Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking Democrat on the House Select Committee on Benghazi, had some choice words for the Republican sideshow, called the Benghazi hearings. He called the hearings a Republican “fishing expedition” and blasted his GOP colleagues for hosting such a politicized event: Last weekend, the Chairman told his Republican colleagues to “shut up” and stop talking about the Select Committee. What I want to know is this—why tell Republicans to shut up when they are telling the truth, but not when they are attacking Secretary Clinton with reckless accusations that are demonstrably false?

The Benghazi hearing on Thursday was a real circus, and House Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Rep Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said the investigation turned up no new information. Basically, Gowdy and the committee Republicans wasted everyone’s time.

What a crock. This has become the most pathetic political investigation in history, and it’s obvious to everyone, including...

During the most recent hearing on Benghazi, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), the ranking Democrat on the House Select Committee on Benghazi, called the investigation a “$4.7 million fishing expedition” led by the Republicans. Cummings is correct. The Republicans have led more hearings, investigations, and interviews regarding Benghazi than any recent American tragedy, including 9/11. After 9/11, there were two congressional committees charged with investigating the attacks. Eight committees were assembled to investigate the Benghazi attacks. The number congressional hearings conducted for the Benghazi attacks, 32, far outpaced the number held for 9/11, 22. This number includes both public and...
