"Benghazi, Joe McCarthy and the witch trials: Trey Gowdy’s farcical hearings

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

tap into a deep, dark American current"

Interesting article about the what might be the underlying reasons for the GOP's obsession with Benghazi - it isn't just about Hillary. And it includes a reference to Yog-Sothoth.

What Benghazi promised the paranoid faithful, or still promises – we can’t presume that one embarrassing hearing will bring an end to this charade – was a chance to turn the tide, to strip the scales from the eyes of their benighted and deluded fellow countrymen and reveal the scope of the hideous plot to destroy America. For the conspiratorial right-wing hive mind, Benghazi is the gate and the key to the gate, like H.P. Lovecraft’s ancient and indescribable entity Yog-Sothoth. But as with the One-in-All and All-in-One of the Lovecraftian universe, opening that gate leads only to madness and oblivion: What lies beyond is the “amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity,” otherwise known as the legislative agenda of the House Freedom Caucus.
