Pay Us Back: John Boehner Has Wasted $2.1 Million On New Benghazi Investigation

PoliticusUSA

John Boehner’s House Benghazi Select Committee has wasted $2.1 million in taxpayer money investigating the already disproven Republican Benghazi conspiracy theory, and it is time for taxpayers to demand a refund.

Bloomberg reported:

The tally: $1,795,017 from the time the panel began work in May through the end of 2014. More than three-fourths of the total went to compensate staff.

So far in 2015, there’s only one report to examine. It showed that the House Select Committee on Benghazi spent $289,085 in January.

...


... $2.1 million doesn’t sound like much money in terms of government spending, but for the same amount House Republicans could provide a month of food assistance to more than 8,000 needy American families. It would be nice if the Clinton email obsessed media would ask these hungry Americans if they would rather have food for a month, or know what Hillary Clinton did with her emails.

... House Republicans are not only wasting money with their bogus investigations. They are also misusing resources.

It ain't quite 2am, and Hillary's private server is going to be what orders another round.
