NY Republican Lashes Out at Benghazi Committee, Admits it's a Witch Hunt

Oops I did it again. Ok, not exactly. This time it's not a gaffe. This is a NY Congressman who knows many of his constituents voted for HRC and wants to distance himself from it.

"Sometimes the biggest sin you can commit in D.C. is to tell the truth."

"A second congressman admitted on Wednesday that the Republican House committee created to investigate the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, is solely "designed to go after" Hillary Clinton."
“This may not be politically correct, but I think that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people and an individual, Hillary Clinton,” Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) said on a morning radio show in upstate New York."
Clinton's campaign on Wednesday held up Hanna's comments as further proof that the committee has "zero credibility."
"House Republicans aren't even shy anymore about admitting that the Benghazi Committee is a partisan farce," campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement. "After failing to produce any new information on the tragic 2012 attacks at Benghazi despite a 17-month investigation, John Boehner has reportedly urged the committee to shift its focus to Hillary Clinton's emails in an ongoing effort to try to hurt her politically. Hillary Clinton will still attend next week's hearing, but at this point, Trey Gowdy's inquiry has zero credibility left."

Howard Dean on Lawrence O'Donnell tonight argued that if the GOP were smart they would shut this down. I mean this is probably just going to give her another chance to beat them up and probably make the mother of all campaign ads on besides.

Maybe it will be what she wins the Presidency on.

If you are at all intelligent I think you'd have to consider shutting it down.I mean she is running campaign ads off of it and she got huge applause lines dismissing it as a partisan witch hunt at the debate. If it has zero credibility what is the upside?

 But this is the GOP in 2015. Enough said.
