Every now and then, a republican accidentally tells the truth.
McCarthy promised that he would be a speaker with a “strategy to fight and win.” Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?” he said. “But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustworthy.”

Now, naturally, the connection between the presidential race and the Benghazi investigation didn’t go over well with Democrats.
So yes, they "put together" a freakin' fake committee with the sole purpose of playing politics on the deaths of four dead Americans.
Naturally, the Dems hit back hard: http://thehill.com/...
"It is shameful that Republicans have used this tragedy and the deaths of our fellow Americans for political gain," Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said in a statement Wednesday, noting that Congress has spent $4.5 million on the committee.
"In boasting of how the Select Committee had driven down the poll numbers of Secretary Hillary Clinton, McCarthy laid bare the abusive purpose of this taxpayer funded committee," another Democrat on the panel, Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), said in a statement Wednesday.
Schiff said that after 16 months and millions of dollars, the committee "has gained no new insights into the attacks in Benghazi" and reiterated calls for the panel to end.
Is anyone here surprised?
No.
Is anyone surprised this loon actually admitted it?
Absolutely.
This hearing will be a lot of fun now.
