They summoned a whistleblower to Capitol Hill, but instead they got a virtuoso storyteller.
Gregory Hicks, the No. 2 U.S. diplomat in Libya the night Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed, was to be the star witness for Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the man leading the probe of the Obama administrations handling of the attack on the diplomatic outpost in Benghazi.
But despite Issas incautious promise that the hearings revelations would be damaging to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Hicks didnt lay a glove on the former secretary of state Wednesday. Rather, he held lawmakers from both parties rapt as he recounted the events of that terrifying night revealing a made-for-Hollywood plot with a slow, theatrical delivery and genuine emotion.
He spoke of watching TV at his residence in Tripoli when a security officer ran into my villa yelling, Greg! Greg! The consulates under attack.

You have to buy this kind of loyalty. But, whatever the Democrats paid, it wasn’t worth it.
Meh, no Impeachment. I watched it. Needs more of a smoking gun. And no, I’m not saying there might not be something but there must be more. Maybe it’s the Prosecutor in me talking.
We need someone better on this than Issa. He seems out of his depth here and not particularly prepared.
We reach, brothers.
Milbank, Obama’s fella tis tis.
In 2001, in the early months of the GWB administration, his blatant hostility to President Bush was so extreme that even the rest of the mainstream media found it over-the-top. Later he became a regular guest on MSNBC...and may still be since I avoid watching it (but occasionally see who is on as I am clicking past that channel with the remote).
Good. That's what we want. I remember Watergate like it was yesterday.
The lame stream media was the arch enemy of Nixon. It was the whole reason for Watergate. The constant attacks made it hard to get a conviction before he resigned. He was always in the limelight, so he knew what was comin’.
Now the House has a chance to go under the radar and blindside the arrogant SOB. It'll be too late for this primadonna to resign before he's impeached AND convicted. And the LSM will go down in flames with him.
This is the PERFECT opportunity to demolish the leftist communists boobs once and for all.
Have you failed to include the enemy in your calculus, the enemy called ‘the media’, who control what the vast majority of Americans have as a facts base?
milbank... you whore for satan... you cannot stop the destruction of all that you love... the end is coming for all of you traitors. It may take time but the truth will win out.

Sanctimonious, protected little pissant “journalists” who deign to ridicule the accounts of someone whose organization had been attacked by terrorists, and his boss killed. Milbank would be hiding under the bed pissing his pink panties if he were caught up in something like that.
“Ms” Dana is special, he is a special idiot!!!
Thats all the legacy media produces anymore.
Why won't the GOP say so?
Now this is advocacy. Someone alert CBS.
Dana is a ‘guy’. Well, at least biologically.
But... so is this.
Hicks knocked Hillary out cold on Wednesday.
“Have you failed to include the enemy in your calculus, the enemy called the media, who control what the vast majority of Americans have as a facts base?”
Who cares what the majority of the Americans or media lapdogs “feel” about this clown? Treat it like a criminal investigation, just like anything else. Get the public and media circus, and wind up with another O.J. Simson outcome.
This is not a court of “public opinion” where some idiot made a political error. It’s a ghastly CRIME. And until we start thinking this way, we’re done like the Christmas goose.
