The Hillary Clinton campaign has already pounced on reports that the Benghazi Committees report will likely be delayed until next year, closer to the 2016 election.
A spokesman for committee chairman Trey Gowdy said that factors beyond the committees control could continue to impact the timing of the inquirys conclusion.
Well, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta pounced today, putting out a press release saying this is proof positive the Benghazi investigation is pure politics:
The Gowdy Committees admission today that it will not finish its investigation until 2016 is the most telling evidence yet that their investigation is solely about playing politics in the 2016 presidential campaign. This action is the latest example in a broad concerted effort by Republicans and their allies to launch false attacks against Hillary Clintons record and deep experience on foreign affairs and national security.
Gowdy has said he wants Clinton to testify to the committee twice; once on Benghazi, once on her private e-mail server. And Clintons own attorney says shes willing to do so, but that they want her testimony scheduled without delay.

What a pin-head that Gowdy is. Looks about 18, too.

She should try to get them everything they want sooner than later so that the scandals don't all pile up at once toward the end.

I'm shocked beyond words.

There have been seven inquiries into Benghazi and none have found any malfeasance on the part of Secretary Of State Clinton.

Politics ain't fair and least of all, the gauntlet Presidential candidates have to run. Sorry that ruffles your feathers. I suggest you get used to it, because it's barely getting warmed up now.

(99,716 posts)For a sizeable amount of the nation they turned John Kerry, a decorated war hero, into a traitor who shot himself to get his Purple Hearts and shot a combatant teen ager in the back as he was running away to get his Bronze Star.
For a sizeable amount of the nation they turned our president into a crypto-Muslim, who is here illegally, and "pals around with terrorists"
The Clintons will fight back. I admire people that fight back.

(14,524 posts)Hillary Clinton carries an entire trainload of juicy baggage that makes the perfect ammunition to distract from getting ANYTHING of value done.
So I suppose you "admire" a President that fights harder against members of his own party than he EVER did against "those evil Republicans?"
Freakin' neo-liberals, they never change.

(99,716 posts)You seem upset. Since I am an empathetic person I regret upsetting you. Exercise is a good catharsis but please start slow.
That said; "Fast And Furious", IRS, Benghazi, Veterans Administration intentional malfeasance. If there aren't scandals, the Republicans will just make um up.

Enough already. We're going under and you're looking to "fight" for personal nonsense
