Having Thomas Pickering as the investigator is desirable because he has many years experience, is not politically affiliated and worked for both dems and gop.

The GOP shouldn't play politics with this but they will.

and worked for both dems and gop. ....And got butchered by the Dems when he was up for the Supreme Court.

[what's up]

There's no reason the State Dept. can't come up with some kind of report within 30 days.

The reason they don't want to is not that it would be perceived as partisan, but that State will be unable to cover its tracks.

The Pickering stunt is a stall to get past elections; another cynical stunt by Madame Hillary.
