Kangaroo Court Is in session, Republicans go after Hillary Clinton
Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.), too, said Wednesday that the panel was set up largely to go after 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," Hanna said on a New York radio show.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) insists his Benghazi Committee investigation isn't about hurting 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the polls.
But if you look at the witness interviews he's attended, and not attended, there is a clear theme: Gowdy is mostly there for the people directly connected to Clinton.
Republicans continue to say their probe isn't political, but House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) suggested otherwise last month when he said the committee has succeeded in hurting Clinton's presidential bid.
Peter Roskam (IL-06) has also admitted in email correspondence that the committee was interested in hurting Hillary Clinton politically.
etc. etc. etc.
Republican leaders formed the Select Committee on Benghazi nearly a year and a half ago and, so far, have spent $4.5 million on its work. There have been at least seven previous investigations.
Clinton is testifying before the full committee on Oct. 22.
