Only Speaker John Boehner can allow the formation of a House Select Committee. The Reps don’t need Dem approval to form one.

Right. But the Dems can easily “de-legitimize” it by not showing up and saying later all the findings were “political.” Much like the Wisconsin strategy.

Plus, if the entire debate is pared down to formation of a committee then the substance of Benghzi is lost on people. It becomes a “process” debate blah blah blah.

Plus. I don’t trust Boehner.

Who cares if they try to delegitimize it? Not participating makes them look worse and there will be no one to defend Dem interests, which is why I am sure they would participate. The objective is to get the facts out. More whistleblowers have already been identified. The objective is the truth.

Reps participated in Pelosi's select committee on global warming.

Is it any wonder why the Reps are called the Stupid Party? We have over 150 Reps in House calling for a select committee and Boehner still doesn't get it.
