Krauthammer: I Hope Pelosi Decides Not To Put Dems On The Panel So The GOP Can Focus
Real Clear Politics ^ | May 9, 2014

Posted on 05/10/2014 3:19:21 PM PDT by Hotlanta Mike

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I don't think you have to have a committee of seven experts. I think it is good to choose people who will not seek the limelight. The most important thing here is that the legitimacy of the committee will not come from the composition, but will come from its results. So, the Democrats imagine that if they boycott it will delegitimize it and the results will be ignored. Perhaps initially, but all the committee has to do is to discover new facts as we discovered a week and a half ago with the [Ben] Rhodes memo and that you cannot ignore.

So I hope that Pelosi decides that she does not want to be an accomplice to the sideshow and withholds Democratic members. It won't affect the result, but what it will do, it will allow the Republicans to follow up in their questions in a coherent way without being interrupted by Democrats hurling softballs or making speeches that are ways to essentially exonerate the administration.

The only hope of Americans ever getting to the truth is if Pelosi keeps her clowns at home and away from these hearings. Americans don’t want another circus. Keep the commie ‘RATS OUT!

Remember how rude and personal Condi Rice was treated by Barbara Boxer at the 9/11 hearings? I do. Let them keep their clown suits, race cards, their giant vagina outfits and other distractions out of the conference room. Adults have lots of work that must be properly done asap.

Yeah, that’s just about enough delay and obfuscation from the party and their media organs always claiming the GOP is “obstructionist”.
Gotta satisfy due process before the indictments are handed down ... then plea bargains, convictions and sentences.

Chuck was exactly convinced the other week that it was over. A lot of people apparently smarter and wiser than Chuck had the sense to not go on TV and embarrass conservatism by sounding like a democrat and miming their talking points.

So what if hes right ‘now’. Lots of us are right. The thing is he can no longer be trusted.

He’s right more often than he’s wrong.

Thats not the point. When the chips were down, he spit in the face of all the victims of Bhenghazi. He stood there telling the families of those people that it was ‘over’.

That is about as disgusting as it gets whether he did it in person, on TV or in an article. We need to stop making excuses for our ‘heroes’ when they pull this crap and call it what it is.

He’s no hero to most and I was also ticked off when he said that. He made a bad judgment call on that one but like I said before, he’s more right than wrong.

Maybe it would be best if you quit watching him.

We can all make mistakes bro. He retracted that stuff, so... ease down man.

Oh, shut up, you pretentious old Neo. So sick of how smart this guy is—he’s completely late to the Benghazi boat and he thinks he’s captain!
