ON THE RECORD:: Greg Sargent (Washington Post) writes (" Dems mull whether to boycott House GOP Benghazi hearing"). He writes:
"The House GOP leadership just announced
that Rep. Trey Gowdy will head the newly announced special committee
to probe what happened in Benghazi. Gowdy, as it happens, has already
informed America that he knows that the administration is guilty of a
serious cover-up, claiming
he has “evidence” of a “systematic, intentional decision” to withhold
untold numbers of Benghazi documents from Congress. The question now is
whether House Dems will boycott the proceedings. Over the weekend, Dem
Rep. Adam Schiff suggested
they should, on the grounds that this will be a “colossal waste of
time” that doesn’t deserve to be treated with any “credibility,” given
how much has already gone into investigating Benghazi. This provoked outrage from Republicans."
Without going into great detail, there are questions that need to be
definitively answered and though that may not actually bother Democrats,
unless they deal with it now, it will affect a potential run by Hillary
Clinton or even Joe Biden (since we was VP at the time). If there is
nothing then no one has anything to worry about. The Obama
administration has a long history of ending debate and investigation on
issues by just saying "It's over," even though nothing has really been
investigated.
