The Benghazi Story goes critical

[boomerang]

What anxiety? At this point the Republicans on the Benghazi committee have broken more laws than Hillary.

Well, nice to see you admit she's broken laws. What do you think, country club prison?

 

[brycejones]

Still waiting for it to "go critical".....

Sure, everyone's broken laws. I broke the speed limit this morning and ran a red light yesterday. I think I even downloaded a song illegally once upon a time.

This is possibly the most ridiculous and partisan much ado about nothing ever.

This meme could very well backfire on them and get Hillary elected. This is actually distressing as she is a war-mongering neocon. We could be hip deep in Middle East blood if she gets elected.

Awesome opening statement by Hillary...very well crafted.

She seems to be representing herself pretty well from what I've been watching off and on. Probably not what Gowdy was hoping for.

She's staying totally calm, patient, and confident so I'm sure not. She's coming off as presidential. Dammit!

nearly 3/4 of voters think Benghazi panel is politically motivated. Snipped from CNN poll.

Do you think the House Select Committee on Benghazi is mostly conducting an objective
investigation of what happened in the Benghazi attack, or is it mostly using the investigation to gain
political advantage? (ASKED OF HALF SAMPLE. RESULTS BASED ON 523 INTERVIEWS IN
VERSION B -- SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 4.5 PERCENTAGE POINTS.)
Oct. 14-17
2015
Mostly conducting an
objective investigation 23%
Mostly using the investigation
to gain political advantage 72%
No opinion 5%

She's ready!

There's been some talk that the RNC should pay for these hearings. But not today. The DNC covers today.

Do we get a link to the poll? Is it 3/4 of voters or 3/4 of Democrat voters, or 3/4 of likely Democrat voters or who? What's version A if this was from version B. Hopefully you get the idea at this point.

Despite those concerns, 72% of all Americans say they see the Benghazi committee as mostly using its investigative mission for political gain, just 23% think it is conducting an objective investigation. Even Republicans are skeptical on this measure, with 49% saying the committee is trying to score political points vs. 47% who say it is conducting an objective investigation. Among Democrats, 85% see it as seeking political advantage and among independents that stands at 75%.

**I think** it was 3/4 voters. No party was mentioned. I could be wrong, I don't have it handy.
Keep in mind the question was Politically motivated not is she guilty of some misdeed.

On the more general question of whether the committee has gone too far, opinions are more mixed. Women are more apt than men to say the committee has gone too far (48% among women, 31% among men), and Democrats are more likely to say it has overreached than Republicans (71% of Democrats think it has gone too far, 74% of Republicans that it has acted appropriately).

Dissatisfaction with Clinton's handling of Benghazi is widespread, 59% are dissatisfied, 36% satisfied. Among Democrats, 63% say they are satisfied, but large majorities of Republicans (85%) and independents (65%) say they are dissatisfied.

After watching the hearing, 3/4 of all voters will be Democrats. :awe:

 

[senseamp]

Large majorities of Republicans are dissatisfied, period. And large majority of "independents" are now former Republicans who are insufficiently or too crazy for the GOP.

 

[sportage]

Well if they can't nail Hillary with thIS hearing, guess they'll just need to have another hearing. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another.

You see where this is going?

 

[trenchfoot]

Compared with the other committees that "investigated" the Benghazi incident, the current one really looks tamed down.

I'm sure that those three admissions by those other Repubs about the intent of the investigation had a big impact on how much pressure Hillary was going to have to bear, considering how well the investigation got branded as a witch hunt.

Now that the truth is out there, I'm sure the Repubs are going to have to really ratchet back their blatant attempt at smearing Hillary the way they really wanted to in order to appear "credible" and "honest" in their 8th attempt at "getting to the truth". lol

 

[Balt]

Holy shit, they are still interrogating her?

They were already well into it when I walked by the TV at 11:30 this morning.

Edit: Oh and apparently they're still talking about the same shit again. I guess they are just going to keep repeating everything and hope she loses her cool.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Maybe this was all a ploy to get her on the stand, right about the time she'd be running for president and allow her an opportunity to look strong, thus sealing her presidential victory.

She's gaslighting the gop....

She's doing well and looking presidential. They should have more meetings

 

[Jhhnn]

Barring some political sea change, she'll eat them alive in the election & bring more Dems to Congress right behind her.

What is Jim Jordan investigating?

The guy is obsessed with the youtube video crap. He spent a ton of time on it this morning too.
