If Trey Goudy is picked, we will know Bonehead is serious.
If not, it is just a campaign tool by Bonehead and the GOP.
Allahpundit may well have it right.
Seems Boehner’s epic resistance to ever establishing a Select Committee, even immediately after the Big Lie of Benghazi was overwhelmed by the facts and witnesses on the ground, drew ire from Republicans at home and in the House.
Boehner then hawks immigration “reform” and further enrages the base of his party.
Now comes the chess. Boehner trades out one of two main issues aligned against him (probably to save his Speakership) to get the other. He gives us a Select Committee.
The return he expects may be more about increased cooperation on amnesty, from recalcitrant House members.
You are correct on Boehner’s seriousness. It’s Gowdy, or this SC is a spin machine arranged to go nowhere.
Even at that, with Goudy, I’m going with Boner seeing his speakership flashing before his eyes. Boner has just spent way too much time warming the bench. Without at least a litle time in the game Boner is done as speaker.
