Hillary better start polishing her resume if she wants a job after 2016, says this guy
Well, it's over—the House GOP's #Benghazi select committee has held its first hearing, and there
really weren't fireworks:
The special House committee investigating the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi debuted Wednesday in less confrontational style than previous congressional hearings on the issue.
The panel's first public hearing focused mostly on whether the State Department has learned its lesson about security.
Why no fireworks? Well, committee chairman Trey Gowdy
said he wanted to run things "in a way that appears to be serious-minded" because that encourages reluctant witnesses to become "interested in cooperating." In other words, the lack of tinfoil was a ploy to uncover the hidden conspiracy lurking beneath the surface of Benghazi ... which actually means the Wednesday was just a different kind of tinfoil, perhaps more subtle, but still there.
And Dick Morris is jazzed:
Dick Morris, former White House strategist during the heyday of Bill Clinton, said Wednesday’s Capitol Hill hearings on Benghazi are only the tip of the iceberg — the issue is about to get really heated for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“She hasn’t hit that bump in the road yet really,” Mr. Morris said during an interview on “America’s Forum” on Newsmax TV. “She’s about to hit big time the Benghazi problem.”
Why?
“The hearings ultimately are going to be involving one person, Hillary Clinton,” he said.
Well, finally Dick Morris has said something that makes a tiny bit of sense. The hearings probably will focus on her, because the hearings are a Republican idea and they are thoroughly political in nature. But the part of the equation that he doesn't understand is that tinfoil Benghazi rants won't be her undoing in 2016. Quite the opposite, in fact, because Benghazi is the new birtherism.
