Thanks, Kevin.
Poor, poor Republican Benghazi "investigators." Ever since House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy publicly spilled the beans that the Benghazi Committee was intended to drive down Hillary Clinton's poll numbers, they haven't been able to have their way with the media as they were accustomed to. So now the people who were previously masters of media leaks as they slow-walked their "investigation" are all about
ignoring the media (aside from giving the media quotes about how they're ignoring it) and just keeping their heads down and doing their work:
“You have to tune it out," said a Republican committee source, later adding: "It’s really all we can do. At the end of the day, the ultimate verdict, the lasting verdict on the committee, will be the final, definitive accounting we provide for the American people and the proof to substantiate the findings.”
We look forward to you guys finding the final, definitive, ultimate, lasting, smoking gun verdict that seven previous Benghazi investigations failed to find. Republicans are also pushing hilarious explanations of how they've refused to release full information about what they're doing for the noblest of reasons:
[Rep. Susan] Brooks backed that strategy in a phone interview with POLITICO on Wednesday: “In serious investigations, the investigators don’t provide to the public bits and pieces of their investigation. Because in some ways it’s not complete until they’ve assembled all of the pieces of the puzzle and that’s what we are doing.”
Yeah, except for all those leaks coming from you guys. I guess we're pretending those weren't happening steadily right up until McCarthy made partisan leaking a liability? And now
another Republican has admitted that "I think that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people and an individual, Hillary Clinton," so the liability isn't going away anytime soon.
