Last Wednesday, as the House was preparing for its new investigation into the Benghazi attacks, House intelligence committee chairman Mike Rogers gathered Republican members of his committee for a meeting. While the main purpose of the meeting was to discuss surveillance reforms the committee was about to pass, Rogers also warned his colleagues about the upcoming select committee to investigate Benghazi.
“He was saying this could be a rabbit hole,” one House member told The Daily Beast. “He was warning us that we should not let this investigation get into conspiracy theories.”
Contrary to the caricature of Republicans, as singularly obsessed for political reasons with Benghazi, the reality is quite different. There is deep unease within the Republican leadership that the select committee, which has yet to announce a schedule of hearings, could backfire, and badly. Investigate and find nothing new, and the committee looks like a bunch of tin-hatted obsessives. Investigate and uncover previously-hidden secrets, and it makes all of the other Republican led panels that dug into Benghazi seem like Keystone Kops.

Hell we do not know where the President was during the battle and who gave the order to stand down (the thought is to always to go to the sound of gunfire when Americans are in danger). The thought of the answering those two questions will drive the left nuts.
Now they are worried that they look like idiots for NOT finding anything before?
Morons should not have done a half-assed job before.
LOL, what a hoot!
LMAO- left wing nonsense...does anyone expect anything different from the far left?? if the GOP uncovers the BS lies of obama over Benghazi its their fault...
“And we would have gotten away with it except for those pesky republicans” ;’)
Anything except kissing Democrat ass spooks GOP leaders.
Oh, my. That’s perfect!
Thank God that GOP hack Rogers is retiring.
They have seen Trey Gowdy in action. They are aware of his record as a prosecutor.
We are seeing fear on both sides of the aisle.
He may also be ‘compromised’ because he is a muzzie, so I hear.
The peaceful type, I hope.
Thanks—but sometimes it’s paiful to be right. ):
I’m so stealing your graphic!
I quess Eli is right. Maybe the GOP should just fold the tents and go home. After all, they don’t want to get spooked.
Mike is also retiring, interesting all these Congress Critters suddenly retiring (ie: Carl Levin who knew emails of his would be released).
What did Mike know about Benghazi prior to Stevens death?
Those guys who died, what difference does it make?

Just bumps in the road for Obamugabe.
Bohner will run block for the resident just like fast and furious.
One thing is clear, they need to drag his ass before the special committee and show no mercy. He’s got a radio show waiting for him after his retirement, which will be conveniently used to attack Conservatives.
