These Are The 5 Democrats Who Will Be On The Benghazi Committee
Business Insider ^ | 05/21/2014 | BRETT LOGIURATO

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday named the five Democrats who will participate in the select committee established by House Speaker John Boehner to investigate the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya. Here they are:

* Elijah Cummings, Ranking Member on the House Oversight Committee

* Adam Smith, Ranking Member on the House Armed Services Committee

* Adam Schiff, a member of the Appropriations Committee who vehemently opposed the creation of the panel

* Linda Sanchez, a member of the Ways and Means Committee

* Tammy Duckworth, a member of the Armed Services Committee

A senior Democratic aide had said earlier in the day that Pelosi was "leaning toward" participating in the committee. Some Democrats suggested the party should boycott the committee entirely while others offered a Plan C — send only one member, which would allow for Democrats to both signal their disapproval of the panel while also maintaining their ability to question witnesses and get access to reports.

Elijah Cummings should be disqualified right off the bat for unethical behavior on Obama’s political misuse of the IRS.

no Grayson? LOL. I guess the rest of the party didn’t think that smarmy ass is the best face to put on the party during these hearings.

They want Elijah Cummings there to serve as the Obama firewall ( AKA obstructionist ), the same way he did the IRS hearings.

So these dhimmicrats are assigned to make an attempt to frustrate Trey Gowdy’s search for the truth of what happened at Benghazi?

Why boycott the committee hearings when you can send in people to obfuscate and interfere?

That’s what Elijah Cummings is there for. He has vast experience with the IRS investigations.

Glad to see that the Dems are going to be there.. they absolutely cannot let the Committee succeed I'll get to watch the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats (along with their ideological issue) in action again!

Not likely to see Mau-Mauing on the Committee but the audience will be stacked with disruptors.

Yes, they will but they are worried or wouldn’t have joined on the committee. Plus, the VA scabdal is gonna suck the air out of these losers.

His unethical behavior makes Elijah especially qualified to be one of the dhimmicrat quintuplets.
