers whose delays and problems and false starts and bad paperwork - when there was paperwork at all! - were the REWARDS for the very delays and expenses that the democrats are complaining about, are using, and are causing.
They give out BONUSES because they cannot give them raises outside the GS government employee job classifications.
Only in government...
Thanks I ma sending this to a lot of people. If only the media would report such acts as this from this government to spend our money on homosexuals.
There’s even more articles, that was just one.
You’re welcome. Some lib tried that talking point on me at work, shut him down real fast.
Know a guy who is a fed worker. He works 4 days a week and is supposed to work Fridays at home. Well on Friday and the wife go away for a long weekend every weekend. \
When the cuts came on he complained he was not getting his bonuses and 70 grand was not enough to live.
He lives in frigging south GA.
Hell I wish I got half of that and would work much more and without bonuses.
That link and others are going to quite a few libs who said I was making it up and it was because I am against them having their sham marriage or playing happy families
Democrats have forked tongue.
